The Energon Pub

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Eh, that's why you put them into some poses, and as long as he has 1 he should be able to pull it off mostly.

I just need to find a Leobreaker to form Savage Claw Mode, but I think I have one secured.

also, totally got a Cybertron Megatron coming as well. Energon is now the only show that I don't have a Megs/Galvs from now.

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Nice! I still need Energon as well.

I think I'm in for a rougher time than you. I want both the Megatron and the Galvatron from each series. And Energon and Cybertron Galvatron... Ow.

[Gauntlet101010]

Omega Supreme. Yep. I first got the YotS mold and was surprised at how much I liked it. Didn't think I would based on pictures, but it was really fun. Didn't replace him with Titan OS since I think he fits in better with my collection. Or he would if I still had the room.

Omega Sentinel is still on display though and I'm still glad I got him! He's hanging out with Superion, Siege Shockwave, Henkei black Skyfire, the felmale Autobots and a 3rd party Alpha Trion and Elita 1 as a sort of Neo G1 Cybertron display.

I'm the opposite. Got both from Armada, all three from Energon (thank you TRU for importing Super Link Megatron and deluxe Prime for us), but never touched the Cybertron leaders. I thought Megatron looked like a clown, and still do, but regret never getting him or the much improved Galvatron repaint since it leaves a gap in my collection of Decepticon leaders.

D-Max you should try and source the Universe Leo Prime repaint of Leobreaker the colourschemes compliment each other nicely.

I had the choice to get Leo Prime from Counterpunch when i got the other UT guys, but I want Leobreaker from that mold, I want the beastial head, to me he is the better use of the mold.

Fair enough I do prefer the cohesive colour scheme but they're fun nonetheless. I did an experiment and found that the CW limbs sorta work in the sockets for Cybertron Prime... As long as you can overlook the proportions and the fact they're a bit loose...

I don't intend to display them combined in Savage Claw Mode, so the color matching isn't very important. It'll more be for the fun of it.

With regards to the combinations, Armada Jetfire is separate from Prime and Overload, and the Wing Sabers will will most likely stay separate as well. Energon Wing Saber might alternate between combined and separate, but Cybertron Prime is more for the fun of being able to combine instead of actually displaying him like that

[ZeroWolf]

I don't think I've ever left mine uncombined for long... Its too much fun though with Armada Prime, it was made easier by the fact that I have bendy prime as well, so normal prime is represented.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

See, with Armada Prime, I also have that Bendy Prime who is super cool by himself, and then the larger super mode Prime, but the super mode prime needs Overload to fill in that large gap in his back, it is a necessity for me.

Energon Prime with drones is dope by himself, and while he looks better with Wing Saber parts, they both can stand alone pretty dang well.

Cybertron, well, they all look great by themselves, combining is fun, but they can stand on their own 2 feet more than competently.

[Rodimus Prime]

Bendy Prime also got a Nemesis version, which I liked even better. I wish the regular Armada Prime got one as well. I would have liked to see a 3P company make a trailer for Bendy or Nemesis. Not necessarily a smaller version of the Armada trailer, but even if it was just a regular box or tanker trailer it would have been good.

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

I don't display my Cyb. Optimus combined either (and sadly I currently don't display him at all). But he is fun to combine.

Bendy Prime also got a Nemesis version, which I liked even better. I wish the regular Armada Prime got one as well.

I think the reason that didn't happen was Powerlinx Optimus being so close that already.

I would have liked to see a 3P company make a trailer for Bendy or Nemesis. Not necessarily a smaller version of the Armada trailer, but even if it was just a regular box or tanker trailer it would have been good.

Even just a nontransforming (since it's not like he used the base mode or Super Mode) cardboard replica of the Armada trailer would be nice, since Nemesis Prime did have a trailer in "Puppet".

I can tell you right now that they don't hold at all in Megatron's sockets. Also, it's not like Savage Claw Mode as-is is much better proportion-wise I really wish one of the 3P companies would make an upgrade kit for the Leobreaker mold already.

As for Leobreaker or Leo Prime... Why not both?


My Leo Prime unfortunately suffers from my early incompetent customization days (as does Optimus)

Bendy Prime also got a Nemesis version, which I liked even better.

My one gripe with Armada Nemesis is they didn't give him a different Mini-Con.

Of course they didn't. That would have required new tooling, because partner Mini-Cons are gang-molded with their bulks.
Run-Over does at least have a different deco:

[Burn]

No **** Sherlock. Doesn't change my opinion though.

[ZeroWolf]

Where does the other use of that minicon mold come from? Was there a third release of Bendy Prime?

Universe (2003) Battle in a Box Ultra Magnus:


There was also a Takara-exclusive "Crystal Convoy" redeco, a redeco in the Cybertron line colored to match the Galaxy Force Optimus Prime redeco of the Leader-class Optimus from that line (this version came with a specialized Cyber Key rather than a Mini-Con though), and a more traditional-colors redeco of that variant in the "Battle for the Cyber Planet Keys" boxset from the 2008 Universe line.

[ZeroWolf]

That's a pretty spiffy colour scheme. If I had him I'd probably head con a different character out of him.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

So in the course of today, I got a best offer accepted for a Cybertron Landmine, and I won an auction for an almost complete Cybertron Jetfire! Really looking forward to both, and to putting them with their Cybertron cohorts

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I love this combination. I think it is my favorite of the Unicron Trilogy Powerup Prime modes.

[ZeroWolf]

Slick, very slick. What I do love about wing Saber is that you can make two power up modes depending on how you transform and combine them.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I've tried out both of them, and they both have some good advantages.

In flight mode, the wings on the shoulders are really good looking, and the color scheme is very nice.

In fight mode, he has some monkey arms, but he is more stable standing and is pretty buff.

I prefer flight to fight mode, but both are pretty dang good modes

[ZeroWolf]

It was also refreshing to see a transformation scheme like that in general. There was a lot of fun engineering going on through the whole trilogy and off the wall ideas (like deluxe Unicron!)

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I wish energon Wing Saber was more articulated, but his transformation and super modes make up for it, like Overload as a massive pair of cannons.

The engineering from this trilogy truly is a blast!

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Ya know, this is a far more badass combo than i was anticipating, and it is awesome!!
