The Energon Pub

Gang, if I could recommend one toy from this line, it would be Mixmaster.

He's got some kibble, but for the most part, it can be properly tucked away somewhere or pinned down to his arms.

The detailing and sculpt are just outstanding. He looks like a walking chemical factory, especially with the four exhaust pipes around his head. You can talk about Animated toys representing the characterization of the individual bots, well, this figure does it too, but it just screams evil scientist with its efforts.

The original colors are definitely the way to go. All the online photos of him just don't do the figure justice. That horrid tan color we saw in the pictures is secondary and the gray and red are much more prominent.

The G1 deco looks good, but I'm not sure theres a need for it.

Now I'm kinda sorry I already ordered the movie version. Oh well, if I like the mold as much as I think I will, I'll end up having both versions. They'll look sweet side by side.

Well, the Constructicons are kind of a generic troop in the movie and there are multitudes of them, so having more than one of any of the molds isn't going to be a crime.

Why do I envision someone buying like 10 Devastators for army building?

I'm still waiting for the supreme Devastator in G1 colors or at least to see a pic of it. If it's FAIL enough in purple and green, I'll settle for the multicolored one.

Must EVERYTHING be a slavish G1 homage? This colour scheme is just ugly, and always has been. Not only that, but it clashes with the aesthetic of the Movie's universe, and it shows.

If I were to redeco this mould, I personally chosen Cybertron Quickmix's colour layout over the same beaten dead horse.

Lets just go ahead and say if ALL the constructicons get the G1 treatment, I will be buying them. Just like I passed on Energon Devastator but got the Universe G1 Deco.

Yes, Im a dork.

Seconded. The G1 paint job makes up for the stupidly lanky arms in my opinion.

Since the 2007 movie I had decided not to buy any movie toy and just continue my Classics/Universe/Henkei collection.But.....when my favorite Constructicons-Devastator apeeared in the movie-verse I felt that I had to change my decision...
And then I saw this G1 repaint(which I hope it will be followed by others).....
I just can't resist to these figures,both movie and G1 coloured....
