Transformers Kre-O Small Cube Prowl and Ratchet Sets Official Package Images

That is interesting.

New packaging, old product. And it seems they removed the robot modes. Watch as these actually get released outside Asia, but none of the cool new stuff...

(admittedly I'd be a lot more interested if it was Wheeljack or someone else I missed)

*BW Megatron voice* "New packaging, same product! Loser!"

So I decided to make myself a Kre-O Skullgrin in and out of his pretender shell.

looks like you get a lot of Kreons for your money.

I seriously want that Battle Changer Blitzwing! any idea when it'll be out in the UK?

pity no Battle Changer Metroplex, Omega Supreme, Scorponok, Trypticon & Fortress Maximus

To promote the new Kre-O Transformer warriors, which feature our favourite characters in eclectic getups, Kre-O teamed up with Stoopid Buddy Studios for a cute promotion. This video, found on the Official Transformers youtube channel, features Samurai Optimus Prime disguised as aTruck Hibachi Chef.

Enjoy:

Everything is Awesome about that video.

Well, that was silly fun.

Thanks a lot for posting this man, now I gotta get one

When I saw it, I just couldnt resist. Its even more awesome how its actually a video from Hasbro instead of a fan made one. Some of those marketting people know how to have a fun time.

I'd Ja'am to that!

Now to find a Toys R Us that still carries Kreo, rather than just a clearance section...

These Kre-O videos are getting a lot better.

my local is sold out of these, I had hoped for a restock, but based on previous Kre-o blind bags, I'll be either SOL, or they will get 5 boxes in 3 months time.

Today, we have a sighting from me, Autobot032! I found these two Kre-O sets at Family Dollar in Ashtabula Ohio, one featuring Bumblebee and the other featuring Megatron!

Oddly enough, both Kreons make an appearance on the packaging, but there's no mention of them being included with their respective sets.

Both sets are filled with random pieces so you can make custom builds and seem to share the Megatron and Bumblebee color schemes, but it clearly states that pieces and colors may vary, so don't be surprised if it doesn't come as advertised.

Bumblebee features 77 pieces and Megatron's checks in at 88, both are priced at $5.00 each and are available now at Family Dollar stores.



Keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates, plus the best galleries around!

A032- Those may be decent for just getting bricks in the same colors as Kreons. Did you pick those up to take a look at?

Lol, the price sticks make it look like don't have arms.

I saw these in a Big Lots in Los Angeles, but with Cliffjumper and Barricade on the boxes, for $5 each. I didn't get them.

The Barricade and Cliffjumper versions are repacks of the original sets. So maybe these aren't just random parts?

Too bad these aren't any of the new stuff. Kre-O has basically stopped here since the first AoE wave. It's nice to see signs of it coming back, but these aren't really anything I need or want.

Oh nice. I'll grab one or both of those sets if I see 'em.

Anybody have an image of what parts are in the Megatron and Bee boxes?

According to a post on FB complete with screen cap of the email from Hasbro, Kre-O is done in the US and the new sets for RID will be released in Canada only.

I'd buy these for $5 just to get the random bricks.

The Kreon is just a bonus.

Huh, I saw that Kre-o sets looked to be restocked at Wal-mart on the week-end but didn't take that close a look at them, maybe I should have.

Battle Changers Wave 2 are available on eBay, Hound and Soundwave. I'm not touching them since I wanna wait for Drift, and to see if the builds are a little more stable.

Courtesy of the tf_tf Twitter account, we have a look at the second wave of blind bagged Transformers Kreon Warriors, which includes the known robot cast donning more outfits and themed sets - featuring Gladiator and Pirate Optimus Prime, Samurai and Wild West Megatron, Army and Knight Bumblebee, Knight and Wiseguy Soundwave, Wiseguy and Ninja Starscream, and Samurai and Wild West Hound. Check them out mirrored below!

Those are pretty cool

LOL...I can see why they cancelled this line in the US. Transformer pirates......really? LOl... I mean come on. Megatron has a damn handkerchief around his mouth. Yep, because no one would suspect Megatron to rob banks and tie women to railroad tracks. I am surprised he doesn't have a handlebar mustache........

I surely hope they fired the moron that came up with this idea.

Ok Canada bros, anyone that can hook me up on Wave 1? I can also trade for stuff that may be hard to find up your way

Just in case you weren't SURE that Soundwave was a gangsta.

Heh, it's like they couldn't decide what to call the "Wiseguy" versions and just used the multi-language format to give them EVERY name.

I can also appreciate "Far Quest Hound". Sounds like a sci-fi series.

Oh my god:

No only does Soundwave come with Laserbeak, the little minion is made out of wood!
("Wiseguy" SW comes with a normal Laserbeak, btw)


It's too bad these have been discontinued over here, I'd have happily bought these up even without knowing which ones I'd get.

And here I thought Sir Soundwave would come with Bubo.

Quite.

Stars cream strikes me as the type of ninja who yells "BANZAAAI!"

This is as interesting as Star Trek TMNT from the 90s.

Love how they're integrating the Star Trek and DnD Kreon pieces with these to just have some fun. The Wave 3 AOE Dinobot Custom Kreons were similar in that regard. Kind of neat to have these Knight looking dudes in with the others. Plus they've reused the same helmet pieces so many times now it's nice to have some on the shelf that stand out, at least for now.

I'm not surprised at all the line's dead over here, just disappointed.

Agreed. I really like these guys. I mean, if I was to be honest I think Kreons are up there with all the other non-transforming transformers and I don't collect them. But these guys are pretty cool and imaginative. I'm sad to see they won't be available in the U.S.

At a push I'd say the Megatron Samurai looks kinda cool (or it would if it was a full size figure, even a GI Joe sorta thing and not a cutesy kreon, and besides it's really weird that Megatron has had a couple of Bludgeon-like toys if you read the G2 comics) but it still just seems like yet more dumbing down and dilution of the Transformers brand. But maybe I'm just still annoyed from that visit to a toy store a while ago where I asked if they had any Transformers and they showed me to a shelf that pretty much just had kreons, those AoE sparkydinoriders and the tall bricky titan figures. And then I wept for a few minutes upon leaving the store.

That Laserbeak.... no words.... Must have.

Everybody loves cosplay. I wonder if they will come up with anything for Arcee?

I certainly understand your frustration.

Where can I buy these? I need them so bad.

Transformers Robots in Disguise (2015) Kre-O Sets have been spotted at retail in Walmart in Montreal, Canada, by yours truly.

The sets found were:

sideswipe roadway rundown



bumblebee disc demolisher



strongarm capture cruiser



underbite jepack takedown




These may have been spotted in the wild before, but no one contacted us to let us know. So please, if you see something that can potentially be front page news, please contact us with pictures.

On a kre-o side note, the battlechangers have also been found here for a while but since it was never posted yet, I thought I could also mention it here. Since these sets are no longer in the Transformer aisle, they can easily be missed and this is just a reminder that they are around.

gangster soundwave and starscream... man, that hair. THAT HAIR.

I didn't realize Kre-O designs were outsourced to begin with. Where can I learn more about this topic?

As I mentioned before I'm pretty sure I spotted those at the Wal-Mart out here, but I didn't get a good look at them. I could tell there was a restock but I only had time to check for CW at the time as we were running late, and I'm pretty much sticking to the Kreon packs only. The Battle packs were there as well.

If you haven't already this is a good place to start.

These actually look pretty fun! Why do they get so much flak? They're not taking themselves seriously, why should we?

MaverickPrime wrote:These actually look pretty fun! Why do they get so much flak? They're not taking themselves seriously, why should we?

I dont think they are getting that much flak. I like the quality on these, they do indeed look fun, and they are at a cheaper price point than Lego.

The part that gets me is the Kre-o figure for Underbite. Its like the robot mode if his Robot mode on the show was another robot's beat mode.

MaverickPrime wrote:These actually look pretty fun! Why do they get so much flak? They're not taking themselves seriously, why should we?

Because children's playthings are SERIOUS BUSINESS to certain parts of this fandom.

Due to concern that new or current Kre-o Transformers products won't be released in the United States, but have been showing up elsewhere such as Canada (such as the Kre-o Robots In Disguise products and other products shown at Toy Fair 2015 and NYCC 2014, I asked Hasbro about the current status of the Kre-o Transformers products. Earlier this afternoon, Hasbro provided Seibertron.com with an official statement regarding everyone's favorite building block toys!

Hasbro wrote:As of this moment, there are no plans for the 2015 KRE-O Transformers: Robots in Disguise line, currently available in Canada, to be available for purchase in the U.S. However, we do have some exciting KRE-O special edition items planned for San Diego Comic-Con, and we look forward to sharing details about those soon, as well as more news about the future of the KRE-O brand.
