The Energon Pub

Update DotM haul:

Voyager Megatron
Voyager Ratchet
Voyager Shockwave

Maybe gonna pick up battle blades prime and the Fallen from TRU tomorrow!

STILL looking around for Ultimate Optimus! I'm in the UK, has anyone seen him or does anyone know any info on when we're likely to see him?

Just bought skyhammer

I found me a Cyberverse Hatchet. It was the only one I found at a Target and I napped him! Pretty cool fig!

Deluxe,

Laserbeak (FINALLY!)
Topspin
Jolt

Managed to get the following at Target today:
Space Case (only one they had/I've seen)
Skyhammer (Used $3 off coupon)
Sentinel Prime (Used $10 off coupon)

Overall this is one of the best hauls I've gotten in recent memory. I think Sentinel and Skyhammer are the stars of the line so far, and a absolutely love the Terradive mold, so I'm impressed with Space Case (and his color scheme is amazing) and I welcome more repaints/remolds of Terradive in the future

Got a HA Roadbuster from Kmart the other day. Amazing figure.

Broke down and bought Sideswipe today.....

I'm not fully impressed, but it does help to seperate ROTF Swerve and Him a bit more.

The other day I got Sideswipe, Laserbeak and the Cyberverse Optimus with the trailer.

I went to Target and picked up the following exclusives:
Voyager Ratchet
Deluxe Space Case
Deluxe Arcee
Deluxe Autobot Jazz
Cyberverse Leadfoot and Ironhide

Got Voyager Optimus Prime. Yes, the DOTM MechTech one. I can't say enough about how great he is. No, seriously. He's not junk.

Yes, I was originally planning on skipping Voyager Optimus, but he really does grow on you. He really isn't a terrible figure. Same can be said for Leader Bumblebee

I scored Commander class hatchet at a walmart on the way back from watching the motorcycle races at Fulton County fairgrounds.

For me it depends. I would display DOTM DLX Ratchet with DOTM DLX Bumblebee & Sideswipe, deluxe Wreckers, voyager Ironhide, HFTD Voyager Optimus and maybe Leader Sentinel Prime(Leader Sentinel is just a little big for this scale in bot mode but just right in vmode). I would display the Target Voyager Ratchet(until we get a Leader Ratchet) with ROTF Leader Optimus, Leader Ironhide and all of the HA figures(Leader Sentinel’s vmode is too small, bot mode is ok but I think he’s on the short side for this scale so I wounldn’t display him with this combo). Deluxe Laserbeak looks good with Leaders only imo.

Really? I would think the Humvee would be bigger then the GMC truck. I'd say if your using deluxe ratchet...use deluxe ironhide and voyager Prime. Even poor ole Bonecrusher (that only got a deluxe) would be the same size if not bigger then Ironhide and pushing the same size and ratchet. Deluxe Ratchet does appear to be the best movie accurate though.

Well ill be buying another Sideswipe in the Near future seeing as mine just broke on me and no i dont have the receipt *sigh* oh well.

Actually the GMC Topkick is a little bigger. Here is a pic of the original vehicles in the '07 movie.

Take it back anyways without the receipt. Walmart will normally ask for an Id card only if no receipt. They only let you bring back so much without a receipt year round but no big deal. Customer satisfaction and you'll only get a gift card or even trade!

ahhh, yeah...a "little" bigger I see. I wouldn't say a deluxe vs a voyager though, cause that puts Ratchet out of scale with the cars. This is why scale and hasbro is out to lunch. Unless there were scout class Bee and sideswipe.

DLX Ratchet
SUPREME Jetwing OP, came with a coin!
DLX Laserbeak.

Deluxe Crankcase (x 3)
Deluxe Roadbuster
Deluxe Topspin
Deluxe Ratchet
Deluxe Starscream
Voyager Megatron
Voyager Shockwave
Voyager Skyhammer
Leader Sentinel Prime

I know. "Scale!" I wonder if Hasbro will ever get it right.

Well tommorow im gonna take my broken Sideswipe back to walmart and replace him with another one.
