KREON MICRON-CHANGERS (PREVIEW SERIES)

Today, lets take a look at some Kreons. This is the first wave of Kreons that appeared in the market & is known as the Preview series. There are 6 blister packs for you to collect.

Upon closer inspection, you'll see that each random blister pack has a different code at the bottom. This code varies from country to country. Hence, these toys are not so random after all. In Malaysia, they are as follows: (21371 X). X is represented by six different numbers: 0, 1, 2, 7, 8 & 9. Hence the six different figures of this preview wave.

In each blister pack, the pieces are sealed in a small transparent bag that comes along with the instruction manul to build the Kreon.

This is the back of the instruction manual showing all six Kreons to collect. Without further ado, let's have a closer look at each of the Kreons from this wave.

1) A1007 Spinister

Spinister comes in the form of a helicopter. However, I don't think I've ever heard of this character prior to this.

In robot mode the landing ramps of the helicopter form a huge double barreled blaster.

2) A1008 Galvatron

Very similar to the actual Transformers, we see Galvatron here in the form of an artillery cannon. The third image above, you'll see that Galvatron's helmet doesn't actually form part of the vehicle mode.

In robot mode, the artillery legs form what looks like a jet pack for Galvatron.

3) A1009 Sunstorm

Next we have Sunstorm, one of the few Seekers. In vehicle mode, again the helmet of the Kreon doesn't fit in vehicle form.

Once transformation is complete, the excess parts become a hand weapon for Sunstorm.

For comparison purposes here's Sunstorm next to another Seeker, Thundercracker.

4) A1010 Crankstart

Crankstart, yet again another character that I've not heard of. In vehicle mode, this bot looks like a dune buggy to me.

In robot mode, there are three pieces that become redundant. If you take a closer look, the helmet reminds me of the Transformers Headmasters series.

5) A1011 Scorponok

Finally, my favourite of the lot. Scorponok looks menacing both in beast & robot mode. In scorpion form, the legs don't make the cut.

In robot mode, the funny thing is that there are remaining pieces as well. It would have been nice if they could find a way to minimize the excess pieces. Do be careful when transforming Scorponok though. Mine has shown some stress marks at the arms where you attach the claws.

Here's Kreon Scorponok next to Lord Zarak from the Headmasters series for size comparison.

6) A1012 Waspinator

Waspinator is the last of the lot for this wave. The wings actually look more like flippers to me.

In bot mode Wasponator looks more like Green Lantern than a green hornet to me. If you haven't noticed, the helmet mold is actually the same as Kreon Jazz, hence the sharp visor.

Having done reviewing them individually, now let's take a group shot.

Here's the Kreons in bot mode all over the place.

Currently, I've already picked up quite a number of Kre-O sets which include Optimus, Sentinel, Megatron, Ratchet, Starscream, Prowl & Sideswipe. Now all I need is the time to assemble them to be reviewed. Stay tuned!
