The Energon Pub

[Skowl]

Title pretty much explains it.

I love these things! There's just something about them... the style is so charming and for the most part they are so well executed and well-painted. They're perfect for bringing to the office and bring alot of colour and life to a collection.

I for one really really hope this sub-line will continue, and that they'll span multiple generations, do Beast Wars and even some memorable characters from Armada, Energon and Cybertron. I also hope they'll do ones for the missing movie characters, early listings had no Robot Heroes Ironhide, Starscream (C'mon, Starscream!!), Brawl, Scorponok or Bonecrusher (my favourite...) - they need to make some!

So, who else likes this little guys and wants to see more?

[decepticonjon]

word, i'm a big fan, they're easy to find and cheap and well, like you said, charming is the best word for them. i'm really looking forward to unicron

[Homer]

Yeah man, these things kill.

The Star Wars line has larger vehicles and animals. I think it would be great to get a larger version of Unicron down the road, or even some of the larger bots in general in a larger size, somewhat in scale with these smaller guys.

[Asderiphel]

These guys ARE awesome. 100%. More fun that I would have possibly imagined, especially after owning some of the SW Galactic Heroes.

If they produced every TF that ever showed up in the G1 and/or BW line, I would be ecstatic. This is and will be my completionist line.

Same here! I'll only be able to pick up a set every once and awhile, but one thing's for sure, I'm getting all of them.

[Galvatronus]

Love this line. Hopefully it will continue for quite some time covering most of the G1 characters. I must have a Galvatron robot hero!!

[--B--]

They are awesome. Just look at the detail on Shrapnel/Insceticon. It's got a great design and perfect paint apps. I plan on getting the entire G1 part of the line. Not a big fan of the movie ones. In fact, I'm more than half way there.


On a bigger bonus, my 2 year old and I can sit and play with them for a long time, which is pretty impressive for that age. He normally gets tired of a toy in a few minutes.

[Jaw Crusher]

I like'em. In fact, I used Grimlock, Shockwave, Ravage and Shrapnel to fill out the gaps on the shelf where all my SCFs are lined up. Granted, they're about an inch smaller than the SCFs, but then they don't look as out of place as MyClone Wreck-Gar, Sideswipe or Trypticon do.

I have three girls (7, 5 & 1) and and we have a good time playing with them, along with other transformers. THe odd thing is that they will play with their toys like My Little Pony or, more recently, Shrek toys when I use the TF. So it's funny to them all go to the store and shop for things. Nothing funnier then a domesticated Grimlock

[Hairball178]

I've got all of them so far, and I want to get the 5-pack when I find it.

I think it'd be cool if they made little playsets/carrying cases. Think how cool it would be to have an Iacon base that folds out (think Castle Greyskull/Snake Mountain from the old Masters of the Universe line), or an Autobot/Decepticon city...and a Unicron carrying case, which could be a kind of homage to the original Star Wars carrying cases.

And if Hasbro can make larger-scale vehicles and monsters, then there's nothing stopping them from making a combiner or citybot by themselves.

And as for individual 'bots I wanna see (I can't remember who else is being made besides the remaining'bots on the backs of the packages and Sideswipe, so correct me if they're being made):

Kup
Galvatron
T-rex mode Grimlock
Semi mode Prime (with trailer!)
Roller
Brawn
Powerglide
Blaster
Prowl/Bluestreak/Smokescreen
Arcee
Cyclonus
Scourge
the rest of the Dinobots
Devastator (package him by himself)
Ironhide/Ratchet
Frenzy/Rumble
Laserbeak/Buzzsaw

[Hotrod]

I usually do not buy non transforming Transformers but I am getting all of these guys

[Crankcase]

I love these little guys. I hope this line continues for a long time. I'd love to see all the G1 figures and then the beast wars figures, all get the robot heroes treatment. I have every TF Robot Heroes figure available, including the wal-mart exclusive 5 pack. Man am I finding it hard to wait for future waves to get released.

[Jestermon]

I want to see combiners, not that I do not want the individual bots, but small combiners, would be very neat, the large figures would be neat, but I would want to see combiners, I tink that would be a fitting exclusive set, A scramble city pack with combiners and little Metroplex.

[pittsburg_22_m]

They are stupid, they don't transform, and poses are all a bit....umm....weird. I didn't say I didn't have all of them, impulse buy. But not anything I'm going to say is great or good.

[Judge Deliberata]

They're adorable. :3

I only have Grimlock Vs. Shockwave, but that will change soon. Like I've said, it's awesome to finally own some form of my fave G1 Decepticon - nay, my fave TF - without having to pay a buttload for him.

[Dclone Soundwave]

I love these things. They re-create old memorable characters in a new way that I enjoy. I especially love Soundwave (Obviously) & Ravage. I would like to see Hasbro finish his army of Cassetticons at least w/Rumble, Frezy, Laserbeak & Buzzsaw. And if Soundwave's in the mix, they gotta do Blaster & his Cassetticons. Same goes for the rest of the Dinobots. I love Grimlock as he is now, & I'd love it even more of they finished off those badass Dinos. And obviously we'll get Skywarp since we're getting Thundercracker. I'd like to see Galvatron though, seeing as how Rodimus exists. And some more Minibots. Primus knows we'll get Cliffjumper out of Bumblebee, & I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a Nemesis Prime. I want more of these things!!!!!

[spiritofcat]

Yes. They are awesome!
I have the first four sets and I'll definitely be getting the rest of the G1 figures as they appear.
It would be nice to have Grimlock in dino mode too though. Robot mode just doesn't suit him.

[Robzimus Prime]

I love them!

Below are some links to tfw2005.com that have pics of the exclusive 5-pack (Prime, Megatron, Skywarp, Cliffjumper, and "invisible" Mirage)...

+ they look pretty cool in the boxes.
I wanna keep my Lil heroes boxet!
then it will be my first 'mint in box' figures!

[Optimus Eeyore]

Just found Magnus, Megatron, Bumblebee, and Soundwave today. Sofar all fo them but the Sneak Attack set, Jazz, Thundercraker, Prime, and Unicron. I dunno so far nothing from the movie line has even vaguely caught my attention aside from the RC Spychangers. But these guys are too awesome. My wife actually loves them. And she just tolerates my collection.

[Cybertron Optimus]

I have the Ultra Magnus and Megatron set and the Grimlock and Shockwave set. They Rock!

[Redimus]

Meh, I keep seeing them, picking them up, looking at them, and very much decideing not to bother. I honestly cant see the point in them.

They dont transform, they arnt very posable.

But you know, deep down, you really want them


Just look at the detail of Shrapnel, or Shockwave, and you will have to buy them.

Plus, Rodimus looks like he's dropping a deuce.

[Seibertron]

I usually do not buy non transforming Transformers but I am getting all of these guys

Aside from Action Masters, these are the first non-Transforming figures to get the ol' Seibertron.com photo gallery treatment. I just finished galleries for all 17 of these lil' buggers. I love 'em! I've been checking out the Star Wars ones for the last couple of years as well as the recent Marvel ones. It's great to finally have lil' Transformers figures done in this unique style. I absolutely love 'em. And because of these guys, I've decided that I'll expand the galleries on Seibertron.com to include galleries of the SCF and Mega SCF figures at last. I can't believe the amount of detail that was put into these guys. Wow. Galleries should be up later this week.

Hopefully my galleries will convince him to buy them. They're awesome!!!
