This could be seen as such a coincidence, seeing the fact that the KRE-O toyline is considered a rip-off of LEGO. Robots in Disguise This series is based heavily on "vehicle" play, with non-transforming rigs loosely based on their pilots' alternate modes, though each one does have some sort of "action feature". The waist connection now uses a "peg-in-post" method, with a hollow stud-width post on the waist, and a thin post inside the torso that slides inside. This makes the joined parts much stronger, seemingly in response to the extra weight of the larger Battle Changer builds (see below), but also means you can mount accessories on the waist-post, which can probably be useful in some manner.

This series was even more limited in its US distribution, seemingly available only at Toys"R"Us and Meijer, though some sets eventually filtered out into discount stores.All of these changes make the new-style Kreons almost totally incompatible with the prior four years' Kreon parts. You can swap heads freely, you can put a new lower body onto an older-style Kreon's torso, but not the other way around, and that's about it as far as cross-compatibility goes. On the other hand, the relative scarcity of 2015 Kre-O product, especially in the US, means this might not be an issue for most fans in the first place. A BotCon 2015 six-figure set with a rough theme of "human antagonists", be they actual humans or human-built machines. Released in 2012 in Taiwan in conjunction with a toy fair. The USB hub is almost 4 times larger than normal Kreons, while the other 5 figures are almost 2 times larger.

Optimus Prime had to defend Phoenix from a horde of rampaging Zombie Cons. Prime VS The Zombie Cons Each leg has an accessory-post hole on the outer face, largely for use in adding wheel pieces as decoration; later Star Trek sets would use this peg to "holster" phasers and other accessories that have a short peg on the side. The holes for the feet also have a thinner "trench" deeper inside that is accessory-post width. Most of these sets were also made available in Japan as part of the initial Kre-O roll-out by TakaraTomy. Where the prior torso was designed to attach at the bottom to a normal stud in the center, with notches in the sides to allow for the studs to either side, the new torso now sits centered on two studs, just like LEGO figures have since forever. ( Much more useful for "building up" Kreons.) Kreons are miniature figures roughly 1¾ inches tall. They follow the nominal parts list of the industry standard, the LEGO Minifigure: head, torso, left & right arms, hands, waist, left & right legs. The head has a single hollowed top-stud to add a helmet/hat/hairpiece to. However, the Kreons feature some very key design differences from the Minifigure, many of which really come into play with the Micro-Changer series (see below).

Agar, Chris (5 October 2016). "Hasbro Reveals New Trolls Playsets". Screen Rant . Retrieved 30 July 2017. This set, like the one above, was only available in the US through closeout chains like Ross and TJ Maxx in 2015.

Kreon Hound was among the upcoming items revealed at BotCon 2011, but the Kreon shown was ultimately never released. (Bagged samples of the original have since made their way to the secondary market.) Hound would not properly appear in Kreon form until midway through 2014 as a Custom Kreon with different deco. Amusingly, the original Hound helmet has become one of the most ubiquitous among the Kreons thanks to its very generic styling.Collections 1 through 3 have been re-made with the 2015-style Kreon bodies and re-released through Dollar General and Walgreens stores in the US. Nigh-infinite configuration possibilities, and somehow a WORSE base mode than pretty much every other Optimus's trailer-bases. Wow.
