The Energon Pub

[Nemesis Maximo]

Everybody is talking about their Devastator and here's me with an empty wallet.

Its ok, I have an empty wallet too... after buying Takara's Devy

But still, it does suck to see everybody having a good time with their devastators when you dont have your own. Don't think I will be able to brag as much when my Takara one comes in since everyone will be over the mold at that point.

Hey, what happened to all the b!tching and moaning about Scrapper's arms?

Your time will come munkimus!!

WJ: Devastator has MORE than enough articulation to make up for the lack of Scrapperbows

Amd UW Devs has ACTUAL Scrapperbow articulation. So I'll wait for that. Much as it may pain me, I will wait.

You wanna go grab a beer while we wait?

... and I have no idea how I'm going to get Defensor.

Sorry if I missed it in almost 400 pages of CW thread, but is Australia not getting regular release CW, or do you just gotta have Groove?

I gotta have Groove.

And I don't know about Hasbros release, CW hasn't been very well distributed. I'm fairly certain I'd still be waiting to complete Superion.

[Ironhidensh]

So for those of you with this guy in hand, is he really worth the massive price tag? I like devastated, I'm just having an extremely difficult time justifying the price tag.

I'm going to go with Takara Devy Myself but the wait will be painful.

Very cool. I just couldn't pass up what ends up being a $100 difference for me after shipping/taxes. I think the only thing I wish he had (Devastator that is) would be purple fists. Playing with him some more last night he is just incredibly well built.

$150 (at BBTS) for six Voyager figures... that's $25 per figure - standard price for Voyagers. It's in line with the price of normal figures, so I don't have any problem justifying it.

And its a steal compared to any other option.

I got it for $127 after tax at TRU. COMPLETELY worth it I feel better with these figures for the price versus Metroplex who I purchased at $130. If that helps. When combined it is really awesome and the pricepoint thoughts go away.

Not what I meant, really. I was referring more to the quality of the figure. See the most recent Voyagers I bought were combiner wars Silverbolt, Motormaster, and Optimus prime. Using various coupons and savings deals I had at the time, I got them each for a little over $18. With the exception of Silverbolt, I feel like I very much overpaid.

I'm not talking about price relation to other transformer toys, I'm talking quality and satisfaction in hand.

[Ironhidensh]

Double crap

I thought you already got the UW-01? You also going to get the Hasbro version?

Yes.

And yes... My set from BBTS came in sometime between 11 and 12...
I'm not going to give a review.
But it's definitely worth it.

I promised I'd post this when I got Devastator, and so I proudly present:

Well you were pissing and moaning about everyone else's responses not answering your question. So I did.

Throw some cardboard down, have MC Hiphoptimus Prime spin some beats and and let the boys in green devastate some old school breakin'!

[razingstorm]

Mine came in today, and I'm glad I didn't spend extra on Takara or SDCC. I am completely satisfied with Devy, and since it came with the 6 in vehicle mode, I had a ton of fun putting him together.

Poor YotS Omega wasn't prepared for his nemesis all roided up.

Congrats!! I unpacked them from the box, went to bot mode, then "Phase One" followed by "Phase Two"!! Awesome times

Man I wish I picked up that YotS Omega Supreme. Not sure how I missed it..

You can always pick up the Energon version, its the same mold. I got myself the Omega Sentinel version and just pretend he's a blue Omega

[Sowndwave76]

Thought I'd share a few pics of this awesomeness...

Not completely true as the YotS Omega Supreme was remolded with a new non headmaster G1 head and claw hand.
