Thanks to our fellow staff member xRotorstormx we have a new image of a special Kreo combiner set that has been found in the United States. This set was found at a Dollar General and contains the Kreo combiner versions of Superion, Menasor, and Bruticus. Now you must remember that these sets are only 4-member gestalts and each is missing their 5th member, but the combiner process here does not require the 5th member and you can go out and find that member separately. In these cases, it is Blastoff, Wildrider and Slingshot who are missing from the sets. Check out the image we mirrored below for your enjoyment, and as always stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers News and Galleries!

Yeah, kinda hard to buy the 5th guy now...

I mean, it was always a pain finding both the Combiner set and the individual release, but still.

No sightings of the three pack butt, there are single packs with blastoff as one of the blinds.

It is a pretty weird coincidence that the missing members in Kre-O align with the replaced members in CW: Quickslinger, Brake-Neck, Groove, Blast Off... Nosecone got a straight redeco, so he kinda counts too (then again, so was Lightsteed).

Hrmm...I thought this was reported on over a month ago? Maybe that was most other sites. Anyway...yeah there is a dollar General literally within walking distance of my house. They don't have the combiner sets, but they have several other repackaged building sets, and the newly re-tampographed microchangers series 1. I've debated getting them because I purchased other Kreons with fewer differences than these, but decided ultimately not to. Hopefully we may see something new in the future, at least a SDCC Class of 1986 set, but I am not holding my breath.

I may have to hunt for this. I already have two of the missing members, just would need to find a Blast Off for completeness.

I've been snatching up some of those re-packaged Dollar General sets. They're interesting; I've so far only opened the "Wheeljack versus Knock Out" set, and the instruction pamphlet is a new printing that omits the robot builds (which are also not shown on the box). The set itself, however, has all the original pieces, so you still get Wheeljack and Knock Out heads, plus a bunch of ball joints.

A bit of interesting news for you Seibertronians out there this evening, coming from a seller off of Chinese auction site Taobao. It seems some unreleased Kreo figures have made there way to the site, specifically different warrior variants of Bumblebee, Optimus, Ultra Magnus, Grimlock, Megatron, and Starscream. These, in addition to an interesting "Soccer" Bumblebee figure, have never seen the shelves of retail, and aren't expected to any time soon, so if you're a Kreo completionist, this might be the time to jump on these Kreons. Check out the figures in the photos below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com, your ultimate Transformers resource.

interesting...looks like what would have been a 3rd warriors assortment. Not sure about the Soccer BB. I'll definitely check into these. Also as many were searching for TR Brainstorm at Walgreens my local ones had microchangers series 4 still. The packaging said 2016...so I assumed they were part of the rereleases with the new tampographs, but the packaging still had the serial # which distinguished which figure was in each packaging. When I saw series 1&2 at dollar general, they did not have these....?

Here's some sudden news from a line that most may have forgotten: Transformers Kre-O Battle Changers have been spotted at Dollar General store (the actual location is not given by the source, user Eddie of Talk Transformers)! And not just old figures again, but two new sets entirely: check out below images of Shockwave and Grimlock, plus newcomers Ironhide and Megatron!

Interesting. My local DG has had repacks of older stuff for a long time. If it would have been the proposed Blitzwing & Drift Triple Changers, or the BB and Optimus Combiners we never got I would have been all over those....

Maybe then there is a sliver of hope those unreleased 3rd wave of warriors kreons might show up there?

I'll be stalking the local Dollar General stores for these!

These are really interesting. I guess Hasbro sees a viability in market 6 stores. There were also RID sets that apparently were never released.

We have some brand new images of some Transformers RID Kreo sets. While the original post is in Japanese, we can gather that several characters from RID will become Kreo figures. Optimus, Bumblebee and Grimlock and Sideswipe will get three different colorations making a total of 12 figures to collect. The actual source is Eddie Mendelez, snakas just showed the images.

Also upon translating this article it is important to note that these figures were found at Dollar General. So if you are around Japan it might be worth it too have a look.
