The Energon Pub

Love the heads of the generations and the cybertronian molds. But why doesn't hasbro put more into it like takara excluding regulations parts. ??? I'd like to see a little click swivel at the knees so these guys can start standing ground differently. litterally. I'll definitely pass on the combiners... scout class with legends class looking stuff. I hate them ... sorry so cheap ....the transforming can be fun but most of those guys are ugly. Don't get me wrong Scapel, depthcharge, ransack are cool little dudes but not out of "vechicle" form. except the toaster i'm actually a little bummed seeing theses. i'll just wait for seaspray , leader starscream (even though takara will make one 5 times cooler i'm sure) and the other animated like rodimus.

I'll get some of the generations.

I think the Thrust positioning is more to show that it is different than the Botcon version than anything else.

I noticed. I REALLY hope it's a transformation error/quality control issue.

Am I seeing things, or are the new Generations deluxe figures fastened with paper ties?

Yup.

Seibertron: Are you guys looking into moving away from using so many twist ties?
Hasbro: We are looking to move away from them and moving towards smaller packaging which is more biodegradable. In the future you’ll see smaller packages with Tam, which is easier to cut and biodegradable.

I am impressed and happy that Hasbro decided to do that.

Even so, the wings are assembled upsidedown.

Thrust and Drift, maybe Prime and Bumblebee. The Combiners? Pass go, save 200 bucks.

Mine.ALL Mine.

I'm starting to wonder if that was done on purpose, to make it even more different than Gentei? I know what I'll be asking at Botcon this year

Given the misassembly issues with repaints we've had the past few years? I don't think so.

Power Core looks like lots of fun to me. I love those Mini-Cons.

is it just me or is the silverbolt wannabe standing on a jet and a helicopter and with some crap arms stuck to him come on hasbro do better
