Do you love Combiners? Do you love Kreons? Well do we have news for you, because as MTV Geek has just reported, Hasbro has combined the two things, meaning we now have Kreon Combiners!
As they state there will be 4 sets at launch and each one of these sets included 4 figures than can be assembled in bot-mode, alt-mode, and combined Gestalt mode, and will sell for USD 10.99, not just that but Kreons are now to be sold separately from the Kre-O sets and will retail at USD 2.99 in Spring 2013.
So far only 2 sets have been revealed, Combaticons and Predacons!

Not bad for a bunch of Kreons. And only $11!
I'd have preferred Cyberverse, though. And 5 team members.

Looks not bad and the price seems good, too.

This is pretty good news. I'm glad they decided to do the scaled-down versions, instead of the Devastator-size, only because I'd be on the fence about purchasing more expensive sets that removed the 5th member from these teams.
Glad there are more Kreons as well. I will definitely pick these sets up.
And now I believe we know about that "Combiners" copyright from last week. Can always hope that Classics/Generations will get some of this love as well.

yeah hasbro really has no idea how to do combiners anymore, Didnt think they could do worse than energon or PCC combining but obviously i was wrong.

Just speechless, that's what I am. So what we have is 4 members per team, and the combiner mode is more kibble than Kreon. Heck, one arm is all kibble. And still, no hands.
Why "better than PCC and FoC"?

Now this I can get behind!
More of this, less of that other crap, and you will succeed! These look fun, intuitive, and cute all at once! Not to mention how awesome each respectable mode looks, once you see how small these guys are. good job hasbro. I thought it would be years before I said that again.

Bruticus made my day, with the LEGO "O" face.
Will buy, especially for 11$, those are fantastic.
Maybe not for TF fans, but for TF fans, that also like LEGO, this is

I'm surprised nobody mentioned that the single packed Kreons will probably include the fifth member to each team. I think that's a pretty simple genius kind f marketing strategy. The combined robot can be built out of only four members and their Lego bits for the left arm. The fifth member is unnecessary, but of course, gotta shell out an extra $3 for the whole team.
I won't fault 'em for it, but I'm not a completionist, haha. I feel like I'll be buying the fifth member for the Aerialbots for sure if they do nice wings for them. The Technobots as well, depending on who gets cut.

I'll certainly grab them, a couple of each I would say.
And maybe, just maybe, this indicates Predaking is on the way elsewhere...

Eh, Hasbro can never achieve what (some) fans want, anyways. We're getting a full Scramble City 5-man Combaticon Combiner team --no extra kibble or repaints-- and many are still not satisfied.
You'd kinda think Vortex would be the one Combati-Kreon left out, since he's got his own set.
