The Energon Pub

Botcon recolors you've always wanted to see but know it's too late & impossible to release them now.

No holds barred,feel free to dig all the way back to when botcon first started.

List all the botcon recolored characters you always wanted to see get done from 1995 thru 2011.

Please feel free to list any size level,even though your gut feeling tells you it's impossible.

This thread is all about creative ideas,wishes & dreams. feel free to go over board & un-realistic. it's a fun thread.

Here's my short list:

1- Diatulas,using year 2005 Cybertron ultra sized Menasor toy mold.

2-Rodimus Prmal,using the year 1999 beastwars Transmetal two Tigrhawk toy mold.

3-Rodimus Prime,using the year 2005 Cybertron toy line leader sized Megatron toy mold. with a 100% new rodimus prime styled robot head.

(4) Fortress maximus,using the year 2005 Cybertron leader sized Metroplex toy mold. with a 100% new mold head that transforms into a humoanoid headmaster cerebros.

(5)Apeface,using the 10th anniverasary deluxe optimus primal new mold toy.

(6) Darkwing & dreadwind,using the two 2008 Animated safeguard combiner toys of jetfire & jetstorm.

(7)Sixshot,Using the Rid megatron 6/10 changer toy. with a new 100% robot head & maybe a 100% new beast head that looks like a wolf.

(8)Rid Sideburn,Using the Alternators sunstreaker dodge viper toy mold.

(9)Swindle,using the deluxe sized classics 2.0 Hound toy mold.

(10) Galvatron,using the year 2008 Animated voyager sized megatron toy mold. with a 100% new head styled after 1986 galvatron.

(11)Junkion army builder troops. using the Armada deluxe sizeways toy mold. toy seems perfect,as it has the minicon combiner humanoid rider. like the 1986 TF movie junkions riding each other in battle fights.

(12)Duocon Flywheels,Using the Year 2008 TF animated voyager sized Blitzwing toy.

(13)Bat Optimus Primal,Using the Beastmachines Ultra sized Nightscream toy moy. create a 100% new robot head mold that resembles the one used for 1996 Bat optimus Primal's robot head sculpt. Ofcause recolor the toy in various shades of blue,then add in the red high lights all over the toy. take away all the translucent clear parts & mold everything in solid plastic colors.

I would have liked to have seen the BW cast in G1 inspired colors. Similar to how they did the red bat and purple gator. Not exactly as the character. Maybe like some kind of weird universe shift thing where they're both.


Probably the season 1 molds.

Megatron - Megatron
Terrorsaur - Starscream
Scorponok - Soundwave (bee as buzzsaw)
Waspinator - Thundercracker
Tarantulas - Insecticon colors
Blackarachnia - Nightbird
Inferno - Shockwave


Optimus Primal - Optimus Prime
Rhinox - Wheeljack
Cheetor - Bumblebee
Dinobot - Jetfire
Rattrap - Brawn
Tigatron - Cliffjumper
Airrazor - Elita-1

I like your idea. it seems like it could exist in a multi verse/alternate universe. where the G-1 Characters became the beastwars characters.

A red repaint of Waspinator called "Red Wasp", in fact, I've got a BW Buzzsaw figure that I'm contemplating doing this with myself.

A white repaint of Binaltech Ravage as Tigatron would be cool (similar to how they turned X-9 Ravage/Jaguar into TM Tigatron).

A repaint of TM2 Dragon Megatron as his Beast Machines version would be nice.

One we might actually see (assuming Has/Tak doesn't do it first) - RTS/United Laser Prime/G2 Prime as Scourge.

A repaint of Beast Wars Neo/Beast Machines Magmatron in G1 Dinobots colors (gray, gold, chrome etc.).

Yet another repaint of the seeker mold as the purple 'generic' G1 seeker from the cartoon (I know CHMS did it, but an official version would be nice for troop building).

Generations Sideswipe/Sunstreaker mold repainted as Hot Rod with a new head.

Terradive repainted as pre-Beast Wars Depth Charge and/or Terrorsaur.

I'm easily pleased, I just want a Diaclone/e-Hobby themed classics set;

Blue Convoy, Blue Bluestreak, Marlboor Wheeljack, Black Ironhide, Red Tracks, Black Sideswipe, Red Mirage...

If they wanted to throw in Grapple as Hauler and Hound as Detritus, I wouldn't object either.

You get the idea...

I like your idea for a white tigertron based off the liscensed corvette binaltech/alternators ravage toy.

I've been asking/begging/wishing for a White tigertron based off the liscensed Jaquar alternators 4 Legged Ravage toy.

At one point I would have loved to have seem Energon Ironhide repainted/remolded into Throttlebot Wide Load. Still do kinda, but the urge isn't as big as it used to be.

A Jeep into a Dump Truck? Now that I'd like to see

Might as well use a few transormers with dump truck alt modes for Throttle bot wide load like as follows: Energon deluxe sized Demolisher. ROTF movie Demolisher.

I really wanted an Animated Activators Thrust from the Starscream mold. That would have made a great attendee give away. I was really disappointed that the Activators class was left out of Botcon.

Oops, I did mean Energon Demolishor. Don't know what I was thinking of (apparently Ironhide)

I thought as much. Armada Demolishor was called Ironhide in Japan, his upgraded form in Energon is called Irontread.

I'm guessing you meant to say "Super link" & Not "Energon".

or should have added "in Japan"

None, as it would entail pursuing Botcon prices.

Many of the repaints mentioned here have merit, but not as botcon figs... at least not for me.

A targetmaster box set. I wanted prowl as targetmaster stepper, but it seems like Takara already made it using the new RTS jazz mold...

And maybe add in Spoilsport from Gens. Kup, Pointblank from Cybertron blurr, Sureshot from classics mirage, Scoop from Cybertron Landmine, Artfire from Inferno, Spinster from DOTM Skyhammer, and maybe Quake from ROTF Bludgeon. That would be a great botcon

Quite sure it would never happen for botcon, as hasbro's too cheap to even put a few extra nightsticks in our boxsets, even though we're paying over $200 or them.

I also want a reflector, soundwave, and blaster from perceptor, though not as botcon exclusives.
