The Energon Pub

The snakas.blog has some pretty cool images from the Japanese hobby show Chara Hobby 2015 that is underway this weekend. This is our very first look at the upcoming Legends Ladies in their packaging as well as new Q-Transformers including a Decepticon Hello Kitty. These pictures also confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt that Ironhide's sled will be an extra piece not integrated with the alt mode.

Here is a list of what you will find in these pictures:

QT Halloween Hello Kitty
QT Evangelion Units 01, 02, 03
QT Skywarp, Starscream, and Thundercracker
QT Soundwave, Shockwave, and Cliffjumper
Legends Nightbird, Blackarachnia, and Slipstream in AND out of package
Unite Warriors Devastator
Masterpiece Tracks and Road Rage
Masterpiece Ironhide Prototype

Anyone notice Road Rage comes with Twincast? If it's been announced already, I missed it!

Ack! What happened to Q-Shockwave? He should have a purple vehicle mode and body!!!

Also Ryan, I am super glad to see you here. I was listening to the podcat (the one where rodimus sings) and felt a little sad when I heard that there are times you just want to share your thoughts on some news and your wife is not as enthused (as is mine). Feel free to always chat it up here with your online buddies who always have an ear for your thoughts Thats how I do it, thanks to you.

Wow, it looks like Nightbird is armed to the TEETH, as she should be. October can't come soon enough!

Even though I have Slipstream pre ordered, not importing her at the least the 2016-2017 Generations lineup would be a mistake.

Doesnt she just have the same 4 weapons Arcee comes with?

Ha, you mean like if Hasbro pulled a TAV line and just dumped everything they hadnt released yet. That would be fun.

Nightbird also has her sai's attached to her arms, so: 2 guns, 2 swords, and 2 sai's

Sorta, but I mean more for the fact, we don't have the post combiner wars generations deluxe line up. I'm sure the budget and and age for the figures would be acceptable for Slipstream at the least for late 2016-2017.

The post-cw lineup is titan wars insofar as we know

Yes I knew that. I meant in regards to if some of the deluxe figures would be regular style figures under the banner of generations titan wars. Or if they'd all be gimmick-ed figures like combiner wars. Provided if they the former, it'd make sense considering the title Titan Wars, it lends itself to larger figures having the gimmick, and the deluxes being normal.

I presume that they'll probably have gimmicks; but I don't usually get my hopes up about anything, it works better that way

I have a long post about it somewhere, but my reasoning for why i'm not particularly sure if they'll all be gimmicked is as follows. Basically because the title titan wars, and the art shown lends itself to larger figures, bases and headmasters, which tend to be voyager+ figures. Even the blaster leaked photo looks positively leader sized. Because of that, i'm not sure how the deluxe's would be gimmicked. I doubt hasbro would do smaller Headmaster Jr. Style figures, or make them all like cerebros for the extremely large headmasters. So in my mind, there's a possibility for figure like the 2013-2014 generations.

Thats a lot of Bang for your Buck! Sorry Wolfman Jake for not seeing those.

Yeah, she's the TT version of Salvia Prominon; it's pretty great - especially that color

Yes, just like this year's Legends (at least half) and Leader figure have nothing to do with Combiner Wars. And many legends are simply hold overs from last year's molds. So that would be the same thing with the deluxe class while the leader scale is getting the gimicks this time.

All these pictures do, is make me more excited about getting UW Devastator.

Oh, him, I always had more respect for him (his name is so epic) from growing up with BW - he certainly wasn't a kitty in that show

I like that designation for hello evil here better
