Purity: A6949 Transformers Dinobot Charge Review

Here's another Kre-O Transformers set from my stash.

Box.  MSRP is $9.99 which gives us a $0.15 Price per Piece.


Instructions.








Kreons.  The helmet decoration for the one on the left could make an interesting greeble, as could the magnet piece on the right.



Parts.  Purple and Orange always make for exciting color choices.  The Studded Mace head in the lower left is pretty neat too.  And we finally see a Kre-O Bar Clip!  It's also interesting seeing the Kre-O take on Technic bits.




Build.  Skinny Bot.  Yeah, he's thin but what do you expect from a set
that's a jumped up polybag?  2Rh/2Rd/1B/2W possible starting stats.

The Questions:
Can you build something -- a frame, station, or starship -- right away?  
Yes.  (+5)
Is it below, at, or above the golden ratio?  Above.  (-10) 
(The Golden Ratio is $0.10 per part.)
If you can't build a frame right away, or choose not to, does it have parts you should be able to put into use right away?  Yes.  (+5)
Does it have more than a handful of immediately useful parts?  Yes.  (+5)
Score: +5 (B+).  I wasn't sure I was going to able to pull a build out of this one.
