    Aww, they all seem cute, I might get a couple. I hope they do Micro-Changer versions of the classic Autobots like Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Soundwave, Starscream and Ironhide somewhere down the line, I know that Kreons for those already exist, but Microchangers of them would be cool too.

    why cheat when you can just buy the whole case and trade the ones away that you don't need.

    so far the revealed Micro changer kreons just miss the mark for me, and that goes for the combiner teams as well.

    I know what they are going for with this but thus far I have no desire for any of them, that said when the rest of the blind bag figs are revealed my mind may change but as it is currently I will not preorder.

    Okay, saw the pics... "Pathetic" is what I'd use to describe them. Save for Sunstorm, who is OK. Galvatron has Sentinel's helmet (which does not even resemble his G1 one) and some odd kevlar vest, probably from a Kre-O Battleship soldier. Waspinator has Jazz's helmet... JAZZ'S!!! Seriously, would it have killed them to create new molded helmets? Much like the upteenth helmet reuse in Bruticus, these simply... suck.

    Spinister will most likely be a recolor of Vortex - him and Sunstorm, I might get. Scorponok... remains to be seen.

    EDIT: I only realized Waspinator's wings are... diver's flippers. FACEPALM. It's like they got a selection of available Kre-O parts and thought "what could we make out of these with zero effort and no new parts?"

    It doesn't matter if kids don't recognise their names or appearances. May as well be 'new' characters to them.

    These seem to be done on a tight budget. A little extra something for minimal cost to themselves. It happens. Every Transformers toyline is taking hits in in some area or other right now.

    I dig 'em. Even with the recycled parts, etc. Price is what kept me from buying Kre-o in the first place. I really hope the first bunch of minifigs that came with the building sets get some microchange accessories and the blind bag treatment.

    They should make "Fan's Choice" sets so folks who went to past Hall of Fames can buy the Kreons for the year(s) they went. Each set would come in a window box, similar to what LEGO has done recently with their Vintage mini-figure collection sets: 852331 Vintage Minifigure Collection Volume 1 - Brickipedia, the LEGO Wiki

    2010 set: Optimus Prime |Bumblebee |Megatron |Starscream |Dinobot

    2011 set: Ironhide |Ratchet |Soundwave |Waspinator

    2012 set: Grimlock |Jazz |Shockwave |Wheeljack

    Those Vehicle modes are hilariously awesome, especially Galvatron's. Waspinator's face is so trollzy.

    I am not, because Lego can practically **** new parts each year, twice, for the minifigures line. Good parts, I might add. And Kre-O is owned by Hasbro, pretty much the richest/biggest toy company. What would it have cost to create a tiny minuscule new helmet/cannon for Galvatron? Or a new sculpted bug-head for Waspy with a 'cape' wing much like the seeker's have?

    These look, frankly, like kitbashes. Badly made kitbashes. Those that a 10-year old makes, desperately trying to make one character look like the other, because his parents don't have money to buy said character. I know, I did stuff like this. I built myself a Lego Omega Supreme because I never had the real thing. Thing is... even my crappy creation looked better then these.

    Except he looks nothing like Galvatron? really, I don't get why people are all over these. These and the new Gestalts are very, very, underwhelming. I like Sunstorm, will probably like Spinister (repainted Vortex) too, but there is something that works, and something that doesn't. Jazz's helmet as Waspinator's head... DOESN'T.

    (And btw., Superlink Galvatron is the best Galvy toy released so far. Him and Robot Heroes Galvy...)

    What exactly is Galvatron's alt mode? Medieval torture device...?

    A bug-headed guy from Lego Toy Story would make a better Waspinator then this.

    Double-tailed rolling leaf-blower. With arms. :)  (it actually reminds me a bit of Sinnertwin... with wheels)

    I´m curious, this is the second time you said you made better lego Transformers. Do you have pics, or do we have to take your word for it? Forgive me if I am a bit..skeptical.

    Its not about making the best possible version, its about making a version and keeping it under a specific budget.

    Which I'm guessing to be quite small.

    Using Jazz's helmet for Waspinator kind of makes it look like the original beast wars robot head.
