Nope
Don't you mean early, not late?
Anyway, did these ever even come out in the US? Never saw these or the new RiD sets.

Cute…but a little late for April Fools don't you think. Have much better things to spend my $$$ on.

Getting me that Ninja Shockwave.
Grimlockimus
Cowboy Optimus Prime…welp, that's just too weird to pass up.

They Look Nice and you could make a stopmotion series about how the transformers get stuck in D&D

Wow these are already popping up on ebay from HK sellers

So…people who post and contribute to the Kreo thread here on TFW are somehow a good representation of the entire crowd of people who like or collect Kreo? You say you're not guessing, yet you are guessing.
I have no problem with anyone disliking this wave of figures, I can see why they wouldn't appeal to every collector – but I happen to like them, even though I also like the previous, 'regular' Kreo stuff.
You're awfully close to using the word 'true fan', and apparently, I am not one of them, according to you. Am I not a 'fellow Kreonest'? (another awful group name in a long lines of group names, because apparently that's what Transformers fans do: divide people up in inaccurate, non-interchangeable groups and give them silly names)

Considering MMC Starscream is a rip off of the comic version of Starscream, I hardly think Hasbro is doing anything wrong at all.

Yeah, some people are jumping ship, but it's hardly the fail some people are claiming.
We also don't know if these are going to be replacing the Microchangers. I personally hope microchangers continue, but I think this is a fun sub line.

there you go folks, a literal example of Noobing yourself

If you were to visit the Kre-o appreciation board on this site we, the people that post and contribute on that thread regulatory, have already had this conversation and the majority of them, and yes me included, do not like the new direction Kre-o blind packs are going. I'm not guessing, I've read the post and can understand how my fellow Kreonest feel about it.
First the codes are taking off the package and now non Micro-changers Kre-o's. When you consider how many popular, well known characters that were never produced in the Micro-Changer line, this wave just seams like a waste.

I love how these little guys look, such a cool concept.

More things I never wanted but will have to get due to the cuteness factor. Awesome!
PS, my Wallet would like to announce it is damning Hasbro to hell.

Lolwhut? MMC's Screecher was based off of a Hearts Of Steel design.
EDIT: The ninja'd is strong with this one

Can they make a Pirate Bludgeon? It would bump these guys' rating from 10/10 to 11/10.

I love it when that happens.

You realize MMC Starscream is based on an official Hearts of Steel design, right?
How can you say something like this? Why are you deciding what level of investment people are having in Kreo?
I've been interested in Kreo from the start, and still am with the reveal of these figures. I've gotten quite a bunch lined up on my shelf, and the only reason I don't have more is because getting them in this country, both at brick and mortar stores and online, is really, really hard.
Some people like these, some people don't. Don't start pigeonholing people because you don't agree with a certain route the product is taking.

dear Hasbro, please make non-Kreo versions of these characters, Deluxe, Voyager, whatever class, this is like a totally new concept!!! with each version of the characters having their own theme & motifs!! like different seasons of the Power Rangers series!! so that it does not look like a repetitive rehash of the exact same character design its based on over & over again that may bore people to oblivion……..
