The Energon Pub

Thanks guys! Them Seacons are so much fun

Happy New Year all! I hope you also had a Merry Christmas.

Bumblebee is about to be squashed by a dinosaur there if he's not careful!

Thanks so much, Zero! I also scored a group that’s probably going to get an update soon....the Maximal High Council! It was fun going through the different transformations and combining them — I think they will remain combined

MAGNABOSS!!!!!

yeah, D-Max! We had Magnaboss growing up, but he's fairly incomplete. A friend of mine was set to sell stuff on eBay, but gave me first pick -- I had to have his complete Magnaboss! I won't be surprised if they update Magnaboss, but we shall see if he's like a Takara Tomy Mall exclusive, and/or boxed set. I love the original just fine though!

I love magnaboss, when I first started collecting again as an adult, he was among the first I tracked down as I really wanted him as a kid (but my parents said that because I was 10 going on 11, I was too old for tfs). Sadly however, I had to part ways with him a couple of years ago as Silverbolt succumbed to gps and crumbled.

Loved the idea behind him so much I made alternate characters up to fit in with the fanfiction idea I had. Athena, Ares and Artemis.

I am loving him too, Zero! I had no idea he had a GPS thing, and my copy is in really good shape, but it's certainly in the back of my mind to be as careful as possible in clicking and pushing parts together and expecting them to stay connected/unbroken.

Silverbolt/Skywarp is very interesting! I would like to think of him as neither of the known G1 characters with those same names -- I've taken to calling him Skybolt

Good name all I can say is just be gentle when Transforming him

Just a few more of Magnaboss

I will get that guy someday

You need to D-Max, I want to get him again as well (and l wrap silverbolt in bubble wrap so he never breaks again..)

yeah, D-Max & Zero! I am loving having Magnaboss in my personal collection -- my younger brother, the one who actually watched Beast Wars back in the day, has them, but incomplete nowadays. I got mine for fairly cheap from a friend when he gave me first-pick of his stuff set for sale. He was easily the gem of the ones I selected (including Generations Jhiaxus, TF Cybertron Scrapmetal, Real Gear Zoom-Out & Booster X10, and Classics Thrust!).I'm thinking Kingdom will bring us an update to Magnaboss, though! Definitely leveraging Airrazor as Skybolt (!) -- Santon could share a mold with Rhinox (assuming he's coming), and they could retool Cheetor for Lio Junior! But we shall see -- I am only guessing off of the promo art we've seen that included Polar Claw, etc. What do you think?

I was weak in my Kingdom hunts and totally impulse-bought Rattrap — he was just too cute lolThe more and more I see of MP51, Great Aunt Arcee....the more I kinda want her. I actually chose the God Neptune crew over ordering her or Titan Scorponok (had to prioritize!).

I'm picking up Rattrap when I can, I need him, goes with the other rat themed items I've accumulated since writing about a talking rat

You totally do, Zero!!

That rat smoulders for the camera

Rattrap is a very photogenic li’l rat!

And I re-assembled the Tripredacus Council...

Another figure I long to get some day!

Same!

I did it. I finally got a Kingdom deluxe figure!
I also got another first in the collection....!

BA is looking fine in those pictures Bod!

Nice! Both of those look great in your pics!

Thanks Zero and D-Max! I prefer Blackarachnia as a Maximal, but I love her as a ‘Con! And the original look is so iconic.

Ultimate X-Spanse is so much fun! I know he’s spendy and almost looks like a fan-made figure, but I love his articulation, colors and combination of powers. He even got me to impulse-buy a Marvel Legends figure (but this also has to do with the fact that new Transformers figures are very few and far between these days)....

Loving the photos Bod! See you even brought out the old Hulk crossovers figure to play:lol:
