Takara Tomy Kre-O Web Comic Episode 5

Deathsaurus and Overlord/Gigatron as kreos? Awesome!

Optimus on the toilet? OK.

See, this is how you do kid friendly and simple. But shockingly, it can still appeal to older fans.

But what do I know, I don't have all the business degrees under my belt that good 'ol hasbro execs do. Silly me.

This also makes me want to collect Kre-o. These comics are awesome

Megatron
Some red dude
Straxus
Overlord
Deszaras
Shockwave
Optimus Prime
Blitzwing
Thrust
Soundwave
Shrapnel/Sharpshot
Metroplex
Octane?
Some light purple dude
Thrustinator
Doubleface
Astrotrain
Knock Out
Vortex
Bumblebee
Jazz

Panel 1:
Megatron
Straxus
Overlord (does he have Mega's lips?)
Deszaras (Yes, I'm keeping the original name on this one)
Shockwave
"some red dude with Hound's helmet"

Panel 2:
Optimus Prime
Thrust
Soundwave
Shrapnel/Sharpshot
Vortex (non-Bruticus)
Blitzwing

Last Panel:
Doubleface/Sideways (leg only again)
Thrustinator
Knockout
Astrotrain (TFCC)

Deathsaurus, Overlord, and Straxus? Neato!

Amazing homage to the original animated movie is amazing!

Straxus uses Bumblebee's helmet, Deszaras uses Sentinel Prime's, and Overlord uses... Rodimus's?

Also, Shrapnel/Sharpshot uses Mirage's.

I wonder why only Sideway's leg has appeared?

JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Overlord (does he have Mega's lips?)

I kinda assumed the lips came from Overlord's IDW design, even though the chest design isn't.
Seeing Overlord makes me think we need a helmet with "ears"/pipes/antennae.

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.

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.

Other girl is Misha

Pink dragon is BWII Galvatron

Countdown could also be Moonradar

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.

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!

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?
