The Energon Pub

Oh, and if you felt a need to sell, say, 6 of them, you have a buyer

I have 6 Has-sharks, and 6 Shark-Tak-cons (not to mention Sharkticon Megatrons as bruisers), but more foot soldiers never hurt anyone

Holy sharkticons

BBTS POL came in yesterday!

I'm not jealous, I'm not jealous, I'm not jealous...


That's freakin' awesome!! You better show us your armoured-up Bruticus and some shambled together Toxitron combiner

That Bruticus armor really makes the difference!! I have the black version for Ruination and it is great!

also, that SG Starscream...

Sweeeeet haul -- can't wait to see those in more pics!

Let us know how you like that Toxitron! The head takes some getting used to but he is, overall, awesome. Combine him!

Also would love your opinion on the Fort Max upgrades.

Oooooookay... busy weekend... more stuff... but catch up first!

I don't know! I gotta see what they look like on Hasbysweeps... then who knows. Maybe I'll just buy a couple extra Takara Scourges for them, to be his... iunno.. elites?

Sooo maybe 2? Or maybe all 20 after buying 20 more Takara Sweeps

Trust me, I've had many offers
And it'll be a while before I decide!

Since I don't even know where my Takara Bruti is, that'll be a while
And to be perfectly honest, I have zero interest in combining Toxitron... as he's exactly that: shambled together. I feel they stand on their own well enough. All that said however... what's the team? Tox, SS, Counter, Bluestreak(?), and Impactor?

Pics might be a while. I haven't opened half of my stuff recently, already added more to the pile, and plan to do nothing but nap and sleep tonight

THEYREAWESOMEBUYTHEMALL.

But to elaborate, each one is worthwhile and adds to the figure immensely. The gun is something he shoulda had all along. I don't have the PE sword since I have the Takara sword, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted anyways since it's so nice. The hands are SO nice, and I initially wasn't even going to use them. The tummy guns complete his G1 look. And I haven't opened or installed the feets yet, but they look good.

I was thinking of getting all the Metro upgrades, but tragically the whites don't match

Toxitron, Counterpunch, (Blue) Bluestreak, Impactor and Fractyl.

Though the fiction showed an alternate combination whereby Alpha Bravo and Offroad replaced Impactor and Bluestreak

Weird. So what's the deal with SGscream then?

Just an extra limb like Botcon Terrorsaur

SG Starscream = Redwing, in my book.

SG, yuck.

You sir have struck me deep...

I got nothing against SG, but it doesn't terrible interest me. Maybe if it were included in some sort of fiction (besides a handful of Botcon comics I mean) I'd probably buy into it. I did however feverishly put together my own squad of SG BW Predacons when I realized they existed!

So there was a local meetup of TF fans this weekend. And well, I bought stuff. Cause I'm weak





DOTM Lazerbeak, First Edition CJ, Classics Onslaught, GDO Swerve, Alternity Ultra Magnus, TR Grotusque, Night Something Ratchet, and finally that MP Grimlock I was grumbling about a few months ago.

That's a lot of stuff for one meetup. You on a roll, son.

Also, Grotusque is fantastic.

Nice! My favorite vintage store hosts a meet & trade every month but I don't have much I'm willing to trade....I'd buy though.

The concept of SG isn't really my thang, but I still love the look of 'em. Especially dat SG Optimus & SG Drift.

Grotusque is awesome!!

And MP Grimlock... one that's been on my radar but one I've yet to get

Hey Shaj!!

All, please take note of Cram's sweet kicks.

Oh yeah, and Spidey too.

Yes. 10000000% agreed. Grotusque is friggin awesome.





The mold suits him better than Captain Dragonface, and he gets all kinds of bonus points for sheer ridiculousness.

Also, I've been a fan of this weirdo ever since Thew's review of his G1 version...

"What's a Wheeljack?"
No problem.
"What's a Soundwave?"
Easy enough.
"What's a Grotterskew?"
*sigh* Eat your vegetables.

Those shoes are dope!

And you hadn't seen SMH until now?? Zoinks!

That review is one of my favorites! It is the reason I've kinda wanted a G1 Grotusque
