The Energon Pub

[Powersa]

On my way home today, there's a Family Dollar store that has 10% off everything where I purchased the following Universe TFs:

Acree
Doom-Lock
Windrazor
Mini Con team Perceptor

[DorkimusPrime]

Doomlock looks more like Grimlock than teh Classics Grimlock does.

[Rodr-Evil]

Reissue purple Galvatron finally!

[MagnusPrimal]

Titanium Cheetor from Target.

[Noobatron]

Double Pack - Ultra Magnus vs Skywarp

Did you get this on Ebay or did you actually find it in a Target? Want!

[JSTATION3]

Scout-class Arcee from Target (of course) and Final Battle Jazz from Walmart. Spotted Leader Brawl at Wally, pretty darn cool. Wife's buying me 20th Anniv. DVD Prime for my birfday...

[Ninja Sixshot]

[Hotrod]

I almost forgot about my $.35 Armada Airrazor missing minicon and the front part of both wings. Nice addiction to my parts collection.

Went to walmart tonight, and really didn't find anything i was looking for. Did pick up a voyager class (Movie) Prime, and Cybertron SmokeScreen. Already had the Voyager Prime, but picked another one up anyway. This walmart had 30 of them.

I bought me another Classics Ramjet. Gave his waist and thighs to Titanium Soundwave. Gave Ramjet Soundwave's thighs and knee joints. Going to repaint Ramjet into Dirge.

I just won a classics Megatron on ebay. I'm so excited that I won that item since I've never had a Megatron toy in my life.

[Darth Screamer]

[Roadbuster]

Well I won an auction for a G1 Grimlock and Seaspray. I've also got Omega Supreme and Slag coming.

And just the other day my G1 Snarl and Sludge arrived.

[SoundStang]

I did my usual checking of the Target, the 2 Walmarts, and the TRU here in Dover and I was able to find (in a 4 day period) : Voyager Megatron, Voyager Prime, Leader Class Brawl, Movie Thundercracker,Rescue Rachet, Titanium Cheetor, Movie Deluxe Payload, Dropkick, Recon Barracade, Dreadwing, & Longarm, Battle for the Spark Legends class TRU exclusive, Real Gear Nightbeat 7, High Score 100, Wire Tap V20, Meantime, and Robot Heros Movie Bumblebee vs Barracade, Prime vs Blackout, Jazz vs Frenzy, and Rachet vs Megatron. WHOOO HOOO!!! What a haul for me.. But still no Movie Arcee or 08 Bumblebee... Hopefully soon!

Last few aquisitions:

Monday:
G1 Reissue Skywarp (sadly with nipple cone, bought in TrU)
Movie Barricade (surprisingly fun, bought in TrU)
G1 Encore Soundwave (great apart from the wonkily applied faction symbol, arived in the mail from Xybertoys)
WSTF Hot Rod (wow, arived in the mail from Xybertoys)

Saterday:
A particularly fat envelop of Reprolabels for verious WSTFs. Most I have now applied, and with the exception of a barly noticable loss of gold on one of soundwave's stickers and a sadly very noticable loss of silver on one of thrust's stickers, they were all to the normal high standard. (And BOY do they make a difference!)

Sunday:
Titainium WWi Megatron (Really nice robot mode, distinctly laclustre alt mode and transformation, bought from Wilkinsons)
Classics Mirrage (I was utterly surprised by how nice he is, bought from Wilkinsons)

And relax.

Just got Leader Class Brawl, who doesn't get opened until my birthday in November, or possibly Christmas.

Also got Dreadwing and Payload.

Payload - I think mine has a slight flaw, there are three parts I think would normally be glued on that are just held on loosely with pegs - they pop off readily whenever I handle him. It would be easy enough to fix, I just haven't decided if I actually want to - it makes for one of the best battledamage gimicks since Jurassic Park.

Additionally, his extendable-belly-arm-gimmick is actually pretty cool - the claw is well concealed in front when not deployed, and is large enough to actually grapple stuff. Unfortunately, when retracted, it means the figure has an enormous bar jutting out of his back, which just looks absurd. Also, the claw is only closed when fully extended, which means he can't grab something/someone and drag it towards him. And his transformation makes some Alternators look preschoolish. Lots of pluses and minuses with this figure, not much in between. Honestly though, if they do a good repaint of this figure, I may be getting him a partner.

Dreadwing - I got him because the Seibertron gallery made him look a lot better than the promotional art did. I don't regret it. His transformation and quasi-automorph gimmick are good. His robot mode doesn't at all fit his tech-spec, but he does look like a Decepticon Pyromaniac. He has a thuggish, violent build, and the jet flames amount to the best use of transparent projectiles on a Transformer, ever.



I know a lot of people loath the lens-eye look on both these figures, but I like it. I certainly wouldn't want every transformer to look like that, but in the grand tradition of Shockwave and Whirl, it's good to have the odd-ball. Makes me almost want to get Swindle just to go with the other two actually. Almost.

I got lucky and found a Titanium War Within Megatron while I was on vacation last week. Lameass alt mode, but the bot mode is sweet, apart from the loose fusion cannon. And what's up with the weird clip on the back?

[Starscream's Girl]

Tonite I got Ultimate Bumblebee, G1 colored Jazz, and G1 colored Starscream.

[Hyper-Chicken]

This morning I picked up Recon Barricade, Rescue Ratchet and Thundercracker all from WalMart. Later in the afternoon I picked up a Heroes of Cybertron Bumblebee at KB toys.

[Kanyon]

Went to get the DCPI of Voyager Prime and Robovision checked and no Target within a 100 Mi radius had either but they did have G1 deco Starscream and Jazz, picked those up. =D
