The Energon Pub

We always hear alot of figure bashing on all these threads and its natural with individual people's opinions. But what i wanna know is which figure may you have seen insulted etc.which made you say to yourself, "hey! i really like that TF!". A couple for me would be Movie Voyager Blackout(just love the color/character and detachable sword/heli blade posabilities!) and Classics Jetfire(Just damn beautiful IMO). Both of which i have read multiple negative comments on, but like i said everyone has a right to their opinions!

- Cybertron Evac. As far as helicopters go, I see a lot of love for Energon Bulkhead on here. Personally, I like Quickstrike. Much better colors. As far as a copter mold, though ... those two energon figs are inferior to Cyb. Evac, IMHO.

- Cybertron Cryo Scourge. I never hear anything about this TF. I'm not a fan of Beastformers at all, but this mold has a sensational bot mode. The cryo paint scheme is freakin' awesome, to boot.

- Cybertron Scattorshot (scout class). Completely bad ass. Even better than Armorhide.

BM Blastcharge
Big badass truck with a very inventive wheel stacking transformation.

Energon Snowcat
Great GIJOE homage and one of the few and possibly only snow based transformer toys

Armada Overload
Often referred to as a brick. That being the case, he is still amazing. Tons of detail, and an original transformation. I like my bots big and bulky and he fits the bill.

G1 Hound
G1 Prowl
G1 Mirage

it seems as though these characters don't get enough love from the fans and are rearly discussed about.

Not too sure if this is the case, Mirage certainly gets plenty of posts. I myself am quite frustrated with the KO scene around Mirage.

Nearly impossible to search for a genuine mirage with all the KOs clouding up the ebay waters.

Hound I agree with, that is a very cool and unique looking mold. He should get more attention.

Agreed. most people just hate him because his a big immovable red brick. but he's lots of fun, and he can combine with Armada Prime.

My second vote goes to Energon Optimus Prime. He might be a little chubby. but he combines with Wing Saber and that's just awesome. Maybe if his personal OP units had a more uniform color scheme he would look better. But still a fun toy to be had.

Classics Devastator
The movie Camera heads (all of them)
Classics Grimlock
Cybertron Smokescreen
Armada Sideswipe
Armada Hotshot
Energon Omega Supreme
Energon Optimus Prime
Energon Arcee

The list goes on, I really love all of those figures, but sometimes I feel as if I’m alone in that fact.

Energon Ironhide.

He just ain't as bad as y'all keep saying he is.

E-hobby Detritus, weirdest paint on a G1 ever.

Qouted for emphasis. So many people are missing out on these three gems (causing them to pegwarm like heck) just because they lack proper heads. For drones without personality, they are really nice figures and I rather dig their faceless appearance, remniscent of Nazgûl.

Why do I bet that half of the people who complain about how complicated the movie toys are have never even held Swindle in they’re hands.

Seconded.

I got all three molds of the camera heads and I love each one of them. I love Swindles bot and alt modes, they just look so cool, same goes for PAyload. Dreadwind is cool to, though I'll admit his legs make him look a little silly, but he's still really nice.

I also think that Voyager Black Out is pretty underrated. I really like this figure and he is one of the reasons I started colelcting again. When I say preview pics of Black Out and Barricade they were mny first must haves of my new collection and I went crazy trying to find them. But once I did it was all down hill from there as I snow balled back into full TF collecting frenzy!

I'll second that!

He's a brick, and the goofy head thing is silly, but he is fun and he is GREAT for kids getting into TFs. (large parts, easy transform) He is my Nephew's favorite!!

A far as characters go, Wheeljack doesn't get enough love. He got the Energon Downshift homage, and the Alt version *cough* wrong colors *cough*, but nowhere near as many versions as other 'bots have seen over the years.

Have to agree with Armada Sideswipe, my only gripe is that he's not a basic/scout so I can fit him in with G1 Prowl and co. Course most of the cars in recent years are the same.

G1 Megatron - for years I was put off because pics made his arms seem too small but took a chance shortly after getting back into collecting and he's my pride and joy

Laser Rods - molds crying out for repaints, especially Sizzle as Armada Red Alert
