The Energon Pub

This has become a part of our christmas tradition. Thought I would share.

Nothing says Christmas like santa Megatron.

Wow, can even robots go to heaven?

I love that Santa Megatron.

I've put up the train tracks around and below the tree before the presents occupying the space. Beside decorating with some small animals, I also put the classics Megatron besides the bridge and posed him like trying to crush the bridge. My son love it and every time when the train passes by that, he screams like people in the train.

I will be putting Omega Supreme under the tree to run as my train set.

Wouldn't it be Sigmamas? Like Vector Sigma?

The Well of All Sparks.

Considering the symbolism people have applied to him before, I'd think Primemas would be a bit more like it.

Well, Primus is more like God, and Vector Sigma is more like Jesus, because isn't Vector Sigma made from part of Primus's spark?

Sorry, I should've been more clear. Prime as in Optimus Prime, not Primus.

See, because people have compared Optimus to Jesus before.

We need to start working on the Cybertronian bible. Start with the book of Jazz or Transformations

I thought Optimus Prime was Jewish.

so was Jesus, so Primas still works

At the risk of being blasphemous, Primus would be God, Vector Sigma would be the Holy Spirit and Rodimus Prime would be Jesus as he was a foretold saviour.

Plus I'm sick of all the love Optimus gets.

Optimus prime isnt jesus just a sick sadomasochistic robot...

If you've seen the Transformers movies you know that their leader Optimus Prime is a big fan of sacrificing himself for a noble cause -- it's the closest thing a talking truck can have to a hobby. Well, in the comic books he's no different, except you have to replace the word "noble" with "nut-bustingly stupid". On this occasion, Optimus Prime's terrible resurrection is overshadowed only by his incredibly pointless death: he commits suicide over a videogame.

It all starts when the Autobots and the Decepticons are about to have an all-out brawl about something or other, when this kid shows up with a less destructive alternative.

He suggests they all log in as characters in his videogame so they can fight there, and whoever wins in the game gets the thing they're fighting for. Megatron agrees on one condition: that both he and Optimus stuff their bodies with explosives and whoever loses the game gets blown up in real life. Since Optimus hasn't sacrificed himself for at least ten issues and is starting to get a little testy, he agrees.

Once they're inside the game Optimus reminds the Autobots not to hurt any of the game characters, even though they're not real and don't have personalities, 'cause that's not how Autobots roll. They have no qualms about shooting Decepticons in the dick, though.


Megatron uses a cheat code to kill off most of the Autobots and is about to win, but at the last moment Optimus knocks a tower over onto Megatron, pushing him off a cliff.

So this means the Autobots won and should be able to blow Megatron to pieces, right? Wrong. To everyone's astonishment, Optimus announces he didn't win at all because he accidentally killed some game characters when he beat Megatron, which goes against his principles. So, looks like it's a draw then... or it would be if Optimus didn't suffer from some weird death fetish.


Optimus is essentially killing himself over some goombas, thus harming his team, endangering the universe (the Decepticons got the thing they were fighting over), and mentally scarring every child in the '80s.

There was no Christmas that year.

But then, after letting the Decepticons leave and the Autobots mourn their friend for a little while, Ethan reveals he had conveniently saved Optimus's mind onto a floppy disk before he destroyed him.

That's right, his entire consciousness is contained inside one floppy disk. And no, this isn't some sort of ultra powerful alien technology disk he used: the Autobots didn't even know about it, which means this is a regular floppy circa 1986, the ones that could hold around one megabyte of information. If you cut and paste this article into Word it will take twice as much space as Optimus Prime's entire being.


The only problem is the little shithead took so long to mention this that by the time he did the Autobots had already shot Optimus' dead body into space, though on the other hand we hope our friends do us the same courtesy. They travel to three different planets looking for someone capable of rebuilding Optimus, and finally find him on the planet Nebulog. So they rebuild Optimus from scratch, download his memory into the new body, and then...


...he immediately dies again.

They're forced to make even more changes to his new body to survive (just in time for a new Christmas toyline release!) and he ends up looking pretty bad ass. Then he dies sacrificing himself again 30 issues later, not to mention that he also died on the movie that came out on the same year. At this point, we're not sure why the Autobots bother reviving him at all.

Heres how I always thought of it, Primus is the Cybertronian God, Vector Sigma is like Jesus, and Optimus is just some random leader who died in battle. (In random I mean compared to a bigger scale, like the first 13 and all the other Primes that came before and after him.)

i say primus is god, hot rod jesus (he is like a prophet). optimus, jazz, prowl, kup, ultra magnus, ratchet, ironhide, bumblebee, sunstreaker, and sideswipe are the apostles. arcee is mary. and of course unicron is satan!

I'm going to stay away from all the religious speculation and say that this is totally awesome. We considered doing a Transformers Nativity scene last year but never got around to it.

What with dying and coming back to life for a short period then disappearing again, yes.

How about a nativity with a tiny OP in the manger?
