The Energon Pub

For me I'm hoping for they do wheeljack and maybe punch/counterpunch figure.

Well, they're doing Sideswipe and Sunstreaker, as well as Prowl and Ironhide. So I'm pretty damn chuffed. Although I would like to see Blaster and his casettes. I'm happy with Energon Wheeljack myself.

I just want to see a new, not white Prime Ultra Magnus, and maybe some more combiners.

They also need to do Springer and a decent Broadside to even out the triple changer numbers on each side.

Runabout, Runamuck, Brawn, and Warpath!

Real classics Devastator, Galvatron, Prime Trailer, Ultramagnus, Voiyer Starscream, Sixshot, Soundwave with all cassets, Dinobots that eat Minicons. Fort Max, Tripticon, Unicron, Shockwave.... (I could go on for ever)

I'm just happy that Sunstreaker will be there. Everything else will be icing on the cake.

So basically, G1?

Having said that, I wouldn't mind seeing the whole of G1 made again using up-to-date techniques. The articulation would be amazing.

That's why I fell in love with Energon. So blocky, yet articulate. It was the closest thing to G1 I had seen in years.

Me too, shame they never made it to Germany:(
You know Fatimus Prime looks alot like G1 Prime, well exept for a little changes to him.

Yea G1 piped-up, that's what Classics is for!!!
Arrrrrrrrrrrr.

I'm hoping that the whole Minicon thing gets dropped next time around and we see some proper basics instead. If they were to do a decent set of updated Insecticons I'd buy swarms of the little buggers.

If the combiner that was announced at Botcon turns out to be from this line rather than Animated I'd hope to see the Predacons.

The non released Titanium Shockwave as a deluxe please Hasbro.

And lastly (yeah, I know, you're not supposed to start a sentence with 'and') I'd quite like to see the fan reaction if they put out a recoloured Starscream as Sunstorm. After the outcry about the Botcon seekers not being at retail a further reuse of that mould next year would really put the cat among the pigeons.

I realise that I'm basicly just asking for 'cons but most of the names that Hasbro have mentioned so far have been 'bots, only exceptions being Galvatron and Octane as far as I'm aware and I'm not that sold yet (sight unseen) on Octane as an ultra when we only got Astrotrain as a deluxe. I generally prefer smaller figs anyway.

Yarrrr....


Fattimus Prime is indeed very similar to G1 Prime. They just did that one thing wrong, that threw off the entire look. And his legs were lame. So maybe it's two things they did wrong.

Anything that doesn't feel "been there, done that". That's what I liked about the first Classics line... With the exception of the seekers, it wasn't rehashes so much as updates. Astrotrain became a sleeker, more moder train, Bumblebee got wings, etc. As long as they make sure that everything old really is new again, I'll be happy.

It would reallt make me smile to see some realistic, organic beast modes that could be used as disguises, though, maybe for the Insecticons? It's an odd double standard that vehicle modes that don't look like real vehicles tend to get a chilly reception, but nobody asks the same of beast alt-modes. Personallym, I can live with alt-modes that are further off from reality in either categgory if they're done well, but I miss having animal TFs that could actually use their beast mode as a disguise.

Ohh yeah, Voyeur Starscream, complete with Telephoto camera.
Takes pictures of unsuspecting Autobots when they think they have privacy with other autobot fembots.

Just kidding, i know you meant Voyager. I don;t think they'd produce another Starscream in a different size for this line.


Seriously, Wheeljack would be cool, but something tells me Hasbro doesn't own that name anymore, and can't use it. Otherwise they would have called Energon and Cybertron Downshifts Wheeljack.

Anyway, I'd like to see The rest of the Dinobots in classics err New Universe treatment.

I would kill to have a combinable Stunticon Team, with a new Motormaster Truck. that isn't a repaint of Prime, and isn't called Menasor. Manasor is their combined form.

But again, probably Hasbro lost the rights to the name Motormaster.

Hoist, Inferno, Red Alert. The Protectobots.

I could go on.

And you should!
There's so many G1 characters that need some love.

And I'd love to have a Classics Sunstorm. I always liked his colour scheme.

megatron!

I want hound dammit. He's been my favorite character since the beginning and he needs a toy. I missed him in the Alternators.

Hound was very hard to get in the alternators. I only managed thanks to High Command.



I don't know why I never thought of him before. He'd be a brilliant addition to any Classics collection.

Did you miss Classics 1.0? Or are you just unhappy with that rendition?

Impossible.



Now, Classics really needs to step outside the box here. Some characters have perfectly acceptable versions in other lines which will and should count as Classics anyway.

We do NOT need Wheeljack (Energon Downshift), Galvatron (Energon Galvatron), Smokescreen (Cybertron Smokescreen) and so forth.

We DO need characters that would not have a chance otherwise. Triple changers (coming...), Predacons, Trailbreaker, Bluestreak, and yes Punch could all use nifty upgrades.

Wheeljack, Ironhide, Ratchet, any of the other dinobots, Trailbreaker, Skylinx, Omega Supreme, Shockwave, Reflector, Cyclonus, Scourge, Blitzwing, G1 Seacons repaint, other combiners, etc. Maybe even Thrust, Dirge ,and Thundercracker. Despite of them being botcon exclusives.

I want to see Ultra Magnus as a brand new toy, PM Otimus Prime as more updated toy , Sixhort as a six changer, Galvatron as brand new toy too and Springer as a triple changer and maybe some repaints like Energon Bruticus recolored into G1 Bruticus.

Why waste those opportunities?

We already have very close approximations to Galvatron and Bruticus. We have Classics Magnus and Springer. (ULTRA Magnus is going to get a toy in the new animated line)

Why not go for characters that will assuredly be otherwise ignored?

Ok why not Sixhort. Sixhort as a six changer and as a more updated toy.

I would love to see Punch/CounterPunch and Sixshot get new toys. I've always wanted these two.

Blurr, Voyager Seekers as I stated befor, then the Botcon would still be exclusives and everybody would be able to have a complet set.
Skylinx, Quints, Smockescreen..... ran out of names at the mo. No wayt, Wreckgar! Scorge, Cyclonus, Reflector....

Agreed. Sixshot should get an updated figure.

I would like to see Arcee, Hound, Shockwave, Kup, Scourge, Cyclonus, Galvatron, the Dinobots, Blaster and his cassettes, Jazz, and Prowl.
