The Energon Pub

News Credits: 79 · by **Sigma Magnus** » Tue Jun 06, 2017 7:07 pm

So, thread's been a little quiet (partly my fault), so popping in for a quick update: School is out for me on Monday, then I have a test...Wednesday? I think? Then it's all summer for me...and, my grades are great this quarter, so I should be getting a personal laptop (and I'll also be allowed to get TFs again)! So hopefully expecting some hauls and more TF Adventures, so long as I don't get creator's block. If that happens, then I'll just post some awesome poses.

D'awww...looks like everything worked out well after all.
I'm happy for them.

I'm just worried about Soundwave.
...?

I can't tell if it's a crush or simply friendship that he holds toward Tumbler, but if it's the former...I'm afraid of how far he'd go to get him back.

However...Soundwave is a kind soul. Gentle, more innocent than I was...I'm sure he'll be able to move on.
...is it just me, or does he sound like a comic book character?
I know, right? You can practically hear the separate speech bubbles in his voice.

...is this about the briefcase? You realise that didn't actually happen, right?
Pardon?
We're toys. We're intended to act a certain way, but we don't have to. The briefcase stuff, the Lost Light, a version of Rewind dying, that's all just part of our backstories. But we don't have to be like the people we're supposed to. We can be however we want, the backstories are just a suggestion. Some evolve from it, some away from it. That's why every toy is unique.
Ah man, now he's got you doing it too...

...Are our threads permanently linked, now? :lol:

Good work as always, Sigma.

Continuity! :lol:

Anyway, thanks! Wanted to get some exposition out, which I probably overthought a bit too much. Oh well.

*vroom*

*vroom*
...if I had eyebrows, I'd be raising them right about now.
You want eyebrows, I want a mouth. Can't win 'em all.

...aren't you able to remove your mouthplate?
I'm supposed to be able to.
So why can't you?
Cancelled accessory.
Hate those.

...so anyway, what in the Pit is he doing?
Your guess is as good as mine.
Go talk to him.
I'm not talking to the scraphead, you go talk to him!
Alright, alright!

Roddy, what is your problem--

--agh! Watch out, jeez!
Sorry, can't stop!
Why not?!

I need to reach 300mph so a portal will open and take me into a racing dimension!
...what the hell did you drink?!
...wait. Rodimus, did you watch one of Sigma's movies?
Yeah!
Movie? What movie would give him that dumb idea?

This one.
Oh Primus-dammit.

It was originally a double post, and I edited it to that after I noticed. :HEADHURTS:

Oh, okay.

I've seen you do that before and assumed it was either like a tap on the shoulder saying "hey, you guys didn't reply yet" or it was just a random thing meant to be similar to the "bomp".

Lol, I so random ANYWAY, all these cool toys coming out are making me nervous. I still gotta get wave four of TR, now five and Trypticon are showing up, and TLK is everywhere... :BANG_HEAD:

Are you trying to get catch 'em all? Hope you have enough Pokeballs. :-P

If I had any of those, I'd be saving them for an Eevee. :lol:

But yeah, trying for TR mainline deluxe completion. Then I want Trypticon so the 'Cons have a home; I want Brawn, Cosmos, Seaspray, and maybe 'Bee; then from TLK I want voyager Prime, Megs, and Nitro, deluxe Cogman, the new 'Bee, and maybe Crosshairs, then there's all the RiD and CW scrap I missed...ugh.

How many TFs do you have already, anyway? I'd bet 20 shotguns if I had 'em that there's more than what I have.

On the bookshelf behind me alone, there's around 50.

Where the hell do you get the money for all them? You've probably been collecting them for longer than I have, but still...

For the unwanted half of my collection (ie: from back when I was little and just wanted Transformers whether they were good or not, and currently occupying boxes upstairs), about seven years of random gifts. For the other half, also gifts...very refined and calculated gifts. I've become a bit of a control freak around Christmastime, for better or worse...all in all, I rarely buy TFs myself. Hopefully that'll change in a year or so when I finally get off my hind end and get a job.

Wow. Only 6 of mine weren't from my own money, so that's hard for me to picture... wow.

Ha, sounds cool!

This isn't necessarily a question to the toys but... is it just me, or is Cerebros's Autobot badge crooked? It looks crooked to me.

Yeah, it is. Blame my sloppy sticker application on that one...
Good job, ya plumbus.
I said I was sorry!

Well look at you two slackers.
Not a whole lot else to do this time of day.
...eh, you got me there. You have fun, I'm gonna sit...
...wait a click, what do you got over there?

...oh hey, you got some more Energon!
Yup.

Hey hey hey! Don't drink it.
Aw, why not?

It's my share. I'll get you yours soon, little buddy. *pat pat* Don't worry.
Alright...since when do you like football?
Dad's mug, not mine.
Noted.

...you seem like a lightweight. I've noticed you've been drinking a little more every time, and you started with barely a shot glass...
Trying to work up a tolerance. It's good stuff, helps keep the edge off...
...wait. You're human. Right?
Pretty sure, yeah.
So why are you drinking Energon in the first place?
Oh, uh...

...no reason... (Might have to zoom in.)

*involuntary squee*

Stay away from the green Synth stuff. I mean, just frikkin' stay away.

Edit: And it doesn't really matter why as long as it tastes good, right?

It does sound quite dangerous...maybe I'll look into a better recipe.

While there is a purpose behind me drinking it, the taste is a very nice bonus. :))

It's nothing, really. I live for this stuff.

"Quite dangerous"? Watch Season 1 Episode 22 of Transformers: Prime and you'll see how dangerous that stuff really is.
