The Energon Pub

Buying alot of armada stuff and energon. Damn impulse buys.

Dumb.

WHat figure is this? Can some one post a pic?

And my biggest regret as a collector is not keeping track of my G2 Snarl, Grimlock, and Starscream. I have a feeling that they found there way in a box of old crap figures that my mother threw out. She swears that there were no Transformers in that box but i cant find them. Thanks for not letting me look in the frakin box mother. Oh and drawing on my G1 Nosecone with permanet marker, playing with my pretender jazz and starscream in the bath and outside in the mud as a kid. All there paint is gone. And a few micromasters sufferd the same fate.

I have all these boxed toys with rectangular empty spaces on the back. OHHHH!!! It came to me. Not being able to convince my Mom to buy me Fortress Maximus! Did I ever throw a tantrum. I remember it so well. I got $50 in Geoffrey cash at Toy's R Us for my Bday from my muuuuch older brother. Maxi was $90. Mom wouldn't fork over the other $40. After the smackdown I ended up getting Marios' Cement Factory and a couple Technobots.

I feel you dude. My parents wouldn't budge either for FORTRESS MAXIMUS. Till this day I still hold a grudge against my parents.

any of you guys even thinking of Optimash Prime....

a word to the wise... don't act on it or
you'll end up on this thread...

I think I'm gonna be getting Optimash. I have Darth Tater and Spudtrooper, so Optimash will fit right in.

It can be seen in this auction at ebay.

I saw it for $13. I love dragons and TFs, so this would have been a natural purchase. Unfortunately, it disappeared really quick at that price.

My biggest regret is Getting rid of my Beast Wars toys, and losing some parts when I was young.

Are these the Headmaster/Targetmaster figures or something completely different? I'm drawing a blank.

Yes they are the Headmasters/Targetmasters/Powermasters of the G1 line.

I don't really have any regrets because I see myself in this for the long haul and I will eventually get the figures that I want.

I passed on the vector Prime/Starscream two-pack when i saw it. I wasn't interested in VP at the time, and all things considered I AM happy that I picked up Alternators Skids instead. Still, I'd like to have that Starscream mould without resorting to the Supreme size version.

If that's the worst I can think of, I suppose I haven't done too badly since returning to the hobby with Armada.

trashing my G1 Op and BW figures when i was a kid

I only saw that figure once at planet comics. He was $40. When i finally got the money he was gone.

with energon & armada series,
don't feel too bad man,

I think there were some REAL gems in there.

for example I think Tidal Wave is freaking
awesome! better than Cybertron Metroplex anyday!

I have to agree with Armada Tidal Wave, he was a really cool character.

out of the bigger TF Tidal Wave maybe one of the best
toys ever.

he's not too big to the point where he is super expensive
and space taking.

and he isn't super hard to find either.

if you include convenience & price, overall I think
Tidal Wave > Unicron, Metroplex, Scorponok,

Hes better than scorponok but not Unicron. Unicron was easy to find and was cheap when on clearance. I saw him once for $20. Hell walmart might still have him. And Armada wasnt that bad. Yeah there were some bad figures and the plastic quality wasnt great but i liked most of the line. Megatron was cool. Thrust was cool. Sideways was frakin sweet. Most of the line was good, the only thing that sucked was the mini-con crap. How can a robot not know he has a giant gun on him?

I regret
-Buying Minicon sets (Bah, Fake Transformers)
-Buying Spychangers (Almost all of them are indentical)
-Buying Energon Insecticon (BAH!)
-Buying Armada Jetfire (YECK!)
-Buying Armada Sideways (Sideways should have been blue and it should have knee articulation)
-Buying a limb of RID Ruination and I never bought the rest
-Buying a WST Bumblebee
-Buying Myclone Rodimus Prime

Why are Minicons "fake transformers?"
