The Energon Pub

I'm working through all 11 Data Disc galleries right now. As much as I love my full time job of working on Seibertron.com, working on galleries like this reminds me that I still have to do things that I don't enjoy even with being self employed. 11 galleries of Transformers that turn into "discs" is not the most exciting thing to do, especially when you take as many pics as I do of these damn things.

At least I get to have a beer while having Avengers on in the background as I'm cropping all of these photos. Beats a sharp stick in the eye ... just not very exciting.

This almost makes me feel sorry for you.

Almost.

Are you going to do galleries and comparisons to the Takara versions?

As time and necessity permits. I've got my first Takara Tomy figure on the way from HLJ ... Air Raid. I really like the toy and like the differences from the Shockwave mold. Air Raid, it's not, but I like the toy regardless.

None of these will be page turners here on Seibertron.com so I'll most likely wait until online retailers have blow outs on them or I figure out how to get them for $20 or less. I can't pay full price for items that won't generate a lot of traffic on Seibertron.com.

On that note, United Soundwave, Transformers Collection Blitzwing and Takara Tomy's Animated Blitzwing got the gallery treatment this week as well as all of the other galleries that are getting posted this week. They'll get posted as time permits along with the 3 versions of Music Label Convoy which is what I was working on before all of these Fall of Cybertron galleries, thanks to Springer and Blitzwing.

3:49am ... and the world shall have 840 images of the 11 Data Discs from Transformers Generations: Fall of Cybertron. This set of galleries easily took at least 12 hours to work on from start to finish. Mindless and boring work but satisfying to move the gallery counter forward by 11 new galleries.

Next stop: Generations Legends Class Optimus Prime + Roller and Bumblebee + Blazemaster.

Man, I'd really love that Ultra Magnus, though I'll probably never see him on the store shelves.
I'd take that Grimlock just because it's "Grimlock". Also, most likely gonna be a no-shower.
But Soundwave... Yeah, I would have preferred Deluxe.

He's done it. He almost collapsed in the process, but Seibertron has prepared galleries for all 11 Fall of Cybertron Data Discs! After 12 hours of work on his side, time for all of us to please our optics with the all new galleries: Rewind, Ramhorn, Eject, Steeljaw, Sunder, Rumble, Frenzy, Ravage, Ratbat, Laserbeak and Buzzsaw!

Very cool, thanks

Yes, I have every version of the Generations Shockwave mold. The differences between Takara and Hasbro's versions of 'Air Raid' are quite striking, so much so that they can easily represent different characters, not only from Shockwave, but also from each other.

I'm buying Takara exclusively now, so it will be nice to see your comparison galleries as they emerge so that I can really know what I'm missing by not buying domestic.

im so jelous i went to walmart to find anything new they had and nothing until i saw a foc soundwave hidden in a toddler section i started going crazy even people looked weird at a 26yo 6foot tall guy jumping with joy with a toy in his hand...priceless now seeing how good these lil fellers look i must have minions to complete soundwave

Tell me Hasbro, how come Sunder gets a painted head but Laserbeak or Buzzsaw don't?

Although to be fair, he deserves special treatment, being the only Dubstep loving Transformer

Good job as always on the galleries. Im doing Takara so I have to wait on Blaster. I did however find a Hasbro Blaster and had my friend customize him into Twincast with Soundwave parts.
