The Energon Pub

Sorry if it's been done to death (and I assume it has) but I've been away for a while. I know there's a sticking point with the movie toys being partly Paramounts but assuming they actually like money enough to sell something (translation: corperations are businesses too and love $$$) lets count them in
I realize that all of my wants are from different lines but screw it, I want them anyway:
Movie Skywarp, SS & TC are lonely
Titanium Skywarp, see above
Classics Starscream's Ghost
Classics Sunstorm
Movie Shockwave, from Swindle
Classics Darkwing, from C Jetfire
Movie Ironhide in red
Movie Voyager Magnus (yes, I want another white Optimus)

What do you guys want to see?

Crazy repainted Wave 1 Encore set. Something that can't be closely replicated by a kitbasher with three hours and a 12 dollar paint set.

Encore G1 Megatron in "creation of Galvatron" translucent purple.

Encore G1 Prime with Dark Awakening battle damage.

Encore G1 Soundwave with a new head repainted as Blaster (so we can finally have a Blaster to scale with Soundwave).

Ecore G1 Starscream in "Ghost in the Machine" colors, partially translucent and partially clear.

Yep. That'd make me happy.

Now that is a great idea.

classics=want
g1=want
movie toys=do not want

my small selection of movie toys is enough to satisfy me, and i am hoping the botcon set has NOTHING to do with them.

QFT

More Classics yo.

Shortround: Seaspray
Ransack: Wreck-Gar
Crosswise: Bluestreak
Sideswipe/Runamuck: Runabout
Tidalwave: Broadside

Add-on Set 1: 2-pack of Ransack recolored as generic Junkions

Add-on Set 2: Darkwing & Sunstorm

Random, yea, kind of. They'd make some nice repaints though.

I don't buy the botcon sets so I hope it is some obscure character I don't want

I couldn't justify the cost for the 3 seekers from last year.

How about this:

A set that we all can afford??

How about a Masterpiece Perceptor with working scope and light
just like a real microscope.

Also would like a titaniums combiner set.

Oh and the translucent megatron would be awesome too.

Well as they are still limited it would be a set the first people who get them can afford - and can charge whatever the hell they like for em on the secondry market cos theyll still be in high demand

Pretty much agree with that.

What I'd like to see: Encore mini-bot set
What I think it will be: repaints of movie figures

Although, they're not going to make a Botcon fig out of a character that's going to be in the sequel so here's hoping there's no UM white repaint of Prime at Botcon and a good, original mold UM for the sequel line.

Something not Classicsy. Summer 08 is my recovery period from tf binging, and a time for me to tie up loose ends in older lines.



So, maybe a Superion/ Bruticus repaint set from the Energon molds?

I hope it has nothing to do with encore because Im trying to keep up to date with these as I missed the TFC. Hopefully its something titanium because I have no interest in those.

How about some Beast Wars molds repainted into G1 homages. Kind of the opposite of the 2006 set. Since most of the early BW figures were shell-formers, you could do pretty much whatever you wanted to the robot mode while keeping a passable Beast Mode.

BW Megatron in white/red/silver.
a set of Terrorsaurs as Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp.
Tarantulas repainted as Soundwave.

If we're keeping it in the realm of fantasy, Tripredacus as Devastator.

how about NO bot-con exclusives? because i'll never have a chance to get them!

What a tremendous idea! Let those who want (and can afford) suffer so that you don't have to deal with the thought of Transformers existing that you can't get.

Maybe they should simply cancel BotCon. You might not be able to go this year, so what's the point of having it?

Personally I would like someone to do a nice homage to the toys/names we haven't seen in a while: Seaspray, Fireflight, Warpath, Cosmos, Blaster ... and I would like to see a Perecptor that isn't a crappy minicon combiner or legends repaint.

Since 'Dawn of Future Past released' i had hope that they release the predacons too. so far we only got Megatron and Waspinator, they can easily make scorponok

Anything other than energon combiners

Didn't they do Dinobot for that set?

apparently i'm no good at expressing sarcasm in text. i'm kidding! and i wasn't talking about not affording them, i just don't make many purchases over the internet, and i've never used ebay.

I don't want movie toys. The majority of people around here who claim the movie toys as the best things ever are not the Botcon kinda crowd, so let's not make real expensive garbage in a foam filled boxed set.
