The Energon Pub

I think it would be nice to know alittle about the people on this page besides that we like transformers. So I made a quick video of my apartment. Maybe this could be the start of a thread where we can learn more about each other.

The ladies find me handsome.
I like to drink and am basically a Hedonist.
I'm a carpenter that currently builds movie sets. Well....have been for a while.
Love to draw and paint and am terrible at math. So being a Carpenter is an odd choice but i'm very creative so it makes up for it.
210 pounds. Blonde and blue eyed and a lean 6 foot 2 in height.
Like to read and watch sci-fi.
Like surfing and skating.
Love music in almost every shape and form to some degree.
Been with the coolest girl i've ever met in my life for the past year. Long time for me but she's a keeper. She's a firefighter. Or as i call it....a Firefightress.
Can be a cheap bastard but learning to not care about money so much.
Play guitar and bass.....not so well mind you but mainly for my own enjoyment. Till i'm drunk. Then all must suffer my musical styleings.
Like G1 over all else but buy new **** often enough.

Nice. Maybe we will get other posters now. Pleased to meet ya

Well lets see....

I love G1 Transformers especially the Japanese G1 cotninuity. My favorite characters are Rodimus Prime, Galvatron, Deszaras, Star Saber, and Dai Atlas. I am a husband and father of three (Two sons and a daughter). I am a big Anime fan and an 80s fan, so I collect a lot of Anime and a lot of 80s cartoons, 80s music, 80s movies, and 80s TV series. I also collect a good bit of 80s toys as well as current toys. I served six years in the U.S. Air Force from 1995-2001. I am also a military brat, my dad was in the Army for 20 years, my Grandfather was in the Air Force for 20 years, my uncles were in the Marines and Army and even my grandmother served a few years in the Navy. With all that said I like a lot of things that are military based, like G.I. Joe and I collect them religiously. My wife is a Hello Kitty and Anime junky and the kids are obsessed with Spongbob and Phineas and Ferb or something like that. Anyway I am a laid back kind of guy with a serious sarcastic streak. I love roleplaying and video gaming and I eagerly await the release of the MMORPG "Star Wars The Old Republic"...BOOYAH!

Hmm. Well, i am a fan of every Transformer series except for Energon ( ), and in High School. I'm shooting for a career in Video Game Design. I'm also a pretty damn good Yu-Gi-Oh! player, and i've mastered the Dark Alchemy deck. I love to read, and not only do i have an amazing capacity for History & Pop Culture trivia, but also an iron stomach. I can eat almost anything except oysters. .

What more could you want to know? We're all a bunch on nut jobs here! Just kidding. Some of us aren't so bad. I'm one of the nut jobs.

I ride a 2006 Night Rod that's been lowered to accommodate my short legs, been riding since 98, but been around motorcycles my whole life. Also have a small collection of old Harleys - two panheads and a knucklehead. Yep, they run.

I graduated from college with a degree in graphic design, but after 10 years in the biz, decided I wanted to be more on the cutting edge. So now, I'm a drive test examiner. Contrary to popular belief, I don't like to fail people - had to fail a 90 year old just today. That sucked.

Been in love with Transformers from the beginning - yeah, I'm old - and my first brush with literary fame was getting a fan letter published. I forget which issue - 53 or 58 - it's the one with the cover that reads "Mayhem at the Mall!"

I've got two Jack Russel terriers - they're funny! And a cat. She's 17 and not very funny.

I also like to head up the mountains in my Jeep whenever possible - there's nothing like getting up to 12 or 13 thousand feet and looking down at the world below!

"What kind of dining set defines me as a person?"

I drink a lot of coffee. I love the stuff.

I moved out of my parents home at 18, went to a major University. I achieved a Shodan in Karate at 24, Nidan at 26 and I hold a Shodan in Aikido as well. I got my Masters degree in Urban and Regional Planning by 25. By 28 I became a AICP certified planner. I work in local governement and write legislation and do research for my department.

I play a lot of Street Fighter and I'm pretty good.

I'm married and have been for about 2 years, though I was with my wife for 7 years prior to us getting married. She's awesome and is working on her PhD in Chemical Engineering. I've made an agreement that when she has finished her degree, I will call her "Doctor" in public if she addresses me by my academic title of "Master".

Outside of work, I swear constantly. I think it's funny. It's not uncontrollable. I just think it's funny.

I am a writer, as in it is what I love to do. I like telling stories. When life settles down for us, I plan to take a year or two and have a go at it in a professional sense.

I have started collecting anime figures lately and scaling back portions of my TF collection where I find I don't have a genuine love of a line. That being said, I've started to value the escapism that the genre provides in a way after so much politicing at work.

Anyway, since a video was posted, this is a video I took of my den. This was shot over a year ago and is a really incomplete look at my collection. (though it does take over 5 minutes to film the room.)

I shouldn't apologize for being like..."No no, there's more than what's in the video, I promise!" but that's how it is. Enjoy the badass soundtrack.

What's there to tell about me, I'm boring

Ok, I love anything robot related, but actually only collect Transformers. I do plan on expanding my scope to other lines, especially Super Sentai or Power Rangers and the Yuusha series.

I can speak a crapload of languages: Dutch, English, German, French, Spanish, and I can read and translate Latin and ancient Greek. I'm currently learning Japanese (I'm a Japanophile) and plan on learning Chinese (both Mandarin and Cantonese) and ancient Egyptian, as well as Russian. I guess I love non-Latin alphabets

Outside of Transformers, I like to bicycle. Other than that I need to get back into reading and drawing. I'm quite good at drawing according to my peers.

Retro is my thing, as I enjoy 80's music, NES games and old DOS games from the early 90's. I'm stuck in the past, deal with it I actually am in the progress of planning a video game, with Sonic and Mega Man mechanics. I used to be part of a gaming community for the old DOS game Jazz Jackrabbit, I even used to make levels for Jazz Jackrabbit 2!

Finally, I'm autistic, diagnosed at 16. I'm a mild case, the only problems I have is with communication and expressing myself in words. I also freeze up when dealing with something unknown, or ambiguous situations without clear step-by-step instructions. As a consequence, I'm declared 80 to 100% unfit for work and am currently reintegrating by working in the Rotterdam city archives. On the flip side, I absorb information quite rapidly if I see it over and over and I recognise patterns and details quickly.

O yeah, I like furries and am an online crossdresser. I'm just 50% girly, is all

I was born in 1979. I grew up with the G1 cartoon. I had some Transformers growing up, but not a ton. My collection of 233 now is made up of G1 figures and new stuff that references the the G1 cartoon cast.

I drive a 2000 Pontiac Trans Am and a CBR 600. They have enough after-market parts to make them go pretty fast.

I attended a small private college. I played basketball there and was in a fraternity.

I am a teacher, by profession.

I snowboard 3 times a week in the winter, play basketball 6 times per week, and play on a softball team in the spring.

I also play my Xbox 360 a lot.

Well, I've collected since first year of Uni when my mate Tim bought me a Galaxy Force Vector Prime after we'd spent a few weeks recovering from hangovers by watching the G1 Cartoon and Cybertron. I'll probably never forgive him

I graduated with a First-class in Biotechnology a few years back, I'm fascinated by genetics and cell biology. I love that my PhD lets me do a mix of genetic manipulation and just chilling out and growing plants.

I've been a painter and decorator, a mobile seed processing technician and worked at a slaughterhouse. I now keep pigs as pets, because they're awesome, and because it beats killing them!

The idea of being expected to marry and have kids soon scares me.

I love writing music and playing in bands, I play a couple of instruments but I'll always end up absent-mindedly clutching my acoustic in my room.

I'm good at not dying, I've been stabbed, impaled and I've been hit by three cars. I'd say I've come to terms with the idea of death, which I reckon is good, but I'm a little jumpy around roads, which is frustrating.

I like beer, a lot.

EDIT:
This is me BTW!
