The Energon Pub

Why all the hate for Ironhide? I love this figure. My only complaint is the loose hip/leg joints. Both of his forms look awesome though.

Only problem I have with it in any way is that the houses & hotels are called energon cubes & anti-matter respectively, yet the 'cubes' still look like houses, albeit purple, & the "anti-matter" are still the standard red hotels. For a set like this, a bit more thought could have went into making those look more like what they're supposed to be. Other than that...awsome.

My thoughts exactly!! What a great game! They put so much attention to detail in the game, it's hard to believe Parker Brothers could not find anything that resembles a cube in their vast product line. Sorry, but hotels and houses just don't fit. I'm still looking for a suitable substitute.
Yeah seriously. I mean how many transfans would have thought of making the old red tech specs decoder to read the chance/community chest cards? That was genious. & then they dropped the ball on the houses.....

Could it be for a legal reason, similar to how the 'go to jail,' 'go,' 'free parking,' etc. spaces can't be changed in themed Monopoly games?
Correct me if I'm wrong, though, but haven't other sets, like the original Star Wars board, come with different shaped properties? IIRC, it had Millenium Falcons for hotels....

I don't know, I was just taking a guess.

Anyway, today I bought 'Booster X10.' He's Classics Laserbeak, damn it! Here's something cool - if you look under his body when he's in condor mode, you'll see there's a square-shaped space, possibly for a rubsign? It could just be the indentation for the central button, though.

Titanium RID Prime doesn't combine with anything/one else. He doesn't have an Omega Prime mode.
As for me, Not a TF but just as cool. I picked up the SDCC exclusive Stan Lee/Spider-Man figure from my local comic shop for $20. I've yet to open him but he looks very cool. Which reminds me, I've got to go open him! I also have RID Super X-Brawn, BW Metals Tarantulas and BW2 Galavatron in my pile of loot with BBTS.

Alright, thanks to some tips, I went to Kohl's. All toys are Movie:

-Deluxe Jazz
-Deluxe Wreckage
-Deluxe Scorpinok
-Deluxe Bonecrusher
-Real Gear Booster X-10
-Legends Jazz

Then I hit TRU:

-Robot Heroes Prime/Unicron

And about a week and a half ago:

-Voyager Blackout
-Voyager Starscream

So yeah, last haul was rather small and not exciting. This haul, I'm very happy. I mean, 7 figures (technically

is pretty nice during a drought.

Titanium RID Prime doesn't combine with anything/one else. He doesn't have an Omega Prime mode.

Odd, it says right on the box "Unique Feature: Combines with his brother Ultra Magnus to form Omega Prime"

I did note the absence of combination form directions, though...is it a typo on the box? I'd have probably skipped him if I'd known he didn't combine.

TRU restocked some Classics, so I snagged Jetfire yesterday.

No dude, they all have some kind of 'Unique Feature' written on their tech specs. That's about the character, not the figure.

by **Dagon** » Sun Aug 12, 2007 12:56 pm

I picked up all three of the Robot Replicas, Deluxe Dreadwing, Real Gears Meantime and Hiscore, and Voyager Megatron and Prime, as well as an SDCC Titanium Menasor.

Well, crap. Had I known that the feature related only to the character and not the specific figure, I'd have passed on him. Of the Titaniums I have, he's my least favorite, and of the different lines from which I have characters from, Titanium ranks above only Legends, and even then my Legends Barricade and Starscream rate better than this RID Optimus Prime. :lol:

I totally want to get my hands on High Score, it looks pretty awesome.

TRU in St. Louis - South County (on Lindburgh by the Circuit City) has a handful each of some Cybertron characters (I got Soundwave w/ Laserbeak and Dark Crumplezone) and the two-pack Optimus/Megatron Titanium (already have) and Optimus/Megatron Classics two-pack (which I kinda regret buying, because Optimus looks like hell with his head uncovered in alt mode and Megatron's right forearm pops off very easily, and the tank alt mode looks cool but it's not "solid"). There was also a Cybertron Quickmix and a big pile of Legends 6-packs, if anyone is in or near 63129.

Oh god, that figure owns so hard.
He looks so badass in robot mode, great poseability and his bio makes him even more awesome. He's a master of martial arts, and learned how to fight by watching people play fighting games. Shoryuken!

Over this past weekend I picked up Voyager movie Ironhide, Deluxe movie Jazz and Classics Grimlock.

I think I'm holding off on getting any TFs until my next pay check, I then hope to get Deluxe movie Arcee, Classics Mirage and if I can find him Classics Bumblebee.

The Classic Jetfire I ordered from Amazon on Wednesday was delivered to my door on Saturday. Nice surprise especially since the tracking number said it was not due to arrive until the 14th.

Back from Targets this morning still nothing new. But the did have new Titaniums!! Pick up Fallen and Beast Wars Cheetor.

Now I notice that there are gray dots on the pegs at Targets.
I ask the stock person what it meant and she said that there're out and that it will be comming back soon. So Im thinking that the Oct/Nov. restock of them are true. I've seen these at severl Targets. Can any Target employee confrim??
