The Energon Pub

Alright, I'm trying to sign up since I know I have subscribed to the magazine back in December and I don't really get the Expiration Date part. Do they want the date when I signed up plus the next year or what?

I love this thread. I wish I could eat it twice. Thank you, everybody.

btw, is the engine/gun piece misplace in the car pic? Why the hell is it on the roof?

As far as I know they'll be available to all however non-members will have to pay a little bit extra.

Okay, that sounds good. If I were able to get all of the previous free Club exclusives, I would be more apt to join. But I don't need any more Energon combiner limbs.

nah, let it go guys.

we'll still be getting it this year, and it's not worth the effort complaining and feeding to the egos of those who have the privilege.

bottom line is: Universe 2.0 is still on track, and i'm excited as heck. i'm betting within a few days some kind and brave hack will have the guts to float around a few images. let it go.

Excuse me? EGOS?

Where the hell do you get off saying that? Has anyone here who has seen the pics acted egotistical in doing so?

NO!

We're not "privileged", we paid to be members of this club. Just because YOU aren't a member does not make us have giant egos or make us privileged, it doesn't make us better than you. In fact it makes us no different to you whatsoever.

The only reason people think the members are egotistical, privileged or better than non-members is pure jealousy from a bunch of people who are acting like little children who are upset because they didn't get a lollipop.

Seriously. Get the hell over it people. Everyone's entitled to join the club, if you can't afford it fine, but not being a member doesn't give you the right to go around criticizing those of us who are members.

Like zemper said, Classics 2.0 IS coming and you'll see what Sunstreaker looks like eventually.

Hey Counterpunch,

Did you notice that mold would make a damn fine Punch/Counterpunch?

I'm digging Sunstreaker, he looks like he could be articulated as well as Mirage. The head sculpt is awesome! Can't wait to see the rest.

The biggest shock to me is an Ultra Class Powerglide though! That came out of nowhere.

I've had enough of the complaints in this thread about the Club. You all know last time they did this they posted the photo a few days later.

So stop the complaining or warnings will be handed out.

Yeah, Powerglide as an Ultra Class floors me.

after the concept art we saw last year im very disappointed, he looks so skinny and the legs are very clumsy looking, the tiny feet, the wheels on the front, the rear on the knees, its got the features i DONT like about the alternators. I was hoping for some chunky goodness like the concept art. this isnt working for me, a great shame. its not dreadful but it could (should) have been great.

This is a repaint/remold I would be in favor of. Make the head flip and turn somehow to make it look different. Hasbro is genius. I wish I could see the toy to make final judgment, but I didn't spend the money for the privilege to see it, and that is my problem. I am on the fence about joining anyway. I can't wait for this toy to come out though, Sunstreaker was my favorite Season 1 character, so this figure WILL be bought.

You're goddamn right I did.

well, I don't think this thread needs my opinions on the Club exclusive photo thing I'll skip it other then saying I don't think it's that big of a deal, since it sounds like only Sunstreaker was shown.

Anyway, I'm actually quite pleased with this list of Classics even if there wasn't a Wheeljack or Dinobots on it. I've been itching to get my hands on the Universe Sunstreaker since I saw the concept art over the summer, same goes for "Tankor" coughOctanecough, oh well, the name on the package doesn't mean I have to call it that! I've seen the Onslaught image as well, and I have to say that the only disappointment about him is that he doesn't seem to be part of a combiner set. Maybe we'll all be pleasantly surprised when he is released and see that he has the proper connectors for a combiner? I'm very eager for Prowl and Powerglide, I've always wanted a G1 version of each. I think the biggest issue I have with the list overall though has to be that I'll continue to widen the gap between my Autobots and Decepticons.

Hm, a picture may be worth one thousand words, however, it isn't worth $60 dollars. Of course in a few days it will probably be all over the internet.

But then again since the photo can't be posted here, I know some kind soul out there has saved it, and wouldn't mind showing a money conscience poor college kid the photo via a PM of some sort.

If you're planning on buying any of the club exclusives join the club. You'll save a decent amount on that figure plus you'll get the freebie.

I don't like the "ears". Powerglide, eh? And he's an Ultra. Can't wait to see that. Tankor? Well, at least it makes sense. They loose the name? Why couldn't they call him Mega Octane or something?

The toy is for everyone, for pete's sake. It's not a Botcon or members-only exclusive toy. Are they trying to keep potential buyers out the fence?

Crazy dumb ass.

Now i will never join that club.

And to think i almost did.

Powerglide and Onslaught are Ultras? Hmm, I'm confused about the size scaling beyond Leader, Deluxe and Voyager. Is ultra bigger or smaller then leader?

Wasnt Octane suppose to be an ultra or did I just dream that up?

For me the best thing on sunstreaker was the head sculp, and the ultra sized powerglide sounds interesting. I was suprised there was only one pic but guess I just have to wait for the mag to arrrive.

Ultras are bigger than voy and smaller than leaders.

Am I the only one that is really excited about Powerglide? I can't wait till some pics are officially released to the public.!

Ultra is about the size of a Voyager but with a bit more bulk. The extra size can allow for more complex transformations.

Only club exclusive figures were the Seacons and Nightbeat but that was mentioned before so it's not old news.

Well we still don't know what the 4 remaining Deluxes and 2 Ultras will be. I think it's safe to assume that Sideswipe will be one of the 8 for this year.

Finally, some Seacons!

Thanks Discharge.

Wow, those are going to be pretty big. So it is possible that my Universe Onslaught could be the same size or bigger then my G1 Bruticus? Ultra seems a little big for Powerglide, Deluxe seems to be the right size for him. Oh well, I just want see what he looks like. I hope I get to see some pics before these hit the stores.
