The Energon Pub

The stock piece that connects to the handle of mp05 of the upgrade accessories pack was stuck and didn't want to come off, so i applied excessive force, slid off across my thumb's knuckle joint and cut me in more than one way of awesome.

I thought about cursing. I felt my pupils dialate in pain.

Instead i said something different. instead i said, "God i Love Hong Kong!" (or wherever justitoys is located thanks to their toy safety laws that do not suck all the fun out of tf's )

so?.. what's your story?

Movie Brawl shot me in the eye once.
Other than that, nothing major really. Just cuts bruises & trouble. When I was younger Dinobot cut my finger, a bit of Inferno broke off & hit me in the eye, Primals rocket hit me in the other eye, & I got my finger trapped & injured in Armourdillo. More recently Jazz has given me minor cuts & scrapes, Blackout's forced me to run into a wall out of frustration when I almost broke him, movie Bonecrusher got me in trouble at work when I came in with paint covered hands after finishing repainting him before work & loosing track of time. I turned up late as well, wasn't a good day.
Urrrm, I think thats it, I really remember all these events vividly when looking at my display above my desk. Even though they were injuries they were fun times, especially when I was younger & the cuts seemed a thousand times worse. Hehe, fun times.

when I was a kid, nearly everytime I would activate the springloaded landing gear in Jetfire's nosecone it would whip up and smash into the nailbed of my thumb. I remember that pain sooo well.

I tried it again today and it was no big deal, barely touched me really, but as a child, I thought it hurt so goddamn bad.

So far, nothing...

But my TM1 Megatron got ripped apart at his waist...

When I was a kid my 4th of July Transformers vs. G.I. Joe battles involved Black Cat fire crackers...I set one inside Optimus Prime (Snakes Eyes, being a ninja, was able to sneek past Optimus' defenses and get a bomb planted) anyway, the fire cracker didnt go off and I waited a few seconds, went to go retrieve Optimus and it went off in my hand, nothing major just bled a little bit.

In hindsight that was a pretty stupid thing to do because Optimus is worth a good chunk of change nowadays!

i've been shot in the face many times by movie starscream and thundercracker

Modding is where I get in trouble.

In the space of a week, I cut myself 3 times, 2 bad ones, working on Robot Replics Megatron, Jazz, and Barricade. Sliced open the tip of my left middle finger, one of those little "talking" wounds that opens and closes like a little mouth when you flex the finger. Thought I might need stitches.

The bad one was a cut down the middle of my left thumbnail, length-wise. Got about halfway to the base of the nail, and into the nailbed as well. I have to keep it cut really short now bec. it kept getting hung up on stuff and tearing open again. It's much better now tho.

I think I need sharper blades. Ironically, sharper blades are safer, as you dont't need as much force to use them, and usign too much force causes blades to go out of control and your wife to roll her eyes at you.

Transforming Ultimate Bumblebee feels like wrestling with him...painful.

I;ve had some bad luck with g1 figs. Snapped off several peices of my Brawl while transforming him, and broke off a peice of my skylynx.

Doing my LED modification to Movie Recon Barricade, I burned the tip of my finger with a sodering iron trying to attach one of the LED's.

Wow. Sounds like you've been put through the mill


I remember a thread on these boards about someone who went out tf hunting and totalled his car and he had some broken bones as a result. I wonder if that counts too?

So far, no blood during transforming TFs. Just a few sore thumbs here & there. But i did get a clean paper cut off opening one deluxe class. THAT really made me curse... since then i've been spotless(i think i just jinxed myself).


Seibertron still rocks.

Laserbeaks head has been missing for years, I think as a kid I pulled too hard on the head portion, Soundwave runs around with a headless bird! LOL

My 20th Anniversary Primes knee broke today. To the point of superglue or buying a new one. It's the one that was manufactured back in 04

Well, I can't seem to stop pinching my finger every time that I transform movie Leader Prime.

The *pelvis piece on mine is VERY tight, so if the finger pressure alone doesn't hurt me ... the pinch does once it gives way. If no pinch, i'll slip off and punch his leg or something.

My RID Ultra Magnus went off and shot me in the eye. He's a hell of a shot because I wear glasses, so it was like a 1 in a million shot. I had that little red spot in my eye for like three weeks. We have since worked out our differences though, and I've let him come back in from sleeping in the yard.

Once when I was youg I was playing with some beast wars figures with some friends, And well we decided that they would fight only with projectiles. My friend fired one and It hit me in my mouth (It actually went in). I just remember coughing for a bit.

BTW,
I didnt swallow it, it bounced back out.

Oh the hell can you get yourself injured with TFs
Damn I read a bit of this thread and it just makes me laugh

It's pretty amazing how it all happens. I remember also hearing about some fellow seibertronians sleeping in bed when out of the blue, something like masterpiece optimus prime or unicron would fall off of something like a shelf or headboard and land on their face or etc. talk about a wake up call

I thought what happened to xOPtimUsZErOx was pretty bad too, as you can see here: http://www.seibertron.com/forums/viewto ... ight=&sid=

Lots of thumb sores Transforming guys, Barricade, and i broke up 08 BB into 3, wait 4 sections transforming him He's still alive, in 1 piece now, but the Decepticons sure got the Allspark befor the did.

OP"Autobots! Transform and Roll out!"
BB *twitchy noises*

I mainly hurt myself when I customize. Cuts due to the hobby knife, burns due to glue gun, etc.

dvd prime falling on my foot and breaking 2 of my toes ....

havent we all???

nothing so far for me. As for my dog, he has gotten shot by missiles from FB Jazz, G1 Silverstreak and Prowl, which only startled him.
