MTV Geek EXCLUSIVE Images: Transformers Kre-O Optimus Prime, Bumblee, and Ratchet

Today, we here at MTV Geek! are bringing you some exclusive Transformers toy images unlike any we’ve had before! Below is a sneak peek at Hasbro’s upcoming Basic Optimus Prime, Basic Bumblebee, and Ratchet Kre-O sets. Kre-O is Hasbro’s foray into the building toy market and will surely score them some of Lego’s sweet, brick-laden cash and what better way to do that than with the Transformers? They seem to be a natural fit thanks to their transforming qualities, and the finished products in both robot and vehicle modes look pretty damn good if we say so ourselves… and we do!

First up is Optimus Prime. This is from the smaller (and easier on the wallet) Basic assortment. The Autobot leader is made up of around 65 bricks and pieces; and like the larger sets, can be set up in either vehicle or robot mode. There's an obvious G1 influence with Optimus' head, and the alt mode has a very Transformers Animated shape, and this mix ofe versions looks to be appearing throughout he releases. Even for a basic figure, it looks like Optimus has decent articulation with a ball-socket head, hinged shoulders, hinged elbows, and ball-socket hips and ankles.If you're not sure that Kre-O is your thing and want to test it out, then this set will be right up your alley.

Next we have everybody's favorite robot sidekick -- Bumblebee! Thanks to the films, this guy has had a myriad of versions clogging the action figure aisle. This Kre-O set is, like Optimus, from the Basic assortment and is smaller in both investment and stature. He looks to have the same articulation as the basic Optimus Prime and shares the same G1 influence in his head design. The Basic Bumblebee is comprised over over 70 pieces and will retail for around 7 dollars.

This is Ratchet and he is the last of our MTV Geek! exclusive pics for today. This ambulance should be familiar to fans of the Autobot's resident medic and we're the first to bring it to you! The back doors of the ambulance open to fit a KREON figure, while another mini-fig can be seated behind the wheel.A third KREON figure is included, and we're guessing it fits on the included stretcher. There are also a fire extinguisher and axe included with ratchet, so this guy can help people no what the danger may be. Ratchet clocks in at 200 pieces and will cost around 20 dollars.
