The Energon Pub

The other day, I had a few Bees show up (the two on the left are the new ones).


They've been added to the swarm, and at least 5 more will be joining them this week hopefully! (not pictured but around the house, RTS legend class Gold Bumblebee, KREON G1 Bumblebee, and an additional Generations legends Bumblebee).


And, this lil' guy arrived.

He's got diecast!! WHAT?! He's pretty sweet, what's also nice is his legs aren't stuck together at the ankle by a post so the knees operate independently! I've been informed that the stock sticker sheet is worthless and Reprolabels is the way to go. I'll probably order them this week if I can decide on the myriad of other labels I want to pick up..

That is a cute little Sixshot!

2/6 sixshot.
i think my swarm is bigger

It may be, but I've had a few of mine for almost twice your lifespan!!

do you have two ultimate bumbles
two hftd bumblebees and about 30 others from flea markets and etc.
so that doesnt account for who has the most of him

I have the regrets from selling a few of my Bumblebees over the last year, so now I need to track them down again I'm also trying for at least one of each version from the Bayverse, meaning if he was two forms in one movie (old Camaro/new Camaro) I'd like one of each. High Octane from AoE will be here this week, still need to find the specific version of the original Camaro from the first movie.

You'll learn, quality over quantity. I probably won't pick up any of the Bayverse legends ones, and I'd rather just have one from each Bayverse movie but the HA one is too big for everything else.

I've seen the list. The first Bayverse film had two different Camaros (1977/2007 Concept), both available in deluxe class (and other classes, but deluxe is what I care about) and the AoE film has two different Camaros (1967/2014 Concept), both available in a deluxe.

HA really is, I performed a slight leg modification on him over the weekend so it looks a little more screen accurate. You can see it in the image a few posts up. Someone posted that a while ago but of course I wasn't super active on the forums back then.

See, to me the Human alliance one is a pain in the butt. I really don't like him terribly much and seldom actually transform him. He just feels.... not fun for me. But i still keep him around

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! Give it another go! Things just fall in to place. It's cooooooooo. Except the head on mine keeps popping off SUPER easy

The deluxe Camaro Concept from the first movie frustrates me as the Automorph doesn't always trigger properly. But when it does? Gravy.

I don't really like the legs and how they work, and his arms are really funky. The human alliance part is what frustrates me considering what it forced his arms to do. Leadfoot suffers the same way unfortunately. At least they both look good in car mode

You don't like automorph gimmicks.
What till you get the 78 camaro Bee

Oh worrrrrrrrrrrd? I like the legs The HA kibble would've been nicer with an extra hinge so it could be more compact, I'm sure that wouldn't have hurt the functionality.

Errybody loves the Automorph when it works!! I think it gives it more of a transformery feel. Gears and sprockets and cogs moving in tandem to change something from one form to another! JUST LIKE REAL LIFE!!

Pretty excited about both old Camaro Bees. TFL found what I needed with the exception of Hunt for the Decepticons Battle Blade Bumblebee. Once that one is found, I'll have everything I need, almost..

Also, these kids are hanging out with me at the office! I've had them in alt mode the last few days zooming them around. Like a child.

you keep mp bee at your office. of ccourse not as bad as Mr. Desk.

Well, MP Bee is far more portable than MP Shockwave and the like, but he was here too!! I bring a lot of figures in, the florescent lighting mixed with natural lighting and the nondescript desk and cubicle walls make pretty good backdrops for all sorts of characters!

the Age of Extinction Bee was a great one. I do enjoy playing with him and swapping him around. But I am glad that the Last Knight is giving him back his wings. He needs those

WHAT?! WINGS?! How you know of these things?! I thought he had those in the last movie..? I can't watch it anymore. Entirely too long for me.

No, in the last movie his transformation scheme changed pretty good. the doors went somewhere else and what you could vaguely call wings were those ninja stars mounted on his back. And the new trailer and his character art for the movie both showed him going back to his movie 3 appearance more or less, scrapping the Age of Extinction look

Man, MP and AoE Bee are on polar opposites, but make a great pairing like wine and cheese

Bumblebee without wings is like a night sky without stars. I didn't even notice he didn't have them in AoE. Which may highlight one of my biggest problems with the bayfilms. Not enough bot screen time.

Like that one movie where Bee and Barricade are having what I assumed was an epic throw down and all we got to see was a couple flesh bags getting chased by a cell phone (or whatever they were actually doing (I've only watched each movie once and half assed at that)).

I don't have any problems with the movies, they're just not my bag. When you do get to see bot fights the movies are awesome. I'm here to see giant robots beat the crap out of each other and on the note the movies leave me wanting. They are fun if not disposable bubble gum pop.

I'll catch the new one at some point, probably at someone else's house like I did with AoE.
