The Energon Pub

PotP Leader Class Thunderwing (based on inner robot of G1 figure)/Thunder Mayhem (combined robot based on G1 shell's robot mode) with Matrix of Malice. Let's repurpose some of those FunPub names/ideas.

This. So much this.

Heck, any new mold leader-class PotP Decepticon would be nice.

You know what I want? A new, CHUG style Lockdown and some henchmen/mercenaries for him, all named after various military atrocities/secret weapons/war crimes. So for example...

Nitro Zeus (pretty much the TLK character made more CHUG-esque).

M.K. Ultra (a mind control expert, transforms into a "black van").

Agent Orange (a female chemical weapons specialist with an Oiran theme, transforms into a chemical-spreader aircraft).

Unit 731 (A biological warfare technician, who transforms into a tanker truck).

It'd be awesome but it'd never happen in a million years, as Hasbro probably aren't going to be able to sell a toy named after horrific biological weapons programmes (especially not in China).

This is why we need third parties.

I personally hope they mirror Optimus Primal -> Optimal Optimus with a Megatron -> Transmetal Megatron

But you know what would be even better? Megatronus Prime -> The Fallen

Think about it, menacing looking big deluxe Megatronus inspired by the Titans Return cartoon design with a leader class body based on the Dreamwave design. Considering the Power of the Primes plot seems like it honestly might be in the cards.

I can't remember if I posted this before or not, but I would love a Titan Class G1 Ark that transformed into Autobot City from the '86 animated movie. Technically, it wouldn't have a robot mode (unless they can think of a character for it) but that would be a cool piece to display, especially with Legends class figures.

Can't think of a character for it?

Autobot City has always been Metroplex and the Ark was Omega Supreme in Animated. Those are 1 to 1 connections.

Yeah I thought of those 2, but I believe the G1 Ark was much larger than Omega Supreme, so that wouldn't work, and Autobot City didn't become Metroplex until after the movie. But I guess that's just splitting hairs. It would be nice if Metroplex's 4th mode was The Ark. But would his size make it easier or harder to design a 4th mode for him?

I have to say, I wasn't collecting when animated came on, but my son and I loved the show (and now my daughter thinks it's cool to) and I loved the idea of the ark becoming an Omega Supreme, but I agree Rodimus, my Omega I always dreamt as being just a little shorter than Metroplex.

Eh, close enough.



I use it for my multiverse legion/scout display. It's nice for what it is.

You know, I remember seeing that in a big lots a while back, never thought of using it that way. Nice.

For real, guys, if you're doing Star Wars tfs again, can we PLEASE get some Rebels characters?

A G1-styled Scorn

Or how about a G1 styled Dimetrodon, Ankylosaurus and Styracosaurus, Deluxe Class?

Paddles...

But seriously MP Unicron, an actual sphere not with a "flatback".

Then again, aside from Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime, Takara/Hasbro doesn't seem interested in putting any of the Movie (and beyond) characters into the MP line.

Aside from collecting the MP Beast Wars and the other two City Bots (Metroplex and someday Scorponok) The only MP G1 character I want more than anything is MP Galvatron. They even teased him with MP-36 Megatron.. Why won't they just make him already? T_T
They could even get mileage out of the mold with a purple and a grey colour scheme.

Speaking of Unicron, am I the only one who want to own the G1 prototype?




I'd even settle for a super expensive exclusive of some sort.

I'd take one. The complete Takara figure, though believed to be smaller than Hasbro's, was looking like a fun little play set complete with a moon and a bunch of electronics of some sort. But yeah, I never thought he looked that bad from a G1 stand point.

Definitely want. As a kid there was no TF I wanted more. Weird that he never went beyond prototype, considering the entire film revolves around him. It's not like he wouldn't have sold like crazy across the globe, regardless of any price point at the time.

Bulldog (the WW1 tank Autobot) and the unnamed Hawker Hurricane Autobot from The Last Knight deserve toys. I'd like to think we're in with a chance from the Studio Series but I doubt it. The Hurricane I can kind of understand as it has very little mass to work a toy out of (not that it stopped them with ROTF Ransack with his Albatros DIII altmode) but Bulldog? A robot that turns into a huge block? Come on. I want me my 1918 armour goddamnit!

I mean, look at this thing! Tell me a kid wouldn't want that!

(Technically this is the wrong tank as Bulldog turned into a "Male" tank with 6-pounder guns, and this is a "Female" with machine guns. The body is identical though.)

Come on, Black Hat, a tank like this have too many complicated shapes to be even transformable.


...

I want a legends class mini cooper (similar in style to TR Roadburn/Brawn etc), a mini mini bot

& maybe this would be just for the diehards or limb wanters, four packs of the same CW figure painted differently featuring 2 autobots and tow decepticons:

Eg1 2 deceptions & 2 autobots from the following choices:
CW Dragstrip as rescue bots morbot, swindle (armada minicon), leadfoot/fracture
CW Dragstrip as RID mirage or machine wars or cthru/stealth mirage, G2 Speedstream

Eg2 2
CW Vortex as Blackout, G2 Rotorstorm
CW vortex as Cybertron evac, rescue bot blades or sandstorm

Masterpiece Impactor. Just to be as random with the MP line as possible.

An improved version of RiD Menasor, which, as well as the combined form and the five individual Stunticons, also has the ability to form Dragbreak from the arm guys and Heatmark out of the leg guys.

I think it's possible to be more random: Masterpiece Signal Lancer.

You know who I'd like to see done but has a negative change of hapenning? Guardian Prime. And odds are people are already going "Who...?". Guardian Prime is one of those less well-known Matrix Bearers in the category which never really got expanded into it's own character. Sentinel obviously got the most (even if it's to make him a prick) followed by Nova Prime (Who I guess is named after 'Prime Nova' and who also became evil). Then IDW invented Nominus Prime and fleshed out Zets Prime (both also dicks...starting to see a pattern here?). Of course there's Prima and Alpha Trion who are now part of the demigod-like Thirteen.

And then there's Guardian Prime. What does he do? What is he memorable for? Nothing, actually. He's one random Matrix carrier from Five Faces of Darkness later given a name. He's not even cool-looking, if anything he looks like a crappier Rodimus.


So why would I want this guy? Well, frankly I kinda want this guy made not for what he is but rather what he could become. If Botcon or the collector club still existed, somehow I could see him as a repaint of some other guy which vaguely look like him. But that isn't a bad thing. What I'm trying to say here is that any kind of look or personality which would pop out from whatever mold he'd be made of may very well be the starting point of finally acknowledging the existence of this 'Nobody Prime'.For all I know he could be a frickin' Roadbuster or Onslaught repaint for some reason and that would still allow him to gain more personality.

Plus, for what it's worth? According to Beast Wars uprising he's the founder of the Autobots.

Looks like the animation model the G1 Rodimus figure was based on.
