    Ah, I see. Thanks!

    While I’m here, I got a question for you all — just how crazy did you go with your Kreon buying? I wound up with over 200 of the lil’ jeemers!

    I haven't actually counted them, but I pretty much bought everything available for Transformers and GI Joe, plus have quite a bit of Dungeons & Dragons and Star Trek as well.

    There was also a "soccer" Bumblebee and a "summer" Drift. Those two were never officially released, though.

    You can still find samples of them floating around though. I snagged some when I was on a KREO bender awhile back. They're still sealed, though, so I can't take pictures of the figures. (Probably going to keep em sealed for collector's value since you cant really open a polybag without destroying it...)

    Yep, I got the pair on eBay not too long ago from a seller in Canada.

    I'm not signing up for a store credit card to get a dirty figure of a character I've never heard of. This will suit my meager Redwing needs:
    Redwing.JPG I don't have any red null rays. My choices were orange, black, or clear purple. Maybe I'll try black later. The 3-piece thing next to him is weapon he can hold, that becomes the tailfins and nose like Microchanger Acid Storm, so Redwing does have the standard Seeker altmode build.

    Edit: I tried the black null rays and a Tetrajet build:
    RedTetJet.JPG
    The leftover vehicle pieces no longer make a holdable weapon, but I wasn't going to have him hold it that much, anyway:
    RedTetBot.JPG

    Here's my custom Redwing. Seeker customs are a favorite of mine, so I made a bunch.

    I saw this, and decided to make more Seeker customs. I ran out of appropriate helmets and torso decos, but managed to make 10 originals (front row) to go with my 11 Hasbro Seekers (back row). I've also got Ninja Starscream and some kind of Greaser Starscream. But, those don't have wings, so I didn't include them. Plus, I forgot and am too lazy to redo the photo.
    KreonSeekers.JPG
    back row: Sunstorm, Skywarp, Thundercracker, Acid Storm, 3 Starscreams, Dirge, Thrust, Ramjet, Slipstream
    front row: Tetrajet Skywarp, F15 Nova Storm, Redwing, Hotlink (with flamethrower), Nacelle, 5 originals based on what parts I had left

    Nice customs. I really like that Tiger one. I will have to make one for myself.

    Hey peeps. Quick question. Why did the SDCC set have topspin but not twintwist?

    Any one know where to get both? I have a jumpstarter collection and would love a pair of kreo ones for it.

    I think someone on the radicons boards made decals for a custom twinwist kreon.

    You can find those decals here: 2D Artwork: - Yet another custom Kreon decal thread!

    And here are some mock-ups I made for my own custom ideas (decals + paint pending), might help inspire: 36C8D729-7B7F-4EBB-A6EB-867C03B1A9A2.jpeg 3B287A57-ECFD-4730-85CB-08FE6B4B7B15.jpeg

    Cool, I was thinking he needed the tank treads on his arms like Brawl. I just ont have the skills or resources so I was hoping to find someone on BST forums that had one ready to go. Thanks

    Thanks. I originally thought of the orange and black one as Hallowe'en themed, but tiger fits better.

    More custom Kreons inspired by actual characters:
    kreons1.JPG
    L-R: Ironfist, BW Dinobot, SS Grimlock, RiD Thunderhoof, G1 Drift, Cyberverse Shadowstriker, Kickoff, G1 Soundwave (alt mode), Predaking, car mode Optimus, Hightower, Demolishor (upright).

    Original designs (and Demolishor in two-wheel mode):
    kreons2.JPG
    Looking over my remaining parts, I'm going to run out of heads first. Hence, torso-head. The black makes the details hard to see; that back-left bot is a Pegasus.

    I've also got a thread of Brick bots in Radicons.

    I was super pissed as a kid when I bought that big Megatron set and someone stole the shockwave from it before I bought it. My mom and I were pissed!
