The Taiwanese Kre-O Transformers Facebook page has recently updated with official images of the Elite Optimus Prime set. This bagged set has an Optimus Prime Kreon at its core, and uses Kre-O blocks for the arms and legs much like the Galvatron in the Factory Battle set does.

Yup, I can see that too. With the SDCC white Magnus coming, I can see that Elite armor on Prime fit nicely on the SDCC Magnus. If we're lucky, Hasbro will modify that suit and give us the proper UM suit, shoulder launcher, UM face, chest plate, etc. If they don't, I can see 3P will designs one for the SDCC Magnus Kreo.

An Optimus Prime on stilts. Fantastic

He'd look pretty good walking in a parade dressed as Uncle Sam.

Pass. I'm glad I don't collect everything from Kre-o.

Those proportions dear lord.
Pat Lee must be pleased.

What the fuck.

bless you my friend. ^__^

Just a random thought, because the packaging looks very familiar to the Dinobot Ride TRU Build Day exclusive. Perhaps TRU will have another "Build Day" around the time of AoE's Home Video release and this will be part of it? THAT would be cool.

These official ones look kinda derpy… I'll stick with the upgrades from WuLongTi… I might have to paint them, but they look way better IMO.

His legs look like two upright vacuum cleaners.

I wasn't sure what "Elite Optimus Prime" was so I clicked on the thread.
Instead of hitting "back" because I don't care about Kre-o, I'm voicing my disinterest in a post that took much longer to write than had I just hit the "back" button and called it a day because Kre-o wasn't mentioned in the title.

While I do admit that at first I was intrigued, the proportions are a little off for me. That being said, if I happened to see it in the store, I would probably buy it, since I'm a sucker.

I could see this kinda build working pretty well for more "super robot" type characters, like Star Saber, Ultra Magnus, or Dai Atlas, hell maybe even a Prime inspired Unicron Avatar.
i wonder if there's a way to rebuild this into a truck Prime with Trailer…..

I want to like it, but it's just so out of proportion. The tiny torso just looks goofy.
WuLongTi
Thanks man, yeah I can't say I'm super impressed. I wonder if the ball joints from mixels would work w/ the Kreon joints. If so you could just harvest parts from there to upgrade your existing Kreons. Though I think my set looks more dynamic and better articulated even if the proportions are off from what most people prefer. And they work on all Kreons without having to swap out parts ^__^

People have been kitbashing this type of figure in the appreciation forums for a while now. Glad to see Hasbro catching up!
Although I think Chad Ghost might still be doing the best job at this kind of thing.
