The Energon Pub

Man I am stoked for some of the new things coming our way here soon. I dig the FOC figures, Prime seems like it will continue strong, and MP Optimus w/ Trailer here in the USA!!! This was a cool weekend to be a Transformers fan. I also found a Takara MP Grimlock MIB at a local toy shop (they generously let me put it on layaway) and I finally found TF Prime Ratchet at the TRU just down the street. Good stuff all around. Just wanted to share a good Transformers weekend and make a place for anyone else who's excitement is bubbling over to share as well. Here's to a great week ahead!

God bless!

Dude I am pretty excited about the upcoming figures as well and that is awesome on the MP Grimlock find! I am biased but I will say that we all participate in the greatest hobby ever!!!

I cannot wait for MP Optimus!

Any update from Hasbro regarding the cancelled DotM figures? I know the Trilogy line was scrapped, but they said earlier in the year that they might find a way to release the remaining figures. Already have deluxe Soundwave coming, but I'd love to have deluxe Que and Leadfoot available at retail.

Also, any word on non - FoC Generations figures? I was hoping to hear something about more G1 figures being released over the next year.

I saw The Avengers.

Hasbro didn't stand a chance of exciting me more than that movie did.
(Okay maybe a few things piqued my interest)

Actual positive posts! Wow. We need more of these.

I don't care what anybody says..............it looks to me as if things are really looking up.........and the fact that Hasbro is going to release MP Prime with the trailer?!?!?!? I'm more than excited! Good job, Hasbro....

I'd be much more excited if distribution problems could be fixed, but yeah, there's some nifty stuff coming out.

I finally opened RtS Jazz last night and he's really great so I'm excited about that! I'm also looking forward to some of the other releases recently announced but right now I'm all about Jazz! Oh yeah, and Giant set 2 is in the post.

Keep emailing Hasbro about it. Maybe they'll take notice.

RTS Jazz is classics perfection. Has/Tak did a great job with a lot of these classics figures, but he's something special. Thank you DinoJack for hooking me up!

HFTD Jazz is my favorite of the "classics" line. He's perfection- can't complain about anything with him. Glad I could help.

On another note I plan to start checking for Bulkhead and Starscream at the TRU down the road. I just get the feeling the empty Voyager-class spaces are about to be filled (very few Primes and Megatrons left).

Nice to hear from someone who appreciates the toys instead of whining about how they used the wrong shade of red or other BS. Some people around here fail to see the forest for the trees.

I can't wait for those FoC figures. ANY of them. Hell, even FoC Optimus.

It's like I'm a TF addict, and those FoCs are the only way I'll get mah fix. ● ● ● ●

My biggest excitement was when i opened my Hunt for the Decepticons Battle Blades Optimus Prime.
I was so happy because first i missed out on both 07 movie voyager prime and the 2009 rotf standard version voyager prime because of my low budget.
But in 2011 i got lucky whwn this optimus appeared at the affordable price of 2995 ISKR or roughly 30 USD dollars.

So i sold off three ps3 games for some quick cash, went the following day afterwards to the Toys'R'Us and walked out with this magnificent toy

So i got home, unboxed him and was excited to find out he had both cannons and blades to fight the cons with, and the matrix of leadership is like adding the finishing cherry to a good ice cream sundae.

I am more worried for my lack of cash after MP-10, SDCC Bruticus and FOC comes out... Oh, and I have to start getting the PRID stuff too... And Knight Morpher Cyclops.

i bought a DOTM takara deluxe soundwave on ebay, and i can't wait to have the little fella in my hands. it just looks good, and it's one step closer to finishing up de bayverse collection

I just open and stare at this pic for minutes on end in anticipation for the FoC line. I have no idea what I'd do if a complete team of Dinobots were included.

It shocks me to realize I'm purchasing nearly every toy in that image. Man, it's gonna be an expensive couple of years!

I'm planning to buy every drop of that plastic. Yes, even the Optimus.

The whole line just hits me right where I have the most interest in the TF line: Lots of G1-aesthetic cool-looking giant robots of death in tiny plastic form.

Also, just what is so bad about FoC Bruticus? Hasbro managed to:

-Give us a modernized 5-member Scramble City-style combiner
-Make all components deluxe sized, all with modern-level articulation
-Make all limbformers have arm and leg modes with full shoulder, elbow, and knee articulation
-Make it more poseable than 3rd party combiners from what I can tell(well more joint bending range at least)
-Have ZERO combiner kibble aside from individual weapons; everything is integrated into each robot
-Give us TWO color schemes at once: One homaging Energon Bruticus Maximus, one game-accurate colors
-Price one whole set(at least the retail one) UNDER $100

That's an amazing accomplishment given the restrictions they have to abide by to produce toys for kids. So what if it's not perfectly game-accurate? This toy can do so much more than if it was. The FoC Combaticons will be bought on sight for me and I will love it.

all in all say goodbye to a few hundred dollars .......(deity here) knows I will be
