The Energon Pub

I've had an old He-Man spaceship sitting around my house since I was like eight. I usually used it to display transformers on, since it so sci-fi spaceship-y.

Then one day I looked at it and said, "You know what? I could repaint this thing, and it would look awesome..."

And so, I did.

Here is the Ark!

I was going for more of an "American cheese" orange, and less of a "nuclear holocaust in your soul" orange, but "nuclear holocaust" was the only shade of orange spraypaint I could find at the store that day.

Here it's in its most useful "city/playset thing" mode, though its pieces can be put together countless different ways.

Here is the Ark stuck in the side of Mount St. Cardboard.
(Cue G1 cartoon music)
"Autobots! Transform and roll out"

"C'mon you big bozo, get in the shuttle."

"When we slip past their early warning system in their own shuttle, the Autobots will be vanquished forever!"
"NOOOOO!!!"
"Such heroic nonsense..."

"Well, that's just Prime..."

"Prepare for emergency separation!"
"That's too dangerous!"
"What choice do we have?"

"Galvatron, Aren't we supposed to be on board the ship in this scene?"
"Silence, fool! You don't get speaking parts until the third season!"

"Oh, this? Well, I found this piece of common Earth technology that happens to bear your enemies' insignia proudly on front, in the middle of the wasteland right outside your base where no one ever goes, so I figured someone must have been there, and lost it. Clearly, the most logical thing to do was bring it inside the base, leave it in some obscure corner, and not tell anyone about it."

"Tell me, doc. What's wrong with me?"
"Well, I don't know how to tell you this, but you've got GPS. You've got two cycles to live."
"GPS?! But I don't even HAVE gold plastic parts!"
"Oops, that's the medical report for Generation Two Slingshot. You just have indigestion."

"Autobots, I'm afraid Megatron has infected the core of Cybertron with Dark Energon. While Cybertron repairs itself, we must find a new home among the stars."
"Um, Optimus, if we leave Cybertron, what's gonna stop Megatron from just re-infecting the core, and re-conquering Cybertron?"
"...Um..."
"Optimus?"
"Shut up, I'm new to this whole 'leader' thing."

"Bet you my Master Sword against your Matrix of Leadership that I can get to the planet of Junk first."
"Dude, you're on!"
