The Energon Pub

I'm with you on this one Flux ole chum. Can't have enough SG stuff. Granted I do agree that they can just do like a single figure a year or so and not saturate the market with them. Cause it is just a niche group that probably even collects SG stuff. I just hope that Fun Pub keeps the door on this line open for sometime.

I keep holding out hope that one year we'll get a BotCon or Club giftset of the unreleased G2 Protectobots and Stunticons. To me, it just seems like a matter of time before those are released. By matter of time, it could be ten years, 30 years ... it just seems like something that'll get made eventually.

In the realm of more likely G2 figures to get released, I'd really like to see some G2 repaints that I think would be a given at some point. G2 Onslaught, G2 Silverbolt, G2 Beachcomber, G2 Bumblebee (gold), G2 Hubcap with a head remold ... I'm sure there are plenty of choices, but those ones (specifically Onslaught and Silverbolt) would seem likely to me. However, considering that these are obnoxious G2 color schemes, maybe it'll never happen or if it does, maybe I'll wish that it had never happened.

If I never see a G1/G2/RiD Onlsaught/Mega-Octane and any of the other Combaticons toys again I can die happy man.

I've never been a fan of the TransTech concept. I was really disappointed to see this concept visited in the Club comics. However, I for some reason seem to be outnumbered on this as I keep seeing people talking about Transtech unfortunately.

I agree. People complain endless how bad Beast Machines was (personally IMHO the show is the best TF series ever) and yet they want to see it's sequal.

I'd love to see them do something with 2010. You know ... something that actually makes sense. I wasn't a fan of the last two Botcon sets (though there were a couple of great homages such as Banzai-Tron and the SG Megatron head sculpt) and have never liked the concept of Shattered Glass (this idea needs to die like yesterday). I think the 2006 and 2007 sets were the best and most well thought out, though the 2007 was questionable depending on whether or not you were able to attend BotCon.

As for Shattered Glass ... I think it was a horrible concept from head-to-toe. I absolutely hate seeing characters morally reversed. It serves no purpose to me other than to appease some people. A "heroic" Megatron is just a flat out dumb idea to me. You don't have to agree with me, it's just my opinion. I guess when you think about the name "megatron" and you think about the name's origin, it doesn't make any sense to use it in a heroic manner. Same with a very heroic sounding "Optimus Prime" name. If I had been forced to write a Shattered Glass storyline, I would have written it in a manner where a 3rd party alien race or a very powerful Transformer captured a large group of Transformers and somehow forced them to play out their opposite roles of of good or bad simply for their amusement. Maybe wiped their minds clean, or installed elements of "programming" from each of their nemesis'.

Mirror Universes can be fun if they're used occasionally mostly it's fun to see that the roles are reversed, the heroes are villains and villains are heroes. Also I think Mirror Universe type stories tend to work best if done occasionally doing them all the time is where they get tedius, dull, and downright stupid. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine mirror universe episodes destroyed the Star Trek Mirror Universe because of it's overuse.

"A generation" makes me think G2 is a possibility. I'd love to see it, honestly. Repaint some Classics/Universe molds into G2 characters. Sideswipe/Sunstreaker mold repainted as Skram and/or Rapido. Cybertron HotShot mold might make a good WindBreaker.

"a battle for the future" hmm... Kinda makes me think Beast Wars, but like others have said, that's probably doubtful. My bet is still a G2 or even Machine Wars theme.

I'm thinking 2010 (the JP name of the postMovie series) will be Japanese series focused with some Headmaster, Masterforce and Victory. We've already had Deathsaurus (awesome) and Megazarak in past years. Plus E Star Saber and C Override (Minerva) need more people that speak their language!

This actually makes perfect sense.

This actually makes me realize how feeble my trans-knowledge really is....

I'd defiantly rather it be a 2010/Season 4 kind of thing, rather than G2. Some of the transtek could be decent, but Beast Machines and such are pretty blah.

I wouldn't mind seeing some of the UK/Europe stuff, like last year's set with Thunderclash, as a new set.

Just stay away from they movie molds and I am happy!

Transtech.

G2 would be awesome too.
