The Energon Pub

I wanna pick them up but I'm kinda undecided yet. How's the quality and the durability?

I don't have them, don't think I'll get them, but i can point you to Jesse/Matrix_Prime's video review of them . Maybe you can get some info of of it.

Video review on youtube.com

I've got Softimus, and I'd say he's a really good stuffed toy.

His transformation s surprisingly solid and looks good in both modes.

My Dog's not as into him as we were hoping.

I got both, and they seem pretty good.

I like both of them

Softimus Prime is one of my favorite transformers

I've picked up Softimus, I love him. Slumblebee didn't do anything for me (or my wife, the BB fan) though... So he got left behind.

So, I can recommend Prime, but 'iffy' on Bee...

I like how bb has a simpler transformation
but op looks better in bot mode...

I hope they make more...

meg...
soundwave...
starscream...
grimlock....

Thanks for the responses. I've decided to pick up Softimus.

I bought Softimus for my girlfriend, and she loves him. Every day when I come home from work, she's cuddling with him on the couch, it's so cute.

He's good quality, and nice and soft, the transformation is cool and convincing. I think it's a great buy if you like the idea of a plushie Transformer.

Bumblebee I imagine would be similar, just with a different (perhaps less cool) Transformation.

Edit: But I see you've already made a your decision. Good work!

I got Softimus for my kid. Doesn't seem to be as into him as I am. But I will slowly win this kid over to Transformers one way or another. At least he likes playing with some of them in vehical mode.

I got Prime for my sister's birthday last week and another one for one of my friend's baby...Currently there is only one left, and I really need to get off my ass and buy the last one before it's gone.

And has anyone seen these in a store other than K-Mart?

I have seen them at Target and Toys R Us.

i picked em up during the June 2nd raid...I couldnt resist...they rule! Here's hopin we see some more characters in plush form

I hope they release a Unicron plushie, transforming him into planet mode would really be easy. Another good plushie choice might be the dinobots, that way, they're cute in either mode.

someone gave me slumblebee, and its adorable. considering getting softimus at some point, too. these are too cute!

They're like Popples...but less fruity

I picked up bumblebee A little hard to get the robot mode arms and legs inside of him.

I got slumblebee and softimus as well to accentuate my tf movie pillow cases, and i woul have to agree with the others that they are quite nice. They appear to have durable stictching, the fabric isn't flimsy so it should stand up lots of transformations over the years. I like the attention to detail they put on them too, like on their little hands, you can see there little fingers/fists, sortof like the original g1 versions, complete with a picture of a little hole for optimus's gun in his plushie fist. hah

On the other hand, when you transform them to vehicle mode, it's cool and all, but i wish they would "fill out" more, but it's really just a matter of transforming them correctly so that the stuffing is equally distributed like on slumblebee so that the vehicle mode isn't lopsided and such.

I like mine enough to admit they both slept in bed with me last night. They need some decepticons too though..

Yeah They do need some decepticons. Slumblebee is a bit lopsided. But I would LOVE A soundwave plush.

The GF bought the 2 of them for me a few days ago. She said that they could stay on the couch as long as Prime didn't beat the sh!t out of her teddybears and BumbleBee didn't try and hump the dog.

I got Prime, and he resides on the bed. He's cool, and all, an interesting new idea, from the old POPPLES things...

And yes, I wouldn't mind a couple more, but Slumblebee is not one for me. I'm not a big BB fan...

They're too small. They should be bigger. I like the idea though.

My girlfriend made Softimus hump my face...

My Gf bought them for me last week, as she knew I had been searching high and low for them. She liked them both so much, that she has now claimed them as her own.

The material is the heavy duty type that will survive a long and tough life if you wanted to buy them for the kiddies as gifts. The Velcro is stitched on well, and I doubt it will fall off anytime soon.

The transformations are quick and simple, anyone who can flick their wrists should be able to transform them.

Prime is my favourite, mainly because I have always preferred him over Bumblebee. He is solid quality in both modes, and passes off well in both modes as well. Bumblebee looks great in robot mode, but often looks a little off in alt mode. A bit of playing around with the placement of his robot mode inside his alt mode can make all the difference in giving him the correct shape.
