TFW2005.com board member Destro has posted a review and a couple of images on the TFW2005 message boards regarding the Kre-O Starscream set. The good news is that Destro reports that the quality of the parts is high and that it has a similar feel to lego, the bad news is that, as our images from Botcon highlight, whilst the vehicle modes look pretty cool, the robot mode for some of the figures is pretty poor, as is the case with Starscream. The mini Kreon figures do look pretty cool though and will probably be the main reason most people pick up the sets.
You can read the review here.

Toycollectors.com.au have posted the first image of the Hasbro release of Masterpiece Rodimus Prime. The
toy comes packaged in robot mode, is recoloured and comes with an exclusive Targetmaster figure. The trailer for the toy is not shown, which is interesting considering that he his marked up as Rodimus Prime and not Hot Rod. The image also confirms what was long expected, that the toy will be a Toys R Us exclusive.
