While I have no intentions of building the actual Transformer out of the bricks, I am planning on building a base or playset for the Kreons to occupy.

Here's a question for a certain few out there...the collectors who adamantly do not buy any non-transforming Transformers. (ie Action Masters, PVCs, statues, busts, Attacktix, Robot Heroes, etc)

Do you (or would you) collect the Kreons? (and why)


That's awesome!!! Especially that Shackwave.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that RID was the first to repaint a mold but not change their name. Side Burn, Prowl and X-Brawn with their "supermode" repaint.

*ducks*

- I collect the Kreons cause they are super awesome cool and cute and I dig anything with some G1 flavor to it.

- As for the repaint thing, if you wanna be 100% accurate the first repaints without name changes can go as far back as running changes like Grimlock G1 to Grimlock G2, or within G2 itself with the Dinobots coming each in 3 colors. Or in G1, Bumblebee and Cliffjumper coming in yellow AND red........ anyhow I am rambling.

I didn't know you were not a collector of non-transforming TF merchandise.

I didn't include G2, like Universe 1.0, it was a repaint line. I always thought the G1 red Bumblebee and yellow Cliffjumper thing was an error rather than an attempt to sell more toys.

Hey Protoman, while I do agree with the insane number and stupid repaints now available, but what's your opinion of this DOTM repaint? I saw this yesterday at Zellers.
DOTM Megatron
It's not a black Optimus, but yet it can be considered a "Motormaster" or "Prime's Nemesis". At least it's better than the repaint of Titanium Rodimus hahaha.

Don't worry about the rambling, I consider it a feature of Canadian Slag.

I get it all. Animation cels, statues, hell yesterday I bought a collection of japanese decoys.

Also I dig repaints when they make the toy better or when it's a different character. But stuff like Tuner Mudflap or "Night Attack INSERT NAME HERE" in general is pointless.

Nice Episode boys,but there's something important I must point out:

It was not Brian Drummond who voiced Matrix and Graveheart,it was Paul Dobson.

Now,on to other matters:

It's true that people often forget that a voice ages overtime like everything else in the human body,so I did worry at points about certain Voice Actors returning because their voices gradually changed when reprising what they did nearly 30 years ago.

However,I did enjoy Judd Nelson's reprise of Rodimus for Animated (I actually like the rasp he had,I don't know why,but I do).Granted,it's absolutely a nice gesture that Producers,Voice Directors,etc. will bring some of the veterans back,but age does play a factor on how their instruments have changed.Some can be subtle (Ie. Corey Burton/Shockwave),some for the better (Ie.Peter Cullen/Prime) or dramatically (Ie.Judd Nelson/Rodimus)

I hope I misinterpreted,but if you guys say that Sentinel Prime is bland,shame on you :P

Is it traditional/customary in any TF Series to have some odd,even deforming animation gag (Beast Machines feet,Animated chins,etc.)

Still,nicely done guys.

i bought the kreos even tho i usually dont buy anything but deluxe and larger... because my aon likes both lego and transformers and it will give us something else to build... with 40% off being much much cheaoer than lego sets even at 30% off i consider it a steal...

i'm also considering getting the halo pelican drop ship from megablock for some extra peices from costco at 39.99
