The Energon Pub

Surprise! It's a set of nothing but Optimus Primes!

A group of renegades! Hmmm, The evil Gobots were also Renegades, that would be awesome! Guardians of Axiam, Guardians.... Good Gobots!

What a sec. Axiom Nexus is essentially a TF version of Xandar. Five wanted renegades banding together to save it from a cosmic threat? This really IS a TF version of the GotG movie.

Aaaaaaaand back to hating the story.

I wasn't being full serious.

they almost sound like they could be combaticons: Onlsaught- the boss
Brawl- the muscle
Swindle- the thief
Blastoff- the bounty hunter
Vortex- the loose cannon
but pretty sure they are not doing it that way

I know you weren't, it's just really really amazingly dumb, you're probably right, the club's trying to make Guardians of the Galaxy with transformers; and that doesn't sit right. It's not like I think the movie's bad mind you, just over-saturated; and just the idea of the club doing that is almost face palm inducing in how creatively bankrupt it is. That of course provided that it is in fact what the club is doing with botcon 2015's story. Though it probably is.

Yeah, that would just be a waste since we just got Combaticon toys not long ago, a Combaticon TCC story in 2010-2011, and with Axiom Nexus, character possibilities are near-limitless.

It was just a suggestion. No need to be rude.

more like a thought
anyway hes always rude i just tend to ignore it now

Bounty hunter... there's only 2 I can think of off the top of my head and that's Lockdown and Death's Head. I don't think they can do Death's Head but he would definitely be interesting.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a character who was previously a bounty hunter.

The movie lines do have some good characters (although terribly mistreated) as well as good toys that can be redecoed.

Wasn't trying to be. Was meant to be neutral.

Apologies for the misunderstanding.

Don't forget Devcon for the bounty hunters, but they just used him last year. If they're really doing Guardians of the Galaxy then Lockdown would be better used to fill the role of the Collector.

I really want Gamora to be the new or animated Arcee in Paradron Medic colors as the theif. I love the ideas of Grimlock as groot for the Muscle and Packrat as Rocket for the bounty hunter. I feel like Star Lord kinda has to be Hot Rod as the boss. That leaves Drax, the loose canon, and I'm thinking Prime Bulkhead would be a nice fit.

I suppose we'll need a Ronan and Thanos, too. I'll say Straxus/Darkmount for Ronan and Thanos could be either Prime or Fall of Cybertron Megatron.

I think we might be taking the GotG references/comparisons/jokes a bit too far.

Maybe, but it's really, really, hard not to make them.

True. I just know that Packrat's inclusion would only increase the GotG comparisons, since he'd be the set's Rocket.

Axer and Banzai-tron were both bounty hunters as was Doubledealer. I'd love Energon Dive bomb as Banzai-tron.

I'd love Repugnus to be the loose cannon. I loved his MTMTE profile. I'd like either the Energon Landmine mold or movie Dirt Boss.

When was Doubledealer a bounty hunter? Most other times he's a mercenary.

I don't think there's anything wrong with getting a set similar to Guardians of the Galaxy. Yeah, it might show a lack of creativity, but in and of itself it wouldn't be a bad set, as long as the characters and molds are selected right.

Curious about what BotCon's Cybertron Most Wanted set theme is actually all about? Wondering just how much Guardians of the Galaxy has influenced every piece of scifi fanfiction out there? Read on below to find another tweet with added information about it all, and a way to preview the accompanying 2015 comic!

In the city of Axiom Nexus, in a Universe where Autobots and Decepticons from across the Multiverse co-exist peacefully, a group of renegades operate off the grid, using deception, schemingand a hint of thievery to both survive and to further their own ambitions. However after the Transtech, the guardians of Axiom Nexus, are unable to stop an extra-dimensional threat, these outlaws will soon find themselves as Cybertron's last hope of survival!

Isn't that what it already says? Something tells me FunPub goofed and tweeted the wrong image earlier, probably wasn't supposed to contain the backstory

Sounds interesting, seeing how they have five labels

The Thief
The Muscle
The Loose Cannon
The Bounty Hunter
The Boss


I wonder if it would be a repaint/remold of the upcoming Combiner War figures. Especially with the line about them being Cybertron's only hope. Combining into one big bot could stack the odds plenty in your favor. Any way just some wishful thinking.

Also it looks like Botcon is borrowing from Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy movie if you look at the titles given

The Thief (Gamora)
The Muscle (Drax the Destroyer)
The Loose Cannon (Groot)
The Bounty Hunger (Rocket)
The Boss (Star Lord)

Could still be the theorized/wishlisted G2 repaint of the new stunticons.
