The Energon Pub

Sorry it’s been so long since posting! I still come back to Seibertron everyday, either to check the news, see where there may be sightings for new figures or simply to check out galleries. This is still my favorite site on the internet for TFs.

I recently scored Safeguard. I never watched Animated, but have a very small handful of them — he is one I really wanted! He fits in well with my collection, and I am very happy to have him.

I also hunted down a G1 gestalt I always wanted — RUINATION!!As cool as the update is, I never found him. But I saw this for a reasonable price and nostalgia called.

Hope everyone is enjoying Legacy Evolution! I still haven’t found a darn Tarn….but I guess I will always have my MMCs.

Fantastic pictures Bod! Glad you found Safeguard, he's one the few I regret giving away back in the day, such a unique combination method (for transformers that is) and the flaws never seemed to bother me as much as others since he had so much charm.

Thanks Zero! It’s the charm of him that wins me over too — I enjoy the fun aesthetic of the Animated figures, for sure, but as always am trying to control myself from going into another line I need to collect haha. I am still hunting for Animated Blitzwing though!

There's a lot of gems in the animated line, like Samurai Prowl, Leader Class Megatron, both Bulkheads, Lugnut...yeah, it's a treasure chest positioned over a bottomless pit

Glad to see you around again Bod!

Safeguard is such a fun figure, completely unique in Transformers too. I love that toy.

I just sold my MMC Tarn after getting the Legacy one. Glad we got the Legacy one for sure

Like a couple have mentioned already, glad to see you back on here. As always your photos look amazing, love it.

Thanks for the support guys! I went hunting (for Tarn lol) yesterday and impulse-bought Scraphook! I love the idea, his look and dat alt mode. A perfect Junkion! I really want Axlegrease, of course. I hope she isn’t hard to hunt down — but this is my first time seeing Scraphook in Oregon.

I have been having more fun with the Safeguard twins! I was thinking about all my favorite beat-em-ups for this one! And SG Sari would make a sweet boss fight.

Did any of you get Holiday Prime? I had zero plans, but that alt and headsculpt called to me!

Holiday prime and GT Fort Max go great with those Torchbearers! I still need the GT 4

That's a very festive display there

If its any consolation, I have never seen Tarn let alone Scraphook in a store. Although i purchased Tarn from Hasbro Pulse a while back.

Have to jump on the band wagon and say that is a very festive looking group of bots. Definitely says “Happy Holidays”.

Thanks guys! Once Holiday Prime was freed from his packaging, I had to round up a crew!
I love those GTR Transformers! I never even knew they existed until last year, so had to go and hunt Max and Saber down. Originally, I wanted Megatron, but found Max for cheap and bought him instead. I might still get Megz eventually, but of the two I own, Max is my favorite.
This pic of the Twins was inspired by Capcom’s SideArms.

Love the images! Especially the capcom homage. Glad to see you're finding a fun use for the botbots!

Thanks Zero! The BotBots definitely filled a niche I had no idea existed lol

Have I mentioned I love taking photos of MP Arcee?

Nice pics as always! I still don't fully understand the decision to make the collar piece so big

Agreed — I remember everyone thinking she was mis-transformed. That wasn’t the case, but I have gotten used to it. Ultimately, I was more upset with one of her faces having some paint QC issues!

I hadn’t picked up any Rise of the Beasts figures, but finally picked up one…I am amazed by the paint apps on her face and love having a Legends-scale Arcee!

A good one to get

Another MOST WANTED obtained!!I never thought I’d get a chance to bring a Nightmare Unicron home, but I was happily mistaken. More pics to come!

Thats bad ass looking for sure!

Awesome grab my friend!

Thanks guys! I saw Pincer-Cron recently and passed on him, but Nightmare? Such a bad ass silhouette. I had to have him in black! I really did go from zero repaints in black to much more than a handful lol

And wow, was he worth hunting!!

LOOK OUT!! Mountain!?

Looks like you're having fun with him!

You bet I am, Zero!! He’s not the tallest, but as a pure Nightmare, this Unicron is fun-sized

That first picture is absolutely stunning!
