The Energon Pub

i would really want to see ferrari enzo, porche, lamborgini cars to transform into a robot. i want to see a 1:12 scale exclusives just for these exotic cars if they were ever considered to be release.

Well, Alternators are dead, so I guess it really doesn't matter anymore...

but will either hasbro or takara get licences from ferrari, porche, and lamborgini to make their transformer toys. do you think will that deal ever happen?

Porsche and Lamborghini are both a definite "no.", because they are owned/associated with Volkswagen, who do not want their vehicles associated with war.

Stupid, but true. We would've seen a really nice Alt Bumblebee if this hadn't been the case.

I'm kind of sad the Alts have ended, but honestly, the last few waves were practically impossible to find, and they were getting tired... nothing original was happening it was all just repaint after repaint. They were too expensive anyway.

which alternate mode that hasn't been made or seen on cartoon series before. but i never see a transformer boat, battleship, or submarine. in fact all alternate modes that has to function on sea had never been made.

wasnt Seaspray a boat? he talks like he is talking through bubbles or something =P even had a whole episode of him falling in love with some girl and turning human for a little bit

There are boats and battleships, all throughout G1, Armada, Energon and Cybertron.

G1 Seaspray for example. And one of the triplechangers, don't know his name...

Armada Tidal Wave...huge battleship.

Energon Mirage & that Cybertron fembot are both military boats.

There may have even been a submarine at one point, I just can't think of any.

Aston Martin
mmmm vanquish

which mode can you think of that hasn't been realize in the cartoon and toys. this will be your opportunitity to let the hasbro and takara producers to know that they forget one last mode.

What about a 1986 Toyota Corolla?

I don't know if you realize...Takara and Hasbro probably don't visit this site, and they certainly aren't going to listen to whatever we post. They do what they think will be profitable, nothing more. The only reason we got an Anime-accurate Masterpiece Starscream is there is a huge demand for it everywhere... they're sure to make a profit.

Don't get your hopes up by thinking anything we say here is going to affect Takara or Hasbro in any way.

If you truly want an ALternator type transformer with a Lamborghini alt mode, then Maybe you should consider Hapywells Lambo Roadbot.


Happywell makes few bots with different car alt modes. There's one with a Toyota Ladncruiser as an alt mode. and several others.

I'm almost positive there's a Lamborghini one. Anybody have the url to Happywell's website, and/or a pic to the Lambo Roadbot?

I wanted more Ford's, Dodge's, and a Plymouth Prowler.
No more Honda's, Mazda's, or other crappy imports.

I want a Saturn Outlook like the one I drive!

...except mine is "Midnight Blue"

I think the one that I wish Hasbro would have pushed harder for is the Volkswagon Bumblebee. Then we could have also gotten one in red as Cliffjumper.

I don't think any amount of pushing is going to change VW's mind on that. Shame considering they money they could have made off the movie....

For my shame I would have liked to have seen an MG Metro Alternator as a true homage to the 80's, very british though...

Woo Yea!!! the AE86 It would have to be the white and black panda version though

If only my friend, If only...

80's Trans-AM or a Delorean.

I wanna see KITT from Knight Rider as an Alternator. I should hire someone to make it happen, lol.

personally i would have liked to see some classic American muscle cars: 69 Dodge Chardger, 67 Mustang GT500, 67 Nova SS....and/or some classic cruisers: 49 Merc, 55, 56, or 57 Chevy BelAir, or the ultimate (IMO) 59 Cadillac DeVille...i really think this approach of combining transformers with licensed vehicles of Americas rich automotive history really could have helped this line out quite a bit. it would have been something different at least. classic hot rods meets transformers. makes sense to me. but i might be really alone on this one!

yes!! it can be Wreck-Gar!!!!

How about Alternators of the movie vehicles? That'd be awesome.

Also, would Unicron as Planet Earth count?


Why do people keep saying Alternators are dead? I heard they're waiting for the movie craze to finish!!!

The following was announced at botcon. It seems they will be dropping those lines because the returns were not too good.

No mentions of Alternators or Titaniums - had to make some choices based ... $2 million dollars invested in Alternators and die-cast in Titaniums ... Hasbro wasn't getting a return on their investment with those lines so they decided to focus on Classics 2.0.
Larger scales for Classics.
Similar number of figures as wave 1 in last fall's Classics line.
