Hello, Just thought I'd show off some custom Kreons I've made from playing about with various parts. From L-R; GRIMLOCK Sideswipe helmet, Crankshaft head (coloured black around the eyes), Sentinel Prime torso, Starscream arms & legs, black hands, Sentinel gun IMPACTOR Prime BB helmet, Autobot head (can't remember which one), Shockwave body, arms and hands, hands switched over and Bluestreak legs - yellow legs didn't seem to fit right CORONATION STARSCREAM Shown previously on these boards - basically Starscream with Lego crown and cape CUSTOM RED SEEKER (RAGE??) Cross between Sentinel Prime, Starscream & Skywarp, with Prime Megatron head MEGATRON Megatron with back cannon added I'm hoping to do some more of these soon, as these Kreons are so easy to mix and match!
Cool. Are these all done just from swapping parts?!! Looks good. I got those oversized ones from Family Mart here (Optimus, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Megatron, and Starscream). I think I could make a big Grimlock out of them following your idea here. Any other possibilities you could think of that would look good as an oversized kreon?
Yep, just swapping parts. I'll have a think over what you can make with the larger ones, but it's more limited, due to there only being five of them. Here's the link to them; Kre-O Oversized Jumbo Kreon USB Hubs - Transformers News - TFW2005
Took me a bit with the search option disabled, but I found the links. First one is for the 5 'danglers'; second link is for the jumbo Optimus USB hub.

It's crazy how easy it is to create recognisable characters just through parts swapping. Bravo! Makes me want to get more.
This is the great thing about kreons. Even if Hasbro doesn't make the character you want, you can make a pretty damn close representation just by swapping parts.
Definitely - that's the best part about them! SANDSTORM Sunstorm's torso and waist with Vortex's arms, Skywarp's legs and helmet and Red Alert's head and gun. Trying to find something suitable to put on the back for the 'copter parts, but orange lego is not easy to come by!! MOTORMASTER Love Sharpies - coloured Skywarp's head pinky-purple and put it onto Crankshaft's torso and arms, with 'Warp's legs.
Few more added - Grimlock improved too! From L-R, pics 1 & 2 - Motormaster, Breakdown, Octane, Impactor, Grimlock, Skids.
WIP & completed Kreons Hubcap - Bumblebee with orange painted face Dreadwind - removed mouth from Skywarp head and put on Mirage torso (with '26' removed), with Skywarp arms, Shockwave legs, Starscream wings and Megatron helmet. Awaiting Reprolabels insignias. Darkwing - Jazz helmet on reversed Soundwave body (tape deck facing out towards Thundercracker wings), with Bluestreak arms and Megatron legs. Awaiting reprolabels insignias. Pipes - Optimus smokestacks on TC body (reversed, awaiting back piece to cover this), Soundwave arms & legs, Vortex helmet. Hot Rod - Sentinel helmet (ears sanded off), chest decal resized by myself (credit to Ranger Silver 6) Custom Kreon chest decals and added Skywarp legs, Sentinel body and arms with yellow back 'wings' (hoping to find some more suitable ones eventually). Awaiting X-Men Lego Wolverine claws for arm exhausts.
