The Energon Pub

going to be very disapointing if all the figures will just be repaints, at least prior sets had a small amount of remold work done even if it was exchanged heads or new heads.

I'm still geting my Iacon package either way, love the coloring.

I will spell it out for ya....

Oh now that's just uncalled for! Not all Go-Bots were cheap. Some were classified all the way up to shoddy.

Oh why thank you oh wise one. I had no idea what "cheap "meant.

Since this conversation is obviously going nowhere "I will spell it out for ya...."

you said: it resembles a gobot or ko
you did not say: it was cheap. Fair enough, it may have been implied.
CP said: prove your claim it resemled a gobot/ko
you gave proof you have a g1
I said: CP didnt ask for proof you have a g1
You said: I gave proof i had a g1
I said: reread post
u gave this long winded explanation of cheap...which oddly enough does not inclue gobot or ko as synonyms
I said: this

And this couldn't be retail why?

Looks good, just mad they went this route with the classic seekers.

love the toy. hate the fact that it's an exclusive.

God, I think this sucks, Why couldn't they have made them, you know AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC?! I mean, hell, I live in New Zealand, I want Thrust, Dirge and Thundercracker without having the figures costing an arm and a leg. But i mean, at least they look cool.

Let us spell it out for you since you don't seem to get it.

Show some comparison pictures of Classics Dirge to a Gobot or a KO.
Prove your outlandish statement.



I mean really, did I miss the lunch time crazy-pills or something?

Ha ha! Yes, some Gobots were even crummy, slightly better than shoddy. Those were the Gobots I liked......

I can assure that I won't cut or modify anything on a fig that I am paying $50+ for.

It looks pretty sweet.. I hope they at least do the wing modification on Thrust.

Note to self: If ever in need of an arm and leg for $330, go to New Zealand.

Damolisher, bet your glad you live closer to Wellington instead of Auckland and their poop volcano. I can't believe they are seriously thinking about putting dookie in that old volcano. Can you imagine if that thing erupts? What makes it even better is that I hear they want to later fill it in and build a park on top of it. That's right kids, let's go to Poop Volcano Park.

^ Close but no cigar

DO NOT WANT.

I'll take a family package for the weekend, please. First class, please.....nothing but the finest for my family and I.

Hmmmm... a blue Ramjet...

I still have some of those, like Psycho and Optimus Prime's inbreed second cousin, Stacks.


Here's Stacks in alt mode. You see, Go-Bots were so pathetic they copied the Transformers Movie nearly 20 years before it even came out.










Oh God, what happened!?! That's just not right, Stacks has bird legs and... those are either ninja slippers or low top Keds.

I had Stacks as a lad. I enjoyed that figure, what with the car carrier buisness and all. He was my cheap ass version of Ultra Magnus.

a nice looking repaint. A pity that a wanted toy couldnt hit retail and the botcon exclusives be all clear or black or whatever. To make a popular character an exclusive is rubbing salt into 25-35 (on average) year olds wounds.

i dont know if its me but in robot and in jet the tips of wings look a little possibal but my eyes could be playing tricks on me or its just how the picture was taken.

surprisingly, i fell like i wont miss much this botcon.

They absolutely have to re-mold Thrust's wings. He's not Thrust w/out the fans on his wings for Primus' sake!! Still, I can't wait to see his or Thundercracker's paint jobs........................

The blue is an offputting shade, its not a bad shade by any means, but its thowing me out.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All the season 2 Seekers need to be remolds!

:calms down:

OK, as long as Thrust is a remold, I can accept it. But I hope to Primus this is a very early version, simply to see how the colors will look on the figure. But if this is th final version, I'll be disappointed. They just wont look right together with the other Seekers.

Yep, suuuuuure....is.

Looks nothing like the character or toy it is supposed to.

I even heard Dirge failed some of his community college classes. Man is he dumb.

Counterpunch, it's even worse than I thought. I went looking for his yearbook picture at community college and well, here's what I found:



I didn't even know they had dunce caps in college or at any school after the early 1900's for that matter.

heh, that's just...classic.
