The Energon Pub

They look like Constructicons.

That they are....Hook/Scavenger and maybe Longhaul?

New heads for the TFC figures?

Now those just look horrible. Whats with the exaggerated flat tops ? It looks like theyre balancing books on top of their heads.

Over at the TFW Boards, Arafat mentions that he was frustrated with the fanodom. He said he cancelled his account over at TFW. Then he stated he wasn't making anything else. Arafat mentioned he had other projects but he wasn't going to be doing them. Arafat cites feedback was unpleaseant and he wasn't willing to go through this ordeal again.

It's possible, These might be cancelled items.

Either way, I won't be buying them.

Well if I got told my prototype looked like a bunch of milk cartons taped together, I would probably be uptight too...

I mentioned Arafat made this statement over at the TFW boards not here. Arafat was referring to comments made over at TFW.

So what youre saying is that the insults thrown his way on TFW were worse than what he got here ?

Yes

Arafat was just visiting here for a few days and left after a few comments. Over at TFW, Arafat was having heated arguments for almost One year with so many members that spanned over 16 plus pages in that Deca Toys Kronos thread on TFW.

While its nice he took the time to interact with the fans, he chose to enter the lions den. They say if you cant take the heat stay out the kitchen. You see all the crap I take. I brush it off and dont really let nothing Bother me. Its entertainment. Ive never once considered deleting my profile or contacting a mod to intervene. Its just not my style.

And if I recall correctly, your comments were extremely harsh and overall nonconstructive. Sure, it's your "style", but to think that a human being (because that is what we and Arafat are, after all) should be subjected to all this craziness for trying to bring a figure out... something which could be amazing and which I have a vested interest in... is ridiculous.

Overall, I hope the damage isn't permanent and Arafat continues to do more work on these robots. Maybe one day I have a DaCa Toys figure which is one the best in my collection, or maybe I won't because a talent was persuaded otherwise by "fans".

TL:DR - You don't have to like everything, nor should you. There are better ways to get your point across.

Theres an old saying....it goes stick and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Ive been on different blogging sites in the past but this is the only one where people let words hurt them. I could understand if this was facebook, but how can you take a screen name with an avatar seriously ? Anybody who takes all this stuff to heart probably is better off not posting for the sake of their own personal sanity. Just my opinion.

Or, we would all just be better off never having to read through your stupid, pointless conversations in every thread. You only say the same retarded crap in everyone so maybe give us enough credit to realize we get what you think/want/feel and move on. I have yet to see you interacting with anyone here that doesn't come away thinking your a pompous blow hard troll with nothing of value to add. Some of the more politically correct members try to relate to you, but as far as I can tell, people generally hate you. Its no wonder you "choose" to live alone playing with your toys in a corner. Who could stand to listen to you for more than a week? Mom maybe?

The difference between you and me, is while I might disrespect the persons point of view, I dont disrespect the person. You came on here to flat out disrespect me, not just my opinions. You want to be the mouthpiece for a group of fans you claim to represent ? You make fun of a city (and sub-culture) you probally know nothing about. You want to type things on a keyboard that you would never have the balls to say to a persons face in real life ? Dude I dont even see you, all I see is chicken....

Im not a snitch, and I wont be sending any PMs. But now that youve been quoted, Im sure the mods will sort this out. When you play with fire, you're sure to get Burned. (no puns intended)

Your right I have no respect for you. Where your wrong is I wouldn't hesitated to tell you so in person. Your two dollar opinions directed at people masquerading as constructive criticism is hogwash. Your a troll plain and simple and you like to sound off for the sake of hearing yourself do so. The previous poster is correct when he points out Arafat is a human being doing something for the fandom for yes *gasp* a profit and your piss ant behavior toward his work was disgusting. You certainly were not the only one, but if you don't like his work simply don't buy it. No need to repeat how awful you think it was over and over and pretend like you "respect" the person, somehow patting yourself on the back like your intentions were to help him improve his product. These forums are littered with your nonsensical repeat comments and I am certain I am not the only one that would love to see you quietly go away. The other thread where you tried to compare this site with 3rd parties is a good laughable example. Either your completely obtuse or you know that your missing the point but continue anyway to elicit a flame war. The very definition of a troll.

If Burn feels he want to punish me for telling you exactly how I feel about you thats his decision. I wont loose sleep over it, as you can see in 5 years I have less than 250 posts. Your a cancer. I don't retract anything I said. Nor will I continue to converse with you, everyone already knows what you are anyway.

I can understand why Arafat chose to leave. This project was probably VERY consuming for him, in time, in labor, in mental and maybe even physical energy .... it's tough hearing feedback on that sort thing. Especially when the fandom (in general) gets too personal soemtimes. It probably would have been a good idea to get someone on the team to filter those comments. To take the legitimate points out of the sea of feedback.

Anyway, I hope these are replacement heads for TFC's Devestator. Even if that's unlikely at this point. Actually, I'd support any 3rd party company that makes it their business to provide new heads for most 3rd party products.

If I had to place a bet, I would say this guy probably is Arafat. We all saw how easily his temper was ignited by critics. Whoever this Skyfire guy is, I'm flattered that he chose me as his target. Instead of coming to this site to talk about Transformers, he comes here to talk about Rated X.

I've never had a stalker before. It's kinda creepy, but amusing never the less...

So you embrace a cyber stalker who hides behind a computer to deliver insults ?

I thought you were made of sterner stuff...

Waitaminute! Is Arafat's not Skyfire cancelled or what?

It hasn't been cancelled. Arafat still plans to release Kronos. Sites still have acive preorders.

That's a relief. can't wait for not Skyfire.

The las update on Kronos showed a truck filled with packaged figures either leaving China or being delivered to retailers. Should not be long now. Easily the most anticipated release for me in years if not ever.
