The Energon Pub

Aw man...this will be a sucky year for TF's. What I just saw was un-inspiring at best.

So with the Classics' being just a filler, everyone will buy these movie toys.

Am I the only one who thinks the movie toys aren't that great.

Those Star Wars Transformers look pretty cool except the Luke/snowspeeder

I'm disapointed in the size of the Vader/Death Star I thought it would be bigger

What is up with the AT-AT?

That optimus prime helmet looks RAWKIN!!!!!!!!! I'm so gettin one of those and goin to a anime convention with it lawl.

Thanks for the pictures guys.

You know what guys, you had to be there! I was helping a friend work, so I didn't get to browse around as much as I wanted to, but my head is still spinning from the tidbits I saw!

Now I know I have to make it to a BotCon and soon!

I think what appeals to me about the Clone Pilot (Republic Gunship) Seasee Tinn (EpII Jedi Starfighter) and Commander Cody (Clone Turbo Tank) is that all odf their faces are helmets. There is no weird human face sticking out. Seasee Tinn is wearing the helmet from the Clone Wars so it hides his face. Maybe Hasbro learned that we wernt liking the faces and changed them. I mean now they really do like transformerish.

I just hope that they have not dropped the Classics line. That was a cool toy line.

those are cool....but what happened to Classics? they seem to have blown away....

I LOL'd when I saw the "Hand" from Botcon in the pics.

There were no Classics shown.

Yes, it was a nice figure. One cool thing was that the final part of the transformation is the heads of the leader class. We saw Optimus head transformation (which in the stores is thing you push inside the box on the toy to try it out), but only saw Megatron on display.

Not sure if I should click this link or not... I didn't know Hasbro was into that sort of thing...

Still, this is a really really disapointing Toy Fair... I mean, the movie is coming out this summer and Hasbro shows us a whopping two transformers figures! This sucks...

Still Prime and the Ultimate BB are nice...

Ultimate BB was amwesome. The animatronics were like Disney World stuff. It's unbelievable to have a transforming figure with that much real robotics in it.

So Ultimate BB has animatronics? I thought it only had electronic features like headlights and sound effects.

Those look like really well designed Transformers, it's a real shame they had to be based of fugly POS designs cos if they'd been based on something that looked good I might actually be convinced to buy them. As it stands Hasbo/Takara have done the best they can with what they were give to work with, but no mater how you dress it up crap is still crap.

I'm really impressed with Hasbro's new Marvel figures, they look pretty cool as does the new G1 Joe stuff. I really wish they would stop it with 'Potatoising' ever franchise they get their hands on, its not big its not clever and its defiantly not funny.

Gotta love the way, even with the box stood next to him, Hasbro once again manage to mistransform their own toy... Despite that, Ultimate BB looks like a win to me.

Still not sure about prime, and DAMNIT, if they havent found my starwars weak spot... looks like im gonna have to get me a couple more, the Speeder and the ATAT...

That yellow Episode 2 Jedi Starfighter looks REALLY nice. I think I'll actually buy that one, wow.

Ultimate BB looks AMAZING. Never gonna be able to afford him though

Edit: Whoa, that's weird. Can anyone else not see my name?

I don't see your name .. and apparently this is your first post. So ahh ... welcome to the forums invisible person?

cool!

Yeah, that's super weird. And this isn't really my account. I had a ton of trouble making one, and ended up finally getting it to work with one called "endboss", which apparently doesn't exist anymore or something.

I hope I can get that one back, though this one might be a nice novelty.

so can you describe his looks did he look like any thing we have seeen? Also diid you see bonecrusher?

The only thing there I could even remotely be interested in is the Death Star. I'm still sitting on the fence with that one. Everything else is just junk. Bumblebee as a camaro, Prime with flames, the other SW TF's, childish Prime blaster, etc. Yup, downhill.

You sound very hard to please. You're basing your decisions off of their alternate forms! That's not a valid reason to hate them.

I love ultimate bb but why does it always have to have that blaster there, In the film, is his arm to be replaced with a blaster, seriously it is cool but collector (who what to get it.) don't you think it might get ignoring. And the prime, asum, I am happy that the hand blaster is removable and why not show the rest, don't they know that we all know what some look like. god!

My faith in star wars transformers has been restored
this is going to be a good year for them
all the new figures are well done, except the snowspeeder, i get the movie starscream vibe from it,
I don't want to wait until the end of the year for the Death Star!
I want it all now!

I don't rememeber BoneCrusher. But Megatron looked good as a robot, not like we are used to, but more like the bad leader in another Japanese Robot Anime.
