The Energon Pub

I've got a God Ginrai and a few other reissue bits & pieces to pay for so I haven't got any movie toys yet.

But in about a month when I have the dough for it I'll buy:

Leader Class Optimus Prime
Leader Class Brawl (once he releases)
Voyager Black Out
Deluxe Wreckage
Deluxe Baracade

And that's basically the only toys in the line I like... oh yeah I'll probably buy a Voice Changer Helmet too, if I see one in a sale - Anyone got one of those yet?

Of the actual movie bots the only ones I really like are Brawl & Ratchet. Brawl was disapoint with the floppy arm situation, and Ratchet ended up being much better than I expected. Prime is pretty good too, and I like the robo vision version better than the Leader class one, but I will pick up the leader one if not for the chance to have a more robust version.

So far I have caved and actually gotten more movie toys than I was planing on. So far I have:

Ratchet
Brawl
Robo vision Prime
Blackout
Jazz
Bumblebee
Baricade.
Bonecrusher

While Im not too big on Starscream I might pick him up.

The real gear line I really like and got all those. Robot heros are pretty nice for being such simple little things.

I wil probably pick up a few of the movie game figures too. It kinda sucks that those designs were not put in the movie.

I think that the movie toyline is great, but i'm more interested in teh actual movie characters...but I do like that tow truck... its nice!!

I planned to stick to just bumblebee stuff. the only bumblebee toys i don't want/don't have are the movie legends and cyber slammers(yes i have the cyberstomper haha). i'm starting to break, and bought speed dial 800. I'll probably pick up Barricade bonecrusher and blackout. if i really go overboard i'll buy ratchet and ironhide. I have no use for the non movie figures or energon repaints. I'm pure G1 for the most part but like some new movie characters.

I plan on getting the toys for the characters who are in the movie. The only exception to this will be any female toys that are released like the Arcee figure. I want more femmes in my collection.

i am going completist on real gears and loc's, getting a fair ammount of dx's, picky on voyagers, 9goes to excell to buy sheet) only getting the frenzy revoltech and am not going out of my way to get the repainted basics but i would like them. and it still is going to come in at £/$150

Not going to get any. I don't want to support this movie and the designs really don't appeal to me, anyway (although a few could be saved with different heads).

I could care less if a given toy is of a character actually in the movie. For me, it's "Is that toy worth my $10 (or however much)?" As an example, Wreckage, Deluxe Jazz, and Robovision Prime both came out on the 'Yes' side of the equation, while Barricade and Blackout both came out 'No'.

I like some of the Real Gear figs (Zoom Out and Longview, for example) but not others (like Spyshot 6), and others (like Booster / 'Laserbeak') I'm rather on the fence about.

And don't get me started on Bonecrusher... Ugh, if I EVER got it, I'd imagine it was an update of a Junkion... >.<
