The Energon Pub

I have:

Nemesis Prime with black BTS Trailer = Motormaster
Henkei Wildrider
Classics Dragstrip

This leaves Dead End and Breakdown.

Please share your thoughts on any existing figures (perhaps Armada/Energon/Cybertron) that are decent looking stand-ins for these two characters. Thanks!

There is movie Dead End, remember. He could make a decent Classics Dead End.

I wish I could find a Wildrider for good price though.

As mentioned above, there is a ROTF Dead End... the Deluxe Class, the Scout Class sucks, in my opinion... and there is supposed to be a Scout Class Breakdown coming from ROTF, in the future. Unfortunately, it will be Scout Class, but it looks cool.

Well, for Breakdown, I'd say the Henkei Red Alert would work nicely.




And for Dead End, Universe Treadshot.

Is that Universe Treadshot Nissan Skyline R32?

Looks like I've got some reorganization to do.

The car...it's watching me, I tell you! Watching me!!!

I'm going to suggest Classics/Henkei Hot Shot for Dead End. I know it's crazy but I want to see Hot Shot in Dead End's colour scheme.

G1 Dead End has legs similar to Hot Shot(big ol' boots) and Jolt could be modded and repainted to try to simulate Dead End's cannons in Attack Mode.

That would require mod on the owner's part, which is a pain.

Pain? Dead End doesn't care about pain. We're all just food for rust, afterall.

Cosmic Rust?

Rusty rust!

Seriously on the Treadshot? I guess if he is never put in robot mode...

O.K. O.K., the robot mode is really poor, but the overall look of vehicle mode just screams Dead End.

Hell, both Nemesis Prime and Gentei Wildrider stop looking like Stunticons the second you transform them. Maybe paint Treadshot's windscreen black...

I need to find a Wildrider. Wouldn't it be great if Hasbro actually make these combiners? ie. the ROTF Superion or Bruticus.

Yes and no. I for one would love an updated set of the Stunticons, but no, because after seeing the Arialbots... well, to put it bluntly... they looked like crap to me. I mean, even with the Combaticons, why the heck is Blastoff a helicopter. What in the name, Blastoff, screams, helicopter???!!! ... Eh hem, anyhow...

I want five different and updated molds of the Stunticons. I so wish that ROTF Breakdown wasn't a Scout Class, but he's on my must have list, and I had to have the Deluxe Class Dead End, just wish they painted him Burgandy with black stripes, like he is in his robot mode. In his Alt Mode, he reminds me of K.I.T.T.

Although, I have an interesting question. Why was Hot Rod/Rodimus repainted into Wildrider? That makes no sense.

I guess Wildrider is one of the only character made in the Henkei series that has an alt mode resembling something a Wildrider would be. I agree about the combiners, but I think since they're repaints from the Energon, that's prob why Blastoff is a helicoper. This brings something up, if Combaticons were built from WWII stuffs, where did Starscream find a space shuttle anyways?

They say that the Nazis experimented with spacecraft technology.

Dun-dun-duuuuuunnnnn!

I went and looked at the said episode in the Matrix set, and it seems that it wasn't a spaceshuttle before Starscream put in the energon-cube mind.

Those dastardly tricky Nazis!

...

I for one would like to see an updated Stunticon combiner set. I vaguely remember footage of them just driving around and randomly taking off to wreck stuff. Randomly. Taking. Off. No ramps, maybe bumps on the road, but these guys were making good air. They were like robot equivalents to Jackass, just going around and running into things.

Now I want Stunticons.

I remember them doing them, come to think of it, why didn't the Autobot get some of those alloy that was used on Stunticons to make themselves ram stuff too?

Because Autobots are dumm.

Yes.

Dumm.

Yea, and Decepticons need a leader with more courage.

I wouldn't mind an Energon style Stunticons/Menasor. It's one thing when the original limbs are 4 very different vehicals, but the Stunticons are all cars. Who cares as long as they're all painted right?
