The Energon Pub

Didn't they say that they were going to have something better than last years Scorponok? Right now it sure doesn't look like it.

The Boss - 62811-484 could refer to June 28, 2011, which was the premier date for Revenge of the Fallen

oops, had two wikis open and got'm mixed up.

Still want the Blue and grey Springer repaint to be Blue Bacchus. make it happen Jelze and Sabr. Use those incredible skills you've got to give this guy hope.

And now that I have a red Springer mold, an orange and yellow Springer mold, and of course, the green version, I need a blue, and purple version for the complete rainbow goodness.... Sort of.

Pete is here!

He's D-310, released in 1989, his debut was Aug. 1st 1989... and his last appearance was in 2014 as a retool of 2012 Tomahawk. I'm sad to say none of the clues points towards him.

I've been thinking about the suffixes...

The Thief: BC2015718-2197M, AO: STGN
The Muscle: BC2015591-9687D?, AO: STHD
The Loose Cannon: BC2015426-2912SG?, AO: STHD
The Boss: BC201562811-484?, AO: STHD
The Bount Hunter: BC2015712-1496D?, AO: GNOP

We know that Packrat is a straight-up repaint.
We know that new heads are very much a thing.

GN = generic
HD = new head
OP = other part

What do you think? :\

Wait, what? Tomahawk was retooled into Blue Bacchus? When the crap did this happen?

In-fiction only. Fun Pub really likes to make "virtual retools" of characters to tease us and to possibly make them at a future time. I'm still awaiting a G2 Eagle Eye out of Gen. Armada Starscream.

Oh... thought I was going nuts for a second.

If the Club does Blue Bacchus, it has to have the correct head. Other than that, I'll be all over him. Generations Black Shadow needs his mate!

Great now I'm reminded by my great desire to have a toy form of Redwing.




And were never getting that.

Huh, not bad, not great either.

Okay, here's my submission for who the Springer redeco is: Blue Bacchus.

How much do you guys think the non-attendee package will go for this year round?

So, thus far, we know the Thief is Packrat, the Muscle might be Battletrap, the Loose Cannon could be someone related to BotCon 2012, the Boss could be someone from 1984, and the Bounty Hunter could be someone related to BotCon 1996 (possibly Oilmaster).

The tradition of horribly overpriced, butt-ugly repaints continues...

I was thinking GN for Generations indicating the mold. HD could be Hunt for the Decepticons (which is easier to abbreviate than "Transformers 2010" and less obvious than Reveal the Shield) which included Special Ops Jazz and a repaint of Classics Bee (and incidentally, Tomahawk). OP could be Overseas Prime for Breakdown. None of these really take the Springer mold into account, but nobody said that those five figures in the clip were all from the box set.

However, who in the HFTD line could be turned into which 1987 character, which BotCon 2012 character, and/or which 1984 character?

Blue and Gray Springer as Oilmaster's inner bot would work, sword and all. He was (going to be) a Double Pretender which I suppose could be (wrongly) interpreted as a Pretender with two alt modes.

for the Boss, i think it may be referring to 2011, the Animated year. I'm basing it off the first part of the code 62811, or 6-2-8-11. not a perfect representation of when botcon 2011 came out but close. the second part 484 may refer to the origins of the character 4-84. meaning the character came out in 1984.

Just speculation, but I think the Boss is Sideswipe

Er, Battletrap?

6/28/11 was the release date of DOTM.

Some are speculating that it might be the gray Prime Breakdown mold (specifically the Silas Breakdown version) done as a DOTM-inspired version of Megatron.

I'll believe this when they still say Packrat is coming on April 2nd. I do hope we get a Battletrap and Flywheels from Springer and Blitzwing.

Megs is a possibility, but Sideswipe was also in DOTM and I'd bet the Voyager mold would be reserved for the Muscle.

I looked up Sideswipe on TF Wiki and his Japanese ID number was 04. 484, 4-84

http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Sideswipe_(G1)#Generation_1

Generation 1
(thumbnail)

He had the look before it was trendy.
Sideswipe (Autobot Cars, 1984/1985, 1991, 2001/2002/2003)
Japanese ID number: 04, TFC-07
Accessories: "Laser gun", rocket launcher, 3 rockets

I am going to stick with my pick

Saberblade, you may be right about Battletrap for the Muscle, his id is D96 and he came out in 1987, which could translate to 9687D. dont know what the 591 means though

May 1991, the publishing date of Marvel G1 #80, which Battletrap was in.
