The blue has me thinking Braver.

Mainframe, perhaps? With that blocky head and blue body.

I was thinking the same.

I still say Braver because of the wheels:


Transformers G1 1989 Braver Gallery

Mainframe lacks wheels altogether:


Transformers G1 1990 Mainframe with Push-Button Gallery

Neither Mainframe nor Braver have a red helmeted head.

Turns out it's GoBots Buggyman based on G1 Beachcomber's unreleased red redeco, which will appear in the upcoming TCC prose story "Spatiotemporal Challengers" by Andrew Hall and Hayato Sakamoto (the latter of whom is the man behind these Kre-O comics).



The blue Seaspray is Man-O-War and the white Hubcap is Rest-Q.

Well played you two, well played.

So Kre-O's referencing the FUTURE now? What haven't they done?

Oh, a number of things.

Anyone else notice Wreck-gar in the first panel ? )

redguyver wrote:Anyone else notice Wreck-gar in the first panel ? )

Sabrblade and I did, and it's actually the second-last panel, as Japanese comics are read right-to-left, top-to-bottom.

Autobase Aichi has posted some images from a Toys"R"Us Transformers Kre-O display and store catalog. The catalog features another chapter in the popular Kre-O comic as well as various other Kre-O products. We've mirrored the images of the display and catalog scans below.

Devastator
Bruticus
Predaking
Optimus Prime
Bumblebee
Ai
Anna
Firestrike
Silverbolt
Skydive
Air Raid
Superion
Ringo Chikuma
Kayu Michikusa
Rescue Roy
Sally Jones
Miranda Jones
Wataru Hoshinoumi
Carlos Lopez
Wheelie (ROTF)
Sam Witwicky

Next one is up - http://www.takaratomy-marketing.co.jp/products_kreo/comic.html

Also from our friends at Takara Tomy we have their latest Kre-O web comic series. Take a look at episode 8 mirrored below:

Liokaiser
Darkwing
Covert Agent Ravage/X-9 Metals Jaguar
Megatron
Thrustinator
Divebomb
Headlock
Torox
Ynara
Bulldog
Optimus Prime (with his G2/Cloud backpack, no less)
Predaking
Sky-Byte
The Fallen
Either Daniel, Spike, or Jessica Morgan in an Exosuit
Blurr
Autobot X
Papika
Ambulon
Artfire
Drench

If they actually make a Kreon team of the Breastforce that actually combines into Liokaiser, consider that to be the only Kreons I will actually buy (if they're released in the US, which probably won't happen).

Am I seeing this wrong, or is Razorclaw not exactly house-broken yet...

So lets see:

Snowcat
Bludgeon
Scavenger (?)
Dirge
Gigastorm
Rampage
Bluestreak
Jazz
Sideswipe
Thunderblast
Redwing (you can thank me for this one - see below)
Tarn
Death Cobra
Sideways
Sideswipe
Zarak
Frenzy (heh, he has legs for arms)
Octane
Blackarachnia
Toxitron
Some yellow/gold, purple, and black character (?)

It was mentioned on the Allspark when the last couple of comics went online that the artist who illustrates these reads the boards and was going to take suggestions as to who to put into the background of the comic.

One of my suggestions was Redwing, looks like he made it in. Some other suggestions probably made it in too.

But I'd like to see the Seekers show up including guys like Bitstream, Hotlink, Acidwing/storm, Redwing, etc.

Takara Tomy has updated their official Transformers Kre-O website with episode 9 of their Kre-O web comic series. Enjoy the comic mirrored below!

So Tarn, Trypticon and Thrustinator? SWEET.

If Tarn comes out, I really would want to get one, just for the heck of it.

And yet again, Sideways appears as a single leg.

JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:And yet again, Sideways appears as a single leg.

I prefer the term, "charming".

Also Blackarachnia, Frenzy/Rumble, Thunderblast, and Beast Wars Rampage.

#Sideways# wrote:So Tarn, Trypticon and Thrustinator? SWEET.

That's Gigastorm, not Trypticon.

And Thrustinator's been in all of these since #4.

Energon Snow Cat!

Who's the green helicopter and the red jet?

Is that Toxitron and Octane in the first panel? And who's are the legs flying behind blackarachnia?

Godammit all of these better get made.

The green copter is Deathcobra, the 7th, fiction-only, member of the Liokaiser team. Hellbat had him killed, fearing his position to be obsolete as the team only needed 6 to fully combine. The red jet is Red Wing, the fourth Rainmaker in the BotCon 2013 comic.

And those are indeed Octane and Toxitron, in the second-last panel. Remember, manga is traditionally read right-to-left, top-to-bottom. Twisting my head around the flying legs tho.

I thought the yellow and purple one that we can only see the legs on was Swindle, but the printing does not match the actual Kreon of him.

Another comic.

It's official, TakaraTomy can no longer deny a Metrotitan is planned.

As per tradition:

Panel 1:
Optimus Prime
Sideswipe
Fire Convoy
Lio Convoy
Big Connoy
Saber
Fortress / Cerebros
T-AI (taking a bath with Fire Convoy peeking, that's a reference to a PVC statuette)
Seaspray
Blaster
Lumina Hoshi
Countdown
Six-Gun
Scamper
Circuit Breaker
Another female I don't recognise. Sabrblade?

Panel 2:
Bumblebee (G1, Prime and blue Energon styles. Looks like he likes dressing up!)
Soundwave (as boombox)
Bulldog

Panel 3:
Megatron
Sideways (finally a full body shot!) with Crosswise head
Energon Six Shot
G1 Six Shot
Vector Prime
Guiltaur
Thunderwing
Pink animal thing
Several Constructicons
Some Gold guy
Some Red guy

Panel 4:
Kremzeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!
Thrustinator
Sky-Byte (playing with a ball like a seal, in the same pool T-AI was in. He was also part of the statuette)

Panel 5:
Starscream
Metrotitan
Dinoking
Metrobomb
Battle Gaia
Knockout
Breakdown
Lockdown
Rumble/Frenzy? Can't tell

Panel 7:
Rattrap
Jazz

Panel 8:
Sideways' leg (Ok, that has to be a tradition now)
Bluestreak
Wheeljack

Panel 9: (note the negligee from the "See-through Power" comic)
Razorclaw
Scorponok

Final Panel:
Jhiaxus
Vortex

Phew!

Other girl is Misha

Pink dragon is BWII Galvatron

Countdown could also be Moonradar

Gold guy w/ goggles is Fulcrum

Red guy is Kaon of the DJD

Robot mode Constructicon w/ the clawed hands could be Buildmaster

Someone who might or might not be Silverbolt is next to Optimus and Vector Prime at the bottom of Panel 3

Armada Tidal Wave in cartoon colors is with Dinoking and Lockdown

And Saber is airing out the bedsheets he wet, as a reference to the Victory ending theme saying that Star Saber did NOT wet the bed as a child.

Helloooo Generations Metrotitan!! Yes please. Iwant i want i want.

Whats that? Did you say something about a Kreo?

In that last panel... Up there...! Is that...? IT IS! Kreon Sideways! If it is made, I will grab that SO FAST. OH MY GOOOOOOOOOSH

But anyway, anyone else see T-AI in the background as well? Ma-a-a-a-an, if they make these... Mmh!

EDIT: Also, Kremzeek. Because !

Sabrblade and I compiled the cameo list a couple of posts ago. And the comic is read in reverse in Japan (how many times have I said that already? )

So what's up with the seemingly inexplicable changes of Optimus Prime's and Megatron's torso designs from Generation One to Prime?

Mindmaster wrote:So what's up with the seemingly inexplicable changes of Optimus Prime's and Megatron's torso designs from Generation One to Prime?

Like Bumblebee, they both like dressing up it seems. Between panels even.

I'm pretty sure that's Bob in panel 9, and not Scorponok.

BOB!

Episode 11 of the Takara Tomy Kre-O web comic is up for you to enjoy. It is mirrored below for you viewing convenience.

Wahoo! The series ins't canceled! It just had a change of artist.

Let's see there's:

Optimus Prime
Bumblebee
Purple silhouette guy
A Constructicon
Jazz
Ratchet
Bulldog
Mindwipe
Weirdwolf
C-X
Alligatorcon
Cerebros (different guy from Fortress, apparently)
Ironhide
Mirage
Hound


Huh, not much fanwankery here besides C-X and the Alligatorcon.

I thought kreo was dead. You dont see them in stores anymore. The shelves they use to warm are now being warmed by constructobots. When will hasbro learn todays kids dont want to build crap ? They want the real figures not lego and erector sets.

This is TakaraTomy and Japan we're talking here. Not Hasbro. but I know you're going to ignore that for whatever reason anyway.

I missed that. But honestly Im surprised. Usually dumbed down TF toys are geared towards the "western market". Takara usually makes nothing but the good stuff. I wonder if they'll end up with constructobots as well ?

Actually, TakaraTomy releases just about anything Hasbro has after some tweaking. So yes, we can expect Construct-Bots over there and the "dumbed down" TF toys for the new movie. They have kids there too, you know?

Even robot heroes and rescue bots. I always assumed their kids stuff was kaybaya figures and arms microns in coin operated candy machines. In other words, stuff that adults like too. Just my guess from what i see on these front page stories...
