The Energon Pub

I was hoping to see Optimus and Megatron packaged together, and Rodimus and Galvatron. That would make sense. I guess from a marketing perspective, it makes more sense to have a really popular character packaged with a lesser character, though. If they put Shrapnel with Cosmos, for instance, not as many people would pick it up as would Shrapnel with Hot Rod / Rodimus. So Megs and Galvs will be packaged with lesser Autobots.

If Hasbro is wondering if the toys will win over any female Transfans, well...

They've snagged this one.

As I mentioned in a previous thread, I think this is an insanely cool line.

For sure, I'll have to buy Optimus and Megatron!

Nice. Shame about Shrapnel's name though.

Very cute, despite the lack of transformations. (Hopefully, they'll do bigger Robot HEroes toys later like they did fro the Star Wars Galactic Heroes. Maybe those will transform)

Anyways, these are adorable, especially Ravage.... But I hope they venture beyond just using G1 characters at some point... I;d love a chibi Waspinator or Jetstorm.

I'll get these. I have some of the Star Wars, and am tempted by some of the Marvel, but with them being G1 Transformers, well, how can I resist?

Where's Arcee? And then Paradron Medic? We have to have some girls so the boy toys can catch cooties from someone...(sorry about the generalization).

Can't wait to see Sharkticons & Quintessons. And larger-scale figures for Combiners and such--ah crap, I'm getting carried away with this.

Aw Shrapnel? :-(

I got all excited when someone said it would be Kickback.

I see me buying damn near all of these. There goes multiple paychecks this summer.

by **DetectiveFork** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 10:36 am

Once again, MUST HAVE THESE! Kickback would have been awesome but Shrapnel's cool, too.

Awww, that Ravage is adorable!

I was hoping the Rodimus v Insecticon set would have been the Energon versions... I'm kinda getting sick of all this G1 stuff wherever I look.

by **Gaijin** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 10:57 am

And, here I thought this line was actually going to be cool. Rodimus and Insecticon... Give me a break! Oh, well, guess I will have to buy these and rename them for who they really are. Anyone want to guess if that is Rodimus Prime or Hot Rod?

Wow, quite a lot of good reactions on these products. Didn't expect that. Personally I don't really like them, I got the idea that Hasbro is still looking for even more ways to sell...

Sorry bout that, got the same MySQL error as Caelus

by **Dclone Soundwave** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 7:02 pm

Wy not Shrapnel? I like it better. And what about when Bombshell & Kickback come around? They can't call all three of 'em 'Insecticon'......whatever............

I'm going to have to get my hands on that Ravage.

I can't wait to see how you'll incorporate him into a sig!

I know a lot of people don't like the non-transforming Transformers but I personally like them. Just wish they'd use a different pose on that Prime, already have the 3" Titanium one. :-?
