Kre-O was released in stores in Fall 2011, although Hasbro started shipping out the first ''Transformers'' sets in early June 2011. The creators of the toy franchise got the name "Kre-O" from the Latin word "creo", which means "I create". Kre-O toy feature highly articulated humanoid figures called Kreons. Kre-O blocks are compatible with Lego bricks,〔 hence also compatible with Mega Bloks and other building block brands. ==Toy lines== Kre-O ''Transformers'' is the first line of the Kre-O series. They were first shown at the New York Toy Fair 2011. Transformers Kre-O figures include homages to their live action film, Timelines, Transformers: Prime and Beast Hunters sub-lines. Kre-O ''Battleship'' is the second overall line of Kre-O sets, based on the 2012 film, itself based on the original board (earlier, pen-and-pencil) game. Kre-O ''G.I. Joe'' was released as the third Kre-O line in February 2013 as a Toys "R" Us exclusive.
