KRE-O Transformers Review: Micro-Changers Spinister
You’d think a Transformer named Spinister would be connected to a spider somehow. Instead, he’s just a propeller enthusiast with a terrifyingly large gun. Read the rest of this entry »
KRE-O Transformers Review: Micro-Changers Crankstart
Crankstart is your generic Transformer. So generic in fact, that Wikipedia only mentions him by name in passing and his TF Wiki article is equally as sparse. He’s a Decepticon who thought he could avoid battle by sticking to off-road missions. Read the rest of this entry »
KRE-O Transformers Review: Micro-Changers Sunstorm
Starscream may be the best gravy train for Hasbro. Here’s a character that they can paint over and over again and get away with calling them different characters.

KRE-O Transformers Review: Micro-Changers Galvatron

While the assortment minifigures are excellent, the fact that you could only get them with subpar LEGO knock-off sets really hurt the line. It wasn’t until I found most of the series on clearance that I finally picked up most of the figures. Read the rest of this entry »
