Kre-O Transformers 30667 Decepticons Starscream

 From Wikipedia :

Formerly a scientist, Starscream is a treacherous, high-ranking Decepticon who turns into a jet and is known to often challenge his leader Megatron for leadership of the Decepticons.

Starscream was part of Kre-O's first waves of constructing blocks Transformers. The artwork on the box shows a stumpy looking Starscream. Aerodynamically slender form is not present at all. Nevertheless, it is one of the main characters and since I've decided to dedicate a shelf space to my growing Kre-O Transformers collection, Starscream is a must. And since it is made up of Lego-esque building blocks, customizing is always a possibility.
Bought my first Starscream (yes, I went on to buy 2 more during clearance) at discounted price and just managed to build it.

 Finally added Autobots Prowl to my Kre-O Transformers collection. Not sure why this one isn't one of the many Kre-O Transformers set on clearance or offer price. Paid the original MSRP of $39.9 for it. Was holding out for the longest time but Hasbro Singapore wins the battle. The set has only 174 pcs and it cost the same as what I've paid for Sentinel Prime which has 386 pcs. Well, you win some, you lose some. On to more pictures.

Kre-O Transformers 30662, Autobots Ratchet

 Kre-O's stockings are pretty irregular. At one store, there are mountains of Ratchets on clearance. At another, there are none at all. Have been looking around for a Kre-O Ratchet for awhile and finally gotten it at a very attractive price of $19.9 at OG Orchard Point. At 187pcs, it is a medium sized bot and I thought it could just be Wheeljack's or Knock Out size but I was wrong. It stood almost as tall as Sideswipe.

 Sideswipe has a very attractive packaging artwork showing it in a running stance. And this Autobot has a special place in my heart as I was smitten with it's Binaltech version I saw at a shop's display that trigger my collection of Binaltech Transformers toys.
I hold off buying this Kre-O version for 2 specific reasons.
1 - MSRP at S$49.9 seems a bit high for a 220 pcs Lego knock offs.
2 - It has a funky calf to feet design.
Finally won an open bid at eBay from a UK seller for £5.6 + £6.49 shipment which after paying via paypal's exorbitant exchange rates, I paid approximately S$25 for the set. Not too bad for a price you can only get Mirage or Jazz with.

Kre-O Transformers 38771 Street Showdown, Decepticons Knock Out

 Decepticons Knock Out came together with Wheeljack as a twin pack. Part of the 2nd Transformers series released by Kre-O. Knock Out has a very nice headsculpt but as with the other Kre-O Transformers, the head part was made from vinyl / rubbery type material and it compromises the details a little. And it wasn't help by Hasbro's one dimensional painting apps on the heads.

And the fever continues... not the medical ones but the hype for Kre-O constructing blocks Transformers. Got this set that also includes a Decepticons Knock Out which I'll probably be reviewing in the next upcoming blog post. But the good guys (Autobots) from the set gets a showtime first.

Kre-O Transformers 36959 Rotor Rage, Decepticons Vortex

Not too well versed in Transformers universe and I only knew the main characters (robots) names. Here is one that is not, I guess it's name is "Vortex" and the set is named Rotor Rage. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
The second "proper size" Kre-O Transformer I built which was bought together with Bumblebee in the same day. And Vortex is a Decepticons, the bad guys faction. I love it's candy colored scheme.
