    Ohpleaseyes! While I'm happy there is a new Blackarachnia at all, I would die for a new, none kreo, version.

    Construction toy name rights =/= other toy name rights...for some fucking reason. But thats why we get stuff like Kreo Trailbreaker but generations Trailcutter.

    Nope. Skimmer, Frostbite, Torosaur, Silversnout and the Obsidian, Lazerbolt, Grimstone and Volcanicon combiner teams are all brand-new movie-styled characters.

    Well, I like em’. Bring em’ on.



    Thanks for the clarification. I got confused will all the AOE made up Combiners that came out. I thought they would never have a 5th element.

    And it looks like we are getting a Depthcharge in the first wave.

    That's Cybertron Snarl, not Depth Charge.

    http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Snarl_(Cybertron)

    And with regards to Frostbite, I'm inclined to think it's a case of name reuse rather than being based on that guy. Kreon Frostbite has the same intricate, high-detail style of face/chest/leg printing as the other new-character guys, and he has a dinosaur head in beast mode...

    I don't think that is correct. While I will agree that Skrapnel does appears to be the 5th member for the Micro Changers Combiners Obsidian it stops there. Skimmer, Torasaur, Silversnout and Frostbite are Dinobots. Cut and pasted from the Hasbro press release:

    KRE-O TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION KREON MICRO CHANGERS Blind Bag Assortment(Ages: 6 & up/Available: May 2014)Each KRE-O TRANSFORMERS KREON MICRO CHANGERS Blind Bag features one TRANSFORMERS KREON figure that can either be built in its robot form or alternate battle mode. There are 24 unique KREON figures in total, including four DINOBOTS. Each sold separately.

    If you look closely you will see that Skimmer, Torasaur, Frostbite and Silversnout's color combos just don't match perfectly to any of the Micro Changer Combiners. I thought Frostbite might be the 5th member to the Lazerbolt at first but after looking at him closely I can see the colors are not correct on him either. I'm starting to give up on this 5th team member theory.

    Huh? I never said they were members of those combiner teams, just that they have the same movie-style aesthetic. I totally agree that they're the four Dinobots mentioned in that marketing copy.

    And I'm fairly certain that Skrapnel is actuually based on e-HOBBY Zaptrap rather being intended for the Obsidian team. Whilst, yes, he is a red and black insect, it's a different shade of red and he doesn't have the very complicated movie style of prints as the combiners and the four blind bag Dinobots.

    Sorry I misunderstood what you were says then.

    Certainly Skrapnel and Zaptrap do share some similarity, it just so weird for Hasbro to do both Kickback and Bombshell in regular colors and then do a Shanpnel in off colors.

    Speaking of movie-style aesthetic. Looking at Trailbreaker more and more I'm starting to think that he is actually movie Ironhide.

    Skalor prefect to finally complete Piranacon! Scattershot is part of Superion already & we did get quick slinger/slugger .Im definitely wanting Seaspray,Wheelie,Gears, and SunStreaker along with Skalor in this wave.Shrapnel,Mindwipe, and Trypticon from the first . Nice to see this second wave coming.

    Honestly I'm a little confused as to why they didn't take this opportunity to make at least 3 of the usual 4 Dinobots for one of the combiners. I'm not a fan of the new ones, so I may just skip these combiners.

    I agree .What a missed chance with the dinobots. Looks like my sentinel prime starscream grimlock will be solo for awhile longer.
