The Energon Pub

Thanks Cobotron! I actually just went hunting yesterday And while I didn't find the new figures, I found all of the protectobots. I got Streetwise, Blades, and Frst Aid so that completes Defensor for me! Does anyone know how to upload pictures from an iPhone? I have tried but it says the file is too big and I don't really have any other way to post pictures.

Hey Joe. Great score! Hot Spot gets a bad wrap sometimes for being a junky torso, but I think he is awesome. The whole team is awesome.
The best way to do photos is to use a photo hosting site. I use photobucket.com, but others use imgur.com. I believe there are a few others. Photobucket has a nice iphone app that I use on the fly.

A little hint though. iphones take HUGE pictures. It's best to upload photos that are 500 to 600 pixels wide. Photobucket has a size editor built in, or Photoshop always works.

Hope that helped.

P.S. My G2 Bee came in yesterday. He is AMAZING!

I would suggest using an off site like photobucket or somethimg similar. Seibertrons size restrictions are pretty tight. You have to severly reduce the size of photos to upload them here.

I use photobucket and have the app on my phone so I can upload to themand then just link the image here.

Yeah my phone takes hugh pics as well. When i was still uploading to the site, I had my camera set to VGA resolution, so I could upload on the fly.

I like Hotspot more than defensor, you can do such fun things with his ladder backpack. Have you seen the thead that has hotspot making fun of one of the g1 6 changers? Its pretty funny actually.

I was eyeballing that g2 bee on amiami just the other day. They still had them for about 40 usd, but i think I would prefer the g1 flavored one. Didnt you get a super deal on yours?

Mornin' C! Good answer.

Did you score any Ark Bots?

He was $40.37 with SAL shipping. It took 21 days for him to get here.
The gold is really cool, and just soooos ya knows, he comes with all three faces and optional G1 or G2 emblem stickers. So you can make him G1y. For the price you kinda can't beat it. I don't think you'll find the 1st release that cheap, but I'm also sure Hasbro will release him at some point.

Howdy! I did not, but I scored a Beastbox minicon.

Found that silly hotspot thread.

Hahaha, I saw that we both swooped in to answer Joe's question.

Now its time to go catch on some of that caffiene daddy needs his medicine.

Congrats on getting front paged. I had a pretty good feeling those shots would be news worthy.

Thanks! I'll give that a shot.
That's awesome your Bee came in already! I'm still waiting for mine to ship. I paid amiami two days ago and am using EMS so hopefully it ships soon.

Also just so you know Cary, I got my G2 Bumblebee shipped with EMS for $45. It's my understanding that EMS is much faster so to me $5 more is worth it.

I can't seem to figure out how to shrink the picture I just took on the photobucket app. Is it under the crop section? I tried cropping it down but it still says it's too big.

Just use the direct link. Click the share button, then copy to clip board.

Paste the url in between the IMG tags. Use the button up top of the reply.

I post large unedited images.



Quote me to have a look at how it works on the back end.

Thanks Cary! Let's give this a shot.
Here is a pic of my new Defensor looking bada**. Thanks for letting me test this out here Cobotron!

No prob Joey Primo. And yes, he does look BADA**!

So the last two weeks have been rather intense on the acquisition front for me.






MP Bee finally completed his 21 day journey from Japan.
Muddy made a come back, minus the factory defect. Thanks Jenni.
I scored all 4 CW wave 4 deluxes.
And acquired waves 1 and 2 RID mini-cons and Deployer Fracture.

It's time to switch gears. Acquisition mode to play mode. In fact I think I'll just sit back and wait for all the pre-orders I have to come in for the rest of the year.

I did open Bee since I snapped those above pics.
HE IS ABSOLUTELY FANTABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't decided whether I wanna put the G1 or G2 insignias on him. What do you all think?
I love love love the gold. My 1st reaction was, WHOA, he is tiny. I love having a classic beattle. Reminds me of the super detailed Corgi toys I had as a kid that Gramps used to give me.
His transformation is amazing, and robot mode kills it! It's battle mask for me. I like my MPs on the toy accuracy side. The jet pack is really cool, but I like the spare tire even more. It's a really sweet little extra touch.

Joey Primo - I told you he was at least deluxe size before. He is smaller than deluxe and scales awesomely with Deluxe figures. I think you will be super happy with your decision.

You planted the seed buddy. After a long Skype sesh with ol' Billy Jim, talkin' baby talk, I pressed him a little.
Didn't know he was gonna paraphrase my critique too.

Reporting live from the Collect-O-Tron, I'm Cobotron. Stay classy whale's vagina.

NP. You know it's never to late to set up your own thread. Just don't be surpised when a bunch of random *hooligans show up and start posting crazy stuff.

Let me know if you need any help. I hooked Va'al up with an Air Raid for his Superion, and honestly, with shipping, I don't think it came out to too much more than what you would pay retail on Ye Olde Island.
think about it. I'd be happy to.

As the quid continues to reem the dollar.

I feel like I need to pick up MP G2 Bee! I never had the G1 when I was a kid, I had Goldbug and eventually I had Pretender Bumblebee (still have both), but when G2 came around I picked him, Jazz, and Beachcomber up at the same time. Loved the gold then, and I bet I would now!

Awesome job on the news, thought that was pretty cool

And now that everyone is here, GALVATRON IS ERRYWHERE!! I can't wait. Returning lil Galvy to my avatar.

You really should think about it hard. With the prices coming out of Japan, you won't regret it at all. Your little history story there sounds like the perfect reason.

Thanks chum!

Watchu talkin' 'bout Crampus? Did you git a new action figure?

Been reading the comings and goings...and the only thing I can focus on; is AG giving Cobs what sounds an awful lot like a drag name...


I am feeling betterish Cobs thanks for asking. Still waiting on some tests to come back you know how doctors are...test test test.

I totally have G2 bee fever...and Galvatron fever (like Itscram)too since thefe are so many 3Ps coming out with him...

Been good! Got away this weekend with MrsCramtastic (our first overnight away from our baby girl!!) to a wedding of some good friends. Good times had by all. I was the only one who wore a bowtie (yes, tied it myself) out of 180 people! And the bride made me a custom napkin from Silver Age Marvel Comic cloth (she's very artistic)
