The Energon Pub

Heck, I'm glad I'm escaping from London - then again I don't know how safe Northern Ireland is instead?

It's indeed a frightening world.

You have the Yakuza and the Triads in Brum? Yikes.

yup, part of brum was closed off about 2 years ago, after a turf war happened. Still, the Triads own most of the Chinese restaurants and buffet places in Birmingham city center

I had no idea. I really fancy a Chinese now, though.

Aww don't freak the poor chap out. Its not that bad really. Just be firm yet gentle and it will take about 45 min. to an hour.

Cripes. Not to sound like a tosser but it took me 20 minutes without the instructions to transform MP Megatron the first time. It all just fits. It is an amazingly logical transformation and similar enough to the original toy.

And as for disapointing? Never! I am actually thinking about buying a second. Never did that with Convoy! Some of the poses MP Megs pulls are great. I must admit I have him in a fairly generic "Legs braced while pointing Fusion Cannon" pose.

Just be careful who ya bump into if ya have one in Brum

Hey Big Grim,

You've saved us from our serves and brought the thread back to reality

No offence but you are a tosser Really, 20 minutes without the instructions? That's outstanding - if I were only so logically minded!

IMHO Megatron is the best Masterpiece figure and will remain so until I get Skywarp. I'm a sucker for purple F-15s!

I'd say thats genius...doing MP megatron without instructions in 20 mins. You'd have been a whiz on Krypton Factor, back in the day

As someone other than me might say, "Krypton Factor FTW".

I wanted to go on that....and Crystal Maze

Me too.

of course, i wasnt' above cheating to get crystals...and breaking the games.

When I was a kid...I always wanted to go on Fun House too

I was having a really good day.

Fun House? Are you mad? You'd have to put up with Mr. Mullet Pat Sharp and his bimbo twins.

who didn't wanna enter that giant fun house and get all those tags?

I also wanted to run rampant in those go-karts

Ahh, happy days. Back when kids TV rocked. It's gone downhill since Cat Dealy left

Still, I'm quite un-disgruntlted. I've managed to snag an MP Brave Exkaiser! Well, maybe I should I *will* snag this figure - I have to wait till June to afford him.

When I finally get that bad-boy I'm letting MP Megs borrow the sword to batter MP Prime with.

*Does happy dance across the room*

There's a Crystal Maze you can go around near Tenby in Wales. But instead of collecting gold tickets in the dome, you have to hit lit lights. If you hit a dim light, that's the equivilant of a silver ticket. It's great fun.

It was worth going through the gunge games in Fun House just to get to go around that huge Fun House. Ahh, I'm getting all misty eyed with happy memories now. (another classic)

I am so visiting that giant crystal maze

Sounds bloody marvellous to me too!

I call an ODB trip to tenby..to this giant Crystal Maze. We gotta have nine go, otherwise it just ain't right...and should we all wear boiler suits like the teams used to?

We'll also need a eccentric bald guy leading us around...

It's some random guy on a screen with a really big moustache that takes you around. But all four zones are there, along with the mix of games (physical ones are fun ). Best to go in the morning when it's empty so you can run from zone to zone like Richard O'brian used to (you switch zones after each game and actually have to solve riddles to find the right game). Last me and my dad went in, we managed to get 22 crystals. Though it's easy to miss if you just drive past, the outside looks like a large pub out in the middle of nowhere.

Does anyone know how I'd go about getting a money order in dollars? Is it the same as a postal order?

We absolutely NEED this to happen if we are to have eternal happiness. Let us make it so.

Here's some info about it on wiki:

The part about the Cyberdrome version (although there are one or two games where you have to get back out before winning).
