The Energon Pub

Japanese toy website Tag Hobby, has posted a picture of a new Optimus Prime non transforming set titled Big Daddy Prime ft. Calflavor. It includes an exaggerated Optimus Prime bust as well as his truck mode. This bust set comes from Takara Tomy and the release date is unknown.

Energon Prime is no longer the fattest guy on the block. Even this guy's gun is fat. Impressive.

Calf flavor???

Edit: So these are like two separate items? Nothing transforms?

jeysus! That's an ugly object.

CALFUGLY is more like it.

This is CONFUSING AND WEIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the Allspark!What is this????This is fatter than Fatimus himself!!!

That's not even a bust. Why do people use the word "bust" to describe statues?

Bust: a sculptured representation of the upper part of the human figure including the head and neck and usually part of the shoulders and breast

If it has arms, it's not a bust. If it has legs and feet (as this does), it's certainly not a bust.

Also, that is one of the stupidest looking TF statues I've ever seen.

Ha! I didnt notice the legs and feet, I thoguht they were a stand, hence why I thought it was more a bust. Wow, that makes the figure even uglier.

And Kanrabat makes me laugh way too much.

Even without the legs and feet, it's not a bust. Busts don't have arms.

A lot of these companies make statues with no legs and call them "busts", but they're not busts; they're just statues with no legs.

THESE are busts: (don't worry; safe search is "on") https://www.google.com/search?q=bust&sa ... 49&bih=885

Here's an example:

Thanks, I will now turn safe search off.

I kinda like it ...

Second. It's weird and strange, yes...But maybe that's why I'm drawn to it...

Exactly, completely agree on all accounts here GI.

This is one of the dumbest things ever, I could understand its existence if it were based on something in particular, like if it's part of a designer series of toys all designed by a popular artist in his own unique style. But this is just a standalone thing, a crappy and dumb standalone thing.

All first things are "stand alone" until something else comes along.

Honestly don't get why some of you get your panties so twisted at times.

Well, if I'm going to make a final post then I'm glad it's on this particular thread.

I totally agree with Burn. Some of you have your panties wound way too tight or just plain had an extra bowl of Bitch Flakes this morning.

Do a bit of research on stuff folks. There are a fair amount of items (non-TF related) out there that are represented by this similar artistic style. I think this is a wonderful representation of Prime in this particular artistic style and I think the artist should be commended. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to add this piece to my Prime collection but then I also view myself as having a bit more enlightened view than the majority of you ignorant jack-asses.

That having been said... I bid Seibertron.com a not-so-fond farewell. I thanks so many of you horrid, narrow-minded, selfish jerks for ruining my Transformers fandom experience of the past several years. Between you folks and the ones at TFW2005 I now realize that TF fans are bigger, more ignorant pricks than even Trekkies or Star Wars fanatics so I leave you all to your miseryand self-loathing while I go find a decent group of Whovians to hang out with. At least they have manners and taste unlike a great many of you. (And the reason I have no manners lately is because of a direct response to many of you on here. I started out as a well-mannered fan who actually cared about the thoughts and opinions of my fellow posters until you lot showed me the utter futility of such actions)

You know, he has a point. I did some research and I think I like Calflavor as a hole, dont know why https://www.google.ca/search?q=calflavor&es_sm=122&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=FXtCVOujMeHL8AH-kYDYAg&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAg&biw=1517&bih=714&dpr=0.9#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=NjzaGKrwyM-PGM%253A%3BAxd1KaFJPsXosM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fstat.ameba.jp%252Fuser_images%252F20121023%252F01%252Fbalance-ap%252Fb6%252F37%252Fj%252Fo0427064012250451805.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fameblo.jp%252Fbalance-ap%252Fentry-11386434263.html%3B427%3B640

You owe Burn a Metroplex.

That, and good riddance.

That bolded part there is a goddamned lie and you know it, you've been a douche ever since you first showed up and thrived on posting douchy comments that where basically you just disagreeing with the general opinion on what ever topic that came up, even going so far as contradicting your previous "stand points", as long as you could be an asshole and disagree with the majority.

And if there are "many figures done in that style", how about you prove that with a link? Oh wait you can't, cos you're so full of ****, to the extend that you probably resemble an adult diaper in real life.

And Whovians better than us? You've never actually been in one of their communities have you? Every community has assholes like you. And if you're really leaving us for them, then they'll just gain another asshole, poor Whovians.

Will you tell them about your badass "street life" and "by the sword" honer you live by? Or will you try to impress them with a new set of made up crap?

But you're not leaving for good, I've seen that message so many times already, in a couple of weeks/ months you'll be back, so, see ya.

After checking google, the only thing that comes up for Calflavour is a Japanese car show, it uses the same logo as this statue, but that's it, no other figures or collectible or anything seem to have been released in this style by them.
It's still ugly, hell, the recent SD stuff is nicer than this.

What your hissy fit have to do about us commenting on the ugliest TF merch ever made?

I like how you guys just go ahead and prove his point. Well done. Next time, just ignore the hissy fits. There's more important things in life to worry about.

Like how I'm going to get my second Metroplex.

I don't care if there are 50,000 other mass produced statues in that style. It's not a style I like, and therefore my wallet is safe from this particular attempt on it.
