The Energon Pub

Okay, from the latest newsletter we know that the next figure will most likely be a red and blue translucent redeco of Energon Blackout.

Anyone have a favorite name they'd like to see on him?

I'm going with "Crossblades", it's a classic G1 name, but not used since.

Just Blades would be nice. or Hightower. Or they can make it a Go-Bot homage and call him Flip Top.

Although Whirl also works

Crossblades, Sky High, Chain Gun are all fine by me.

But what about a name that hasn't been used recently? Dropshot anyone? (Was meant to be a triple changer, but never made it to production in g1). The name was later used for a micromaster. That triple changer I mentioned had a few scenes in the Armada comics dreamwave put out (I'm like 90% sure its the one with g1 bludgeon in it).

yeah thats what I thought too. He looked bad ass. I wanted that toy to come out like the way they showed him in the comics. He looked cooler than jetfire.

Hightower is just a step above CLive. Why did you choose that?

I'm thinking Whirl, Crossblades, Spinister, Powerdive, Vortex, Blades...but hey, I am a CLASSIC kind of guy.

Rotorstorm.

Sounds menacing, and it's a Turbomaster name!

Whirl.

Coz G1 Whirl also had a huge cockpit on his torso...

For instance, if the colour scheme was like this:

Well, he's going to be colored just like Skyfall. He'll have the translucent blue for the overall helicopter and body parts, while the thighs and other secondary robot parts will be red/maroon.

Also, since he is the other hand, he'll have a clear transparent weapon like Breakaway.
