The Energon Pub

I looked at the pictures they look pretty sweet.
Any of you own it personally?
Debating on whether to spend a pretty penny on them or not...
Or am I off better spending it on Binaltechs?
Would appreciate your opinions!
Best Regards,
Ed

I don't remember an Omega Supreme in RID? Are you talking about RID Omega Prime? Or about Energon Omega Supreme?

Can you link to pics?

thanks,
S.P.

I love it! It takes some time to put together but thats the fun. I love the way they look together and it's a real nice piece. And here's the butt (_v_) the only thing I don't like is the waist it feels a little weak. That problem could only be with mine. Bottom line I say DO IT!

sorry I meant omega prime~

in that case ya. It has a very intriguing transformation/fusion, and looks really cool. My only gripe is that it holds itself together kinda loosely so don't screw around with it to much or parts might "un-link"
but all in all it's a great figure. go for it

It isn't just yours, God Fire Convoy (sorry, I hate the RiD names) is very top heavy.

Personally, I recommend him to anyone and everyone that asks about it. GFC is one of my all-time TF favorites!

Dude if there is one combined Optimus prime figure you ever decide to get, It is RID Prime!!
He is simply put, the Omega of Prime combiners!!! He's badass, and though his articulation begins to suffer and he's a little hard to stabalize, you gotta remember he's 2 Robots in one!!! I love him!! he's certainly worth 6 Binal techs to me.. and even then I still wouldn't trade him!!!

Best $50 I've spent on a TF in a while. I got him from a guy on the forums for $50 and LOVE him. He is top heavy, but he still has a lot of poseablity. Plus, RiD Optimus is one of the best prime toys ever.

Get it and be glad you did.

Any other transformers you highly recommend getting?

A truly amazing figure rid prime is one of the most detailed transformers and ultra magnus is just as good. I have both of them and you can't go wrong.

Get it for sure. No matter how cool Alts are, Omega Prime is way cooler.

Is there anything else that is VERY COOL that you recommend me look at?

Omega Prime should be a part of everyone's collection.

What else do we recommend? How much time do you have, the list can get long.

Would you like to narrow down your outlook to a specific TF toy line? Then we can do a refined search/suggestion for you.

Not only is God Fire Convoy amazing, but so are the individual bots, Fire Convoy and God Magnus

I like them so much I bought one set to display as God Fire Convoy and a second set to display on their own.

RID had some real gems.

I just like the best looking ones that show a lot of sophistication. I don't like the bots that look rather simple

Basically pieces that can actually give Masterpieces a ride for its money is what I am looking for

Well - wait - before we get lost in an orgy of RID Love....

God Magnus has one aesthetic flaaw (IMO) - namely his lower legs are seven times longer than his upper legs - or his knees start at his crotch - however you prefer to describe it. He's just a really silly looking robot which is a shame... somewhat doable but still a little annoying....

As for Fire Convoy... the armored mode is really cool - true - and the fire truck is great - but the basic non-armored robot has ugly legs.

God Fire Convoy (combined mode) is impressive but wears thin...

I dunno - I remember I got this guy off ebay and sold him about three days later...

I settled for Titanium Fire Convoy -

First guy to say Omega prime ain't a must have

Skids can have his opinion of the Combined God Fire Convoy, Omega Prime, as it is known here in the US., But that said I actually like the Ultra Magnus Legs, so their funky, its still okay, he's a masively powerful looking bot.. and No one should downplay how cool he really is...

However, I really value your opinion, and I think if you don't like Omega Prime, or the two bots individually, then thats cool..It's kind of refreshing to see a different opinion...But you can't deny that this guy is Da Bomb!!!


Combinig the 2 Modes for Ultra Magnus and Optimus into the Omega Prime makes the Bot a real Gem.. and not to mention the asthetic appeal of a huge Battle bot..


So I just asked my Magnus toy, what if a fan of Transformers dislikes your design and really doesn't want to keep you as a toy..


His response...

Talk to the Hand!!!



Honestly go for Cybertron Optimus Prime, or Armada, as combiners that look like Masterpieces they are cool.. only I would suggest you buy Ulrtra Magnus from Energon to combine with Armada Prime, and you get Jetfire to combine with Cybertron Prime, though Cybertron Prime looks awesome on his own..

Thanks for all the responses!
BTW what is the TRU Fire God Convoy Gift Set from Japan worth?
I didn't even know this beast existed!

Easily $300. It's got the Omega Blade, the toys are partly transparent plastic, and it's exclusive. Definitely on my want list.

I know toe ach their own and so forth, but I love the non-armored mode better than the armored mode. He's tough looking!

He's a very cool figure. 300 maybe 350. Just because they are made in translucent plastic. Red for Convoy, and White and blue for God Magnus.

I don't understand what people see in large humongous Swords.
Its twice as long as Omega Prime is tall. But it really doesn't look all that good IMHO. Still the set is pretty snazzy, all transparent and stuff.

If it were a bit cheaper, I'd try to get one. as it is 300 bucks is just a little too much for my wallet.

Heres the set:

How much should I pay for a loose set?

ehhh.... I would use the original magnus and the God Fire Convoy.. the clear magnus looks skeletal...
