The Energon Pub

[no-one]

Last week was my first time taking pictures of Transformers in public. I was nervous at first, but was surprised how few people paid me any mind. At worst; I got a glance, a shrug and then ignored.

AB looks to be having fun. I guess that's one of the benefits of being the "extra" member of a combiner team. He looks like such a tourist with his sunglasses on in all the pictures.

People do much worse things in public than take pictures of their action figures.

To be fair, he tells me what to do most of the time..



( I got several smiles, nods and people taking photos of me taking photos today, it was a great experience! )

Are your Combiner Wars options suffering from a lack of mold? Drink Prima-John Ultra! It does a bot good!

Love the traveling Alpha Bravo photos!

Mine seems to be mostly Philosophical Alpha Bravo...




Which led to a meeting of the minds...

@Va'al: that AB is the luckiest TF in the world.

Interesting! How...did you do this?



Ok, since we're on a Devastator kick... I had been meaning to take these guys down for pictures. So fun comparison time!

The elbows, they're beautiful.

Makes me want to buy a second Herc to display individually...

I had forgotten how Cybertron-like they were. There is a definite difference in posability compared to more recent toys, but all the same, I feel like they still look great. The big, blocky forms work and frankly, it's nice not to have a bunch of gaping holes in arms and legs.

Swerve invited AB to ride along with us today, but the weather has been pretty bad.

Poor guys have been trapped in the van all day. They popped up to the dash just to stare at the rain.

We walked a fair bit in between conferencing today. And by we, I mean my ego and I.


Alpha Bravo was just backpack driving.


Though he was pretty speechless when we got there.



And of course, the bells.

Microman and MPs are really good for one another.

Well seeing as you're in France, Va'al, there's one more thing you must do. Get Alpha Bravo on the cover of Vogue. Strike a pose, there's nothing to it.

[Va'al]

...challenge accepted.

@Counterpunch: wonderful pics, as usual.
I adore Hercules elements, but I don't like Not-Bonecrusher...
What do you think about it?

He could be better in regards to color, especially on his chest.

The problem with him is that unlike the others, his coloring is the most off, lacking the green legs and chest.

TFC did black treads on him and Scavenger and I don't take issue with that. There was some controversy on his chest and whether or not the final production was supposed to be changed. It didn't pan out. I think TFC always does something a bit off with their colors just to avoid actually cloning Hasbro designs entirely. I think it's their conceit.

Is he the weakest of the six? Yeah. But in a way, he always was. I kind of accept that like the guys who like MT Giant accept that their Long Haul is crap. Nothing is perfect, ya know?

Except MT Computron

...and maybe Aubrey Plaza

Today was seriously serious day, no touristing.
