The Energon Pub

Coincidentally, I recently got rid of my YOTS Omega Supreme and it's Maketoys kit along some other toys to buy the Unique Toys Desperado (see my sig below).
It was awesome but now that I have the Siege Titan, I felt my old YOTS was "sacrificeable." I got it from BBTS on clearance years ago so when I dropped it at my local geek store for store credit to buy Desperado, I was surprised to get more than what I paid at the time.

Glad you got yours at a reasonable price and you enjoy it!

A word of advice though. Remove the missiles and store them neatly in a baggie that you'll store into the bot's chest cavity. Those missiles tend to fly off at the slightest touch and you really don't want to lose those.

Thanks, I'll definitely do that. I'm not sure why his box is huge compared to the OG Energon Omega either unless my minds not remembering things as they were. Titan Omega might fit in with my collection one day but I'm still after the Mastermade Omega which is weirdly likely to cost me the most for the smallest version I want of him.

I picked up Jiaxius last night, on sale at Targét for $23 bucks. Can't beat and really he's a lovely figure, made with a lot of love for the source material. More thoughts in the Legacy thread

Got my DK-3 Breaker today, well ahead of the original Tuesday delivery date. My mail carrier left it on top of my mailbox for anyone to pick up driving by instead of at my door like they reported on the tracking.

Sounds like you got lucky no one paid too much attention if they drove by.

Especially when it says "Entertainment Earth" all over the box. They do this all the time, my box flag is bent all out of shape from my carrier using it to hang plastic bagged boxes when it rains. They aren't even consistent, they do bring boxes to my house more often than not. The real odd one recently was my last three figures from Deep Discount, they were individually boxed and fit two in my mailbox and brought the third to my house! Why not bring all three??

Got some new stuff in. Glad I got my 15th anniversary 5-pack, i got my Spider Man Noir, and i finally completed Attuna

Bot a big box in from BBTS today (I guess FedEx still delivers during some holidays). It was mostly non-Transformers stuff, but I got a few good Transformers things in.

Selects Targetmaster Cyclonus

Alternators Nemesis Prime

Extremely excited about getting Nemesis Prime into my collection at last! Missed him when the orders went up all those years ago and BBTS was selling him for half the going aftermarket prices so it feels like a win! Just down to two Alternators left before I can finally say I've completed the line (Camshaft and Decepticharger).

Also got the DNA upgrade kit for the Ark, gotta fill in those big gaps in the sides of the shuttle!

That Nemesis was unexpected at BBTS! Too bad for this here Canadian the overall price would be too much, factoring exchange rate, shipping, and taxes.

I couldn't pass out Red Cog at a price lower than deluxe. Also, Core Ratchet from Amazon. It only took 2 tries, the first one being "lost".

Just look at the regular price (in CAN$).
Like, holy crap...

[LinaNui]

Got some good deals on all these guys! Happy to add them to the collection.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I had some packages arrive yesterday. I have corrected a mistake I made while also getting the biggest toy I now own and may ever own.

[ZeroWolf]

That Dino is massive

Went back for the bottropolis set then I see, is that in prep for Galaxy Shuttle?

[-Kanrabat-]

I got my Select TrailBlueKer! I'm very glad my local GameStop had it. 32$can is WAY more palatable than 40 or 45.

Also, some MOTU because of a very nice Amazon.ca sale.

Is Breaker just a straight repaint, or are there slight differences in parts and accessories?

Straight repaint.
But man, that blue is GORDEOUS.

I will second that 100% . Essentially, Marvel TF homage as a Diaclone homage.

Over 5 feet long! He is massive. I am calling him Little Foot.

As for Botropolis, yep, I bought that set solely because of Galaxy Shuttle coming. I am making them retroactive Victory characters.

Also, got this guy last night. I am down to 7 RiD2015 figures I want left to get

Thermidor is already a great repaint and minor retool of an even greater initial release. RID15 had so many amazing characters on the Deception side that got sick toy releases. So much so, there are a bunch that only got Legends class or 1 Step releases that could have been easily justified Warrior and Voyager releases.I am still finding interesting repaints pop up now and again as well; a la the TRU exclusives.

Got my "Vintage" Terrosaur from Walmart!

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

That classic mold is very flawed, but I just can't deny the genius behind the reversible design.

I'd hardly call it flawed, this thing is really fun and good

It is fun, and clever, but it's definitely more Sideswipe than Sunstreaker in overall design.

I bought it recently and I hate how floppy it is, the transformation is annoying, how the arms are weird, and how that gun in two parts is very troublesome. Not fun at all for me.

What all is floppy on yours besides the arm doors?
I personally find the transformation alright. The arms are a bit weird, both this and the Prowl mold have obvious Alternators influence (and possibly IDW?). I'll agree that the combined form of the accessories could use work... the grooves in the supercharger halves aren't shaped quite right.
I still think they missed a trick not turning this mold into Getaway, and I'd like to get a spare Red Alert (or a Sunstreaker) to do so job myself.

Guess I'm just spoiled by the stellar Siege / Earthrise updates.

Lucky you for having ER Sunny... I swear, if Hasbro doesn't restock him I'm just gonna frigging buy and kitbash an Earthrise Wheeljack.



Got a beater G1 Smokescreen (but with the doors!!!) for my pseudo-Diaclone collection.

[-Kanrabat-]

Got the Legacy Alpha Trion and Orion Pax 2 pack at GameStop!
(Thanks Will for the hint!)

I'm glad it only cost me below CAN104$ instead of the almost CAN140$ if I'd be stuck importing from Pulse USA.

Birthday haul!

This is the biggest collective haul I've gotten for my birthday in years! (Admittedly, not all of these were on or for my birthday, but close enough)
First my brother and sister got me Reveal The Shield Windcharger and Perceptor, two of my holy grails, and my brother threw in Cybertron Lugnutz for good measure. Then we went on a trip that weekend, and I bought Terrorsaur at Target while he was on sale. Later that weekend my brother found a comic store that had used Transformers, and amongst their impressive collection was a complete Cybertron Crosswise, another holy grail of mine. I also got Beast Wars Razorclaw just for kicks, and my sister offered to pay for him. After that I got Legacy Scourge from my parents. Needless to say, I am very thankful for my family.

The name of the store was Gateway Comic and Toys in Fredericksburg, Virginia, if any Seibertronians live around there and want to take a look.

Found this at a Target in Covington Louisiana

That's cool, I've yet to find any Core figures past wave 1 of Legacy and SS.
