The Energon Pub

All by taste.

I enjoy gestalts alot and tend toward those, as well as headmasters and targetmasters.

The new ones all depends on style and feel of a series. I didn't have any beastwars until the transmetals, which i had like all of. Had only the vehicles (vehicons) from beast machines, almost all of RiD, all of aramada. Zero Energon and beyond. I like the strictly vehicle/G1 theme series.

I do not buy repaints unless there is a significant difference. I must have basically every Prime/Megatron. Bought almost all the classics, wanted the alternators but they were too much money and the transformations were too similar. MP's are must haves except stupid repaints.

Go with what I like, unless i really like a certain line and then i buy nearly all of them. There has been lulls in my purchasing because of this and during those times I may fill in the gaps with some reissues or G1's I've wanted forever. PREDAKING

When considering buying a figure, I generally grab those whose aesthetic appeals to me, or those who have a unique or novel look/. Then things like sculpting detail and poseability come into play. Finally, I factor in how many incarnations of that character I have.

1) Weaponry
2) Colour Scheme
3) What type of Vehicle it is(1. Racecars, 2. Jets, 3. Tanks..)
