The Energon Pub

I picked up deluxe Brawl to put on my shelf and I see something dangling down towards my floor. I couldnt figure out wtf it was at first til it landed and ran across my floor..it was a spider so I got down and punched it.

So it seems a spider was living inside Brawl..Then again I put him across my room and didn't touch it since I bought it a couple weeks before the movie was released..

Anyone got weird stories like this with their collection?

After watching the episode "Dark Awakening", I felt a presence around my MP Prime.

the spider was probably from china and sneaked into a brawl and was shipped over to the u.s.... it couldve released many germs, bacteria, and diseases that people in the states are not immune to. therefore causing an disastrous outbreak that calls for quarantine and decontamination of millions of americans. but thankfully, you punched the spider, thus avoiding this whole fiasco. good for you!

lmao..oh my Primus dude..I didnt have anything nearby to kill it with so I had to punch it..Maybe he boarded my Darth Maul ship first, saw Brawl and snuck into him.Maybe I should check my other TFs near Brawls old resting spot. I got Alt Prime and RID Tardimus Prime over there.

Holy crap Brokaw!!! You're almost up to 1000 posts since your join date in mid July. How do you plan to celebrate? On your thousandth one you should post a pic of your collection. Or have you done that already?

I feel as though I've watched you grow up right before my very eyes considering that I only joined two days before you.

My G1 version of movie Starscream likes to take potshots at my husband when he is in the room. I don't know how it happens. He's just standing there until I hear the missle and see it laying on the floor near my husband....

It's happened twice that I remember right now.

I always pose my Classics Mirage in positions other toys can't normally hold, but the problem is sometimes the leg joints are too loose, so when I have one-legged poses, the other leg tends to weigh down on the joint.

Well right now it's in a "high kick to the head" pose, which initially I could not for the life of me do correctly without gravity getting the best of the raised leg.

Then I posed it next to Deluxe Brawl, so it looks like Mirage is kicking Brawl in the head. It's been two weeks now and the leg's in the exact same position it always was.

A hidden message by my toys perhaps?

The Chinese spider could have spawned new species of spiders in American soil. Given the inter-breeding, and the new environment.

Then we may have a new breed of Spiderman too!

Now that makes you think if it is an honorable action to squash that foreign spider.

I had a weird one too.

I bought Longarm Japanese version, a couple of days ago. Yesterday, i've finally decided to open him up. As it is unethical to keep a TF imprisoned for too long after he found a home.

After popping him out of the bubble, i notice some weird shadow of some sort swiftly flew pass the window to my right.

As i am normally not affected, and do not really fear supernatural stuff, I just shrugged. Then proceeded to transform him.

Half way thru, this sizable chunk of some gray-blue thing fell off right between my legs.

It all happened to fast. I hardly had time to react.

It just went down and bounced to under the table. As if it was shocked too, and instinctively went into hiding.

I grabbed on a "piggy" flashlight from the desk, and went after it under the table.

I grabbed this unknown visitor, and it didn't resist. Not being able to see it clearly, until i brought it out to the light.

It turned out to be the right arm of Longarm, holding on to the weapon-pulley contraption.

The dam arm wasn't even attached to the robot! Crappy Japanese quality control!

That's all.

Let's all go watch The Grudge. Heard it was mighty scary.
