The Energon Pub

Well I've never bought three transformers in three days before, but this weekend I did, and I'm pretty damn pleased with all of them. On Friday I bought Movie Legends Barricade. I think someone already started a thread about this guy so I won't go on about him, but he is really cool. I'm a big fan of the Legends class, and this little dude definately does the line justice.
On Saturday I was lucky enough to find Titanium Series 6" G1 Ultra Magnus in the John Lewis in Sehffield for £9.95! Not buying him would have seemed like a crime, and, apart from a slightly wobbly left arm, he is a damn fine toy, one of my favourites I think.
The final purchase was the first non-minicon Classics toy I've bought. After spending about 10 minutes in Forbidden Planet trying to decide between him and Cliffjumper, I eventually went for Bumblebee, purely because he's a bit less of a nob in the cartoon, and I'm very happy with him. His transformation is satisfyingly challenging, his detailing is lovely (right down to the carseat kneepads and the slightly wonky-angled Autobot heat symbol) and random though the jetski trailer feature is, it does make him look really awesome in robot mode. Plus, he can hold Titanium Magnus' gun- bonus!

All in all, a good weekend for Transformers. Did anyone else make any cool purchases in the past few days?

I bought the Bumblebee movie figure again because my first one broke, And i got Ironhide and jazz yesterday aslo from the movie line. Right now the only figures that i see in the stores are movie figures. I guess they took the other ones down for now to make room for the TF movie figures. Not that im complaining becasue these movie figures kick ass! I like the movie designs much better then the originals.

You should go back and buy Cliffjumper too, looks better than BB out of package.

I tend to agree.

I completed my mixed up energon bruticus maximus. He sports two green tank arms a yellow tank leg and the orange copter for the other. Screwy but it looks cool. At bot con I got my 3rd club combiner limb so I paired those w/ the torso and 1 limb to finish energon superion maximus. They're all red so they look even better.
