The Energon Pub

Oh sweet jesus; the thirst is real!!

[fenrir72]

Looking forward to shipping my HLJ Private Warehouse!

I'm surprised Megatron hasn't sold out yet, actually.

@ amiami he sold out (cheapest online price) Y 5650

[Sabrblade]

Armada Megatron: Takara's, hands down.

Scourge/Black Convoy: Both are about equally nice, but I'm content with Fun Pub's.

But Takara Armada Megatron will never be on clearance at 30-ish $ down the line.

mmm getting excited for Scourge/Black Convoy here - never had the chance to get the TFCC one, and Megatron looks ace... but not enough attachment to the character to warrant getting him as I've already got the Hasbro version (for a sweet introductory price too.)

[megatronus]

The Armada Megatron is beautiful. I'm excited for it.

Scourge - I really like it. I need to find some dough in the budget...

[The Thuggernaut]

I am SO ready to drop money on that Scourge! TFCC Scourge was amazing but was just out of my financial range, so does anyone know of a place I can preorder Takara's Scourge besides RobotKingdom?!

[Convoy]

Exhibit A:


One of my favorite figures of all time!

Exhibit F:


One of my all time least favorite figures.

Differences:
A: Trailer
Bigger size
Thicker plastic

F: No trailer
Tiny
Thin sharp plastic

I've got both molds. The Laser Prime mold in the form of RID Scourge. (wish I had Black Battle Convoy from Car Robots. I just love those mirrored stickers with the upside down G2 insignias!)
The, whatever you call it, that came in the giftset with the G2 Jazz deco and a couple legends. It just feels like garbage in my hands. Yeah, the recent mold has some added floppy articulation with balljoints.
I feel like I'm only seeing people who don't have the newer mold yet who actually want it. I don't know who would want two versions of the newer Scourge mold aside from completionists who need everything. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
I mean, I'm not a huge fan of blocks but a tiny guy with wrist and ankle articulation just doesn't quite do it fo me I guess.

Worst Update Ever.

IMHO. Your mileage may vary.

Once you go teal you'll forever be real! Yup, nothing beats the original.

[Robogeek1973]

Agreed, give me CR Black Convoy/RID Scourge over that deluxe any day of the week.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

I have him (the CR Version, yay), the regular RtS Laser Prime and I still want either TFCC or the Legends version of Black Convoy. Come to think of it, he has yet to appear in any Club Fiction in that body. What is up with that?

Always wanted to buy RID Scourge, definitely gonna get him at some point; it seems like everyone's always really tealin' it with that figure.

(Also, score for me, both a Smash Bros/Xenoblade reference, AND a pun!!)

[Sabrblade]

Good question. Same with Punch/Counterpunch having never appeared in the Sunstreaker/Sideswipe body (unless you count that one convention announcement trailer).

When did that go up? It wasn't in their newsletter yesterday. I pre-ordered Black Convoy

[prjkt]

I woke up to the email this morning. Preordered Black Convoy as he's only a few dollars more than RK and I've got a decent PoL already

[Wolfman Jake]

Anyone else starting to feel like this June is quite a crowded month for Transformers releases this year? No offense to anyone chomping at the bit to get these latest offerings in their collection (I too preordered Takara's "Armada" Megatron and Black Convoy earlier this evening), but I kind of hope some of these releases will be delayed just a bit, if only to give my wallet a chance to breathe. Usually, things seem to pile on for the holiday season, but this year, it seems the late spring/early summer is going to be the bulk of the annual offerings.

Just imagine if you're buying other stuff besides Transformers

I do. I've got a subscription to Masters of the Universe Classics, both the 2015 bundle and the MOTU 200X add on. Luckily, that collection should be "complete" at the end of this year.

I work for a living, Moosey. I don't have an unlimited flow of cash, though.

I wasn't implying that you didn't have a job. I merely meant for that to be a reference/joke, sorry if you or anyone else was offended by that.

No problem, then. The connection you were making with that quote went over my head. No offense taken, now.
