The Energon Pub

The '90s are back in a big way with that set! so much so that I had to wear my Converse AeroJams today!

All this funk and 90's love brings us to our next topic of business.



May Mayhem!
I've heard whispers that tomorrow is the day. Is it truth? Or is it rumor?
I'm wondering if there is a way we can band together as robo brodudes to make groovy dreams come true?
Do we think this will all go live at 12:00 midnight tonight? Is it more likely to follow normal business hours East Coast time? What do you know?

I have been happily tasked with facilitating this acquisition for our Canoodlian brothers to the north, and hope I can come through.
I will inevitably be up early, as my lovely wife is out of town, and I have not the bosom to sooth my toddler back to sleep.

Is there a way to keep the lines open, or are we gonna play this like a bunch of jerks, and every-man-for-themselves it?

Thoughts, comments, and concerns are welcome.

#1. Groove is in the Heart is my **** JaMm!

#2. Thanks for reminding me that CW Groove was a happening thing, I've heard the 24th as well.

#3. Why am I still numbering this ****. hubbababababah



#4. DERP

#5. Last time they released the special limbs it happened like 12am eastern or something like that. I was up late playing video games and saw the news post pop up that Amazon was selling them. I paused my game and ordered Wild Rider and Slingshot (or whatever you want to call them). EDIT: I was wrong about the pricing, must have been when I noticed the post go up.

#6. I've gone to far to stop now.

#7. I could swing buying two without raising too many eyebrows, maybe three...

#8. Most of you have some direct form of communication with me and vice versa, so that's probably the best way to play it.

#9. The goose drank wine.

That video really took me back. Haven't seen it in years. So many good feelings.

I will stay up till midnight tonight. I'd like to use Amazon. You know, Prime and all.

Care Care, do you recall if there was a quantity cap on those last dudes?

I listen to that song all the time. I likes a little dancey disco beat (I need to go buy some Scissor Sisters).

Anyway I don't remember. It was a late night impulse I wanna be cool purchase, but to be fair they have both become permanent members of their respective combiner.



So who is the retailer going be; will it be Amazon, HTS, the good which of the North? Or will it be like last time and they will be everywhere? Those guys were super easy to find for about a month if I'm remembering correctly.

I will not get deluxe Groove. Saving that mold for Afterburner so Computron has 2 new molds!

Aww Cobs. You're too good to us igloo'ers

I've pretty much convinced my parents to let me stay up so I can catch it, and I'm prepared to fight for him.

Well played D. I'd like to note that Groove will not usurp Rook or little Groove from their current Defensor stations. He will serve as an alt for the White Knight or Sky Reign.
Oh, and ... SUKKIT G1!

What can I say. I like you moose lickers.

So you're taking the every-dude-for-himself route? Great! there goes our East Coast Early Alert System.

Just kidding N.

I'm one of those crazy conservative redness with a lot of guns. Just sayig, a Groove had better be mine.......

Groove, even if I do get him, will not overtake those guys either. He would be a standalone, or a backup to Rook whenever I wanted Rook by himself, or another guy like first aid. Now, I do have 5 autobot car limbs, 4 on Lost Lightatron and a spare, so I could use whoever the spare is, but none of them are true protection vehicles, sooooo......

I did not see this coming at all but it made me laugh.

Oh and as an add-on to my previous posts about Groove, on a related note: if I can get the CW Strafe on say ebay separate, I will get him alone and put him with the lost light crew as well. FYI when that starts happening, I will be prowling

This must be bizarro world or something, cause when/if I get my hands on Groove he is going into his rightful place as a right leg.

The Rookster and AB will tear it up as the unstoppable free agent duo!

As soon as Groove is in hand, Rook goes on eBay. Unless I decide to use him as target practice.

What's wrong with Rook? He's an A-OK robo linebacker.

Yep. In fact, I'm so ready, I'd fight Ganon without a Silver Arrow in order to get him.

@Densh I'd keep Rook, if only to keep him as a standalone figure. Easily the best mold in the line.

He and AB are dirty imposters. If their respective teams were striking union workers, they would be scabs. Also, I'm old and don't like change.



Oddly enough, Off Road never bothered me.

I fully support this reference

I never got Sling or Wildrider, so I'm not on the jump for Groove either. Plus, I already have him in legends form and he makes a nice chest minion, so I keep him there. And Rook is an awesome arm and first aid a great leg, so it all works.

Moose lickers, Rednecks, back stabbers, liberal jerks...

This is why the Collect-O-Tron is a WONDERFUL place. We accept all kinds here.

I'm old too, but everyone's good enough for some change...

3 minutes 'til Groove, gentlemen.

I'm pretty sure Groove is not Cinderella

But then again he is a missing shoe
