The Energon Pub

Y'all lost me.



Gotta run to the store but you guys are welcome to chill as long as you like.

william-james88 wrote:I am stocked. But like you, I buy my games for 20$ a piece. So lets say I am super stocked that in 2 years from now I will be playing FF7 remake As well as MGS5 GOTY edition. And in 3 years play FF15 and Kingdom Hearts 3.

I tried to play FF7 on my vita; I don't mind retro (read crappy) graphics but the antiquated controls were kinda killing it for me.

I've yet to play a KH game, the HD rereleases have been very tempting, but I only have so much time in the day.

I spotted the day one version of MGS5 today at Target for $50, I was tempted but decided to wait.

The only upcoming game I'll be getting launch day is No Man's Sky. I'm sure these guys are tired of hearing me talk about that one, so I linked it just in case you're not up to speed.

With as little time as I have, I'd be happy to be able to sit down and play the latest D3 update/patch that was released recently.

Heh. WJ is stocked.

Also, FF7 HD Remastered looks so dang unbelievable. It's like it's not even the same game!

BACK to The Zelda of Legend..

I have the Twilight Princess HD w/amiibo on pre-order. Woo!

Also, never played Majora's Mask. I bought the 3DS remaster and never opened it. So back to the store it went. It apparently had some neat upgrades when played on a *new* 3DS, like using the "C-stick" to peek around corners.

Also, Ocarina of Time 3D on the *new* 3DS XL? Amazing. Face-tracking 3D changed my life. I've had that game since the LoZ:OoT Special Edition 3DS and didn't finish it until I got my *new* 3DS XL.

Star Fox 64 3D is also now incredible.

Nintendo!!!!

Alright, let's talk some more Microman stuff!

I just got this sweet baby in. I had wanted this toy since it came out in 2000, but it was very hard to acquire back then, and expensive as hell. But thanks to bargain hunter supreme Willy J, and the lovely folks at Sonokong in Korea, I landed this badass battle wagon for some chump change (plus shipping).

Here we have Microman LED Powers, Micro Trailer with pilot Secret Breaster Edison.





As many know Takara re-purposed this toy for the Microman LED Powers toy line form it's original use as Transformers Action Masters Optimus Prime. So, double COOL!





I think Edison is my favorite LED Microman. I just really like his mantis helmet. This Secret Breaster deco is really nicely done. I like the colors they chose, and that matte black paint on his chest is a nice touch.


Is anybody old enough to know what I'm talking about when I say, BJ and the Bear?




Big Rig Battle Wagon mode



The trailer separates and transforms into Mobile Command Battle Station mode.



The cab transforms into this sweet Battle Ready Cloud Hopper.




This toy is such an awesome vehicle/play set. It pushes all my toy buttons. It's jam packed full of fun play features. The deco on this thing is a wet dream come true. You all know my weakness for translucent plastic, and if that weren't enough, the white plastic has that opalescent glitter sheen to it.

Billy and I, and I think Cary had a discussion a while back about how it's a neat idea that the Micro dudes commandeered little Timmy's Tonka truck and turned it into a fully functional gun laden road hog, but now that I have this in hand I realize, Edison built this thing out of the circuit boards and casing of Timmy's dad's old broken first gen Imac.

Jeeze guys! I swear I was only gone for a couple days, and the traffic through here is worse than the CW thread!

Old Zelda figs! I had those! Ganon with the Phantom mask is sweeeet.

Those lil fellas are ADORABLE.

Micro-Action-Master-Man truck is friggin awesome!

I'm all up to date yeah?

Hey pal! Did you see the shots with Tigertron and Superlink Laser Wave?
If so, you are all up to speed.

What's cookin'? I saw you got Burrito Supreme Mode Bee. Did you crack him open yet?
Be careful. Chuckdawg broke the hand on his taking the sword in and out.

BJs and the Bear - check

Awesome tiny battle wagons built from circuit board - check check

Camera game upped with badass silver and gold backgrounds - check check and check



Good stuff, those micro truck wagons of devastation look badical! I meant to say how much I liked your new backgrounds yesterday, but Zelda

Still using the camera phone, cause it looks seine stopped by the Voodoo shop on their way home.

It all looks awesome Cobo, congrats on the new aquisition!

Maybe it's because the internet was available during my adolescence but that just sounds like a really weird porno to me.

Or really awesome, depending on your point of view

Microman, as a repurposed Action Master?!

Cats and dogs, living together?!

MASS HYSTERIA!!!

I had the exact same line running through my head while editing this shot. I almost wrote it in the post, but then I had this starnge feeling someone else might see the same joke, so I left it open to chance.
Cram you just won a free life time Platinum Level membership with all the perks and privilages to the Collect-O-Tron!

I believe it was an adult film, starring our very own Wolfman Jake!
Jake if you ever read this post please know it was from the heart. I always appreciate your honesty and openness, and completely respect you as a friend and human being. I mean it.

The wife sent me to Michael's to get some picture frames, so I also took the opportunity to peruse for back drop upgrades. The red and blue were getting stale, and stifling my mojo, man.

You asked if I am still using my phone. (I think that's what you asked. didn't quiet get that sentence. typo prehaps?) I am still only shooting with my IPhone, but let me show you the real source of my new magic.

The DayFlo EZ Lite! 1000 Watts of photo magic with pro dampening umbrella and defuser.
One of the awesome perks of interning at a film production studio.
Why I didn't bring home the stand for the light, I still can't figure out. I go back in on Wednesday.
(oh and of course Photoshop is the other source of magic)



In other news. This fine little piece of tailpipe has decided to grace the Tron with her presence.

I'm REALLY anxious to hear your thoughts. I have the wants pretty bad for dat bot

Wow I thought my porn joke was going a bit over the limit, but you brought it to a whole new level !

And about your roadrage which took its sweet time on a boat, I am gonna actually pick the boat option next time. It takes as long as SAL might take but you save like 40% of the costs. It does mean that I will be waiting 1-2 months for my takara figures. But every bit counts when you want to save money and keep collecting.

Sleaking of sexy. Where dem RR pics brah?

Working on it right now!

That light you have is awesome, great pics!

The light is an awesome upgrade, but Roadie her self is quite radiant. And photogenic as all get out.
I love her to pieces. Just a few things about Tracks bug me, but they are washed away with her.
I did swap their guns, and like the result.

Funny and great looking pics!

The yellow background worked really nice

If you didn't notice, Eddie's pretty proud of his rig.

MAN!! That is better than i thought it would look , had my eye on it for a while now i'm just not ready to start buying vehicles yet .

But damn Cobs you showed it off real nice

ROADRAGE!!!!!!!1!1!1!!1!!1!1!1!1!!1!1!!!!

She's ballin'.

In your new Ballin' Bot Booth.

Thanks fellas! Glad you likey. I have been having fun with the new light and back drops. It was really what I needed to refresh my photo game.

Road Rage is the bomb.com, or did I already tell ya'll that.

Geno - that Big Rig is a truck load of fun! I haven't tried it yet but I'm sure all the other size Microman can ride in it. In fact the LED guys are a little small. If you ever decide to take the plunge, and can't find a good price, Let me know. the Korean version was dirt cheap, and with your money being worth all the America money, it could be worth it.


After perusing the goings on in the Collect-O-Tron,(or lurking, if you will ) my brother texted me this great little photo. I thought I would share it with all y'all Zelda nuts.

I thought these capsule toys were just the four Links, but I guess there were more. That's a little plush Yakul, from the Miyazaki movie Princess Mononoke.

TETRA!!!!
