The Energon Pub

When I had finally decided to get the Energon Omega mold, my choice really went to Sentinel since I liked his colorscheme a lot better. Unfortunately, he seemed somewhat hard to get, unless I was willing to shell out big time -- which I wasn't.

One search on e-bay went wrong. I made a typo, and I wasn't the only one And so I got my hands on a cheap E Omega Supreme; after international shipping I had to pay $ 23 (approx 19 euro). Of course, the catch was that he wasn't complete: no missiles, no transformable head and he missed two little panels on his left foot (something I didn't notice until I got Sentinel). But I had Omega Supreme.

And then, a few months later, I did manage to get a reasonably priced Omega Sentinel. And I loved him. Such a cool colorscheme. But as I put the two of them together, I quickly saw a way to really improve on Sentinel. And all it took was a screwdriver and some time.

The same parts that were orange on Sentinel, were red on Supreme. I don't mind orange, but I just felt it looked stupid on Sentinel. With the red parts from Supreme he looks a lot better IMO. (Just a shame my Supreme came without a head, because it means there still a little bit orange on Sentinel: his head.)



As for Supreme...well, he looks okay as well. Funny thing is, with the orange parts from Sentinel, Supreme looks more geewun accurate -- and I feel that orange works better with yellow.



It's a very simple swap and I'm surprised I have never seen or heard that others did it as well. (Maybe because it's too simple

Wow, that does look a lot better. I wouldn't mind doing this to my figures as well.

what exactly is swapped? I'm not familiar with those.

Everything that's orange on Supreme came from Sentinel (while those same parts in red went to Sentinel). This includes:

- right hand/claw,
- left shoulder joint,
- Panel on the left leg
- left hip joint (not seen in robot mode, but visible in ship mode)
- In ship mode there's another piece of orange plastic that covers up the hollow chest (is on the other side of the bridge tower of the orange/red part from the left hip joint).

(The body of the head robot is also orange on Sentinel, but since I missed the counterpart from Supreme that's still the original.)
