The Energon Pub

Bulkhead's review is out by PvP.



The usual tealleafers shouldn't complaint. The thing is out in France. No way someone from the UK needs to go through a "back door" to get it.

Wouldn't surprise me if In Demand Toys have also started sending them out

Nah its pvp, it will still be coated from the lubricant used to get it out of the factory.

Well, he’s got the box too. So, yeah. It’s pretty legit this time.

Yeah, we know that he buys from people who find it and has them ship it to him. These toys are out now, every review from here on out showing the box is of a toy purchased within the proper channels.

I was surfing around eBay and I forgot about SG Ultra Magnus. So in the wake of Legacy OP anyone care for a Shattered Glass UM with this mold for the Shattered Glass line?


You people can have this new Laser OP but a new Nemesis/Black/Scourge yes please! Even a new Toxitron indeed.

SG Magnus is still in the air regarding which mold he'll use but you are getting Scourge, courtesy of the Walmart Exclusive line.

I wouldn't say up in the air, it's basically confirmed he'll be either Siege or Kingdom since that's how he looked in the comic and everyone else who previously had a different SG design are now redecos of their WFC selves

The reasoning is sound, but that's not what "confirmed" or even "basically confirmed" means.

Really?

Something being confirmed means it's now certain. There's a trend with contemporary SG figures, so it's reasonable to assume that this will follow that pattern, but as the saying goes, "past performance is no guarantee of future results."

There are lots of counter-arguments to various degrees. For example, if they had decided to use a new Legacy mold even before the comics came out, would they have revealed that to the artists so far ahead of time? Probably not. Could they develop a new comic series to promote the next wave, and include a new Magnus body as part of the story? Of course. That's not to say it will happen, just that it could.

If something is "basically confirmed," we need evidence, not speculation. Even rumors suffice if the source is reliable. Short of an official announcement or in-hand pics, I want to hear someone has seen the actual product design. Anything else is just guessing, even if it's good guessing.

I wonder how RTS Optimus mold would look hauling Legacy Prime trailer...if he can at all...?

When that Leader Lazer Prime is properly out, I too, look forward the comparisons and compatibility.

I will also add the OG vintage one for the comparisons plus mix-n-match.

It was specifically the Siege mold in Issue #5 of the comic.

It was specifically the Siege mold in Silhouette in issue #1 as well.

Thanks to Preternia on Twitter via InDemand Toys in the UK, we have news that official stock images for the 3 new beast figure repaints of Sandstorm, Buzzsaw, and Nightprowler have been revealed!

These 3 figures have been rumored for a while, including leaked reviews of the figures going back over the last 2 months. Well, now we have official stock images and the box art images, which interestingly reveal these figures will be in Legacy packaging and are not as far as we can tell Selects releases. This is an interesting development, though we currently do not know if this means they are part of the mainline, or if they will be exclusive to a single or multiple stores. There is the potential given the timing that we will learn more at today's Fan First Friday.

Check out the stock images below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

Seriously? Buzz Saw's a retail release?! HELL yeah!!

They spelled Buzz Saw's name as one word "Buzzsaw" instead of two.

He's not mainline, he's some kind of exclusive (though I don't remember where). Like Road Rage and Runabout being exclusives while also being in normal packaging.

These are all cool, but I'll be skipping them. Gotta stick to Beast Wars 'main' show cast.

Its even worse than Road Rage and Runabout because these are exclusive to Walmart. Just great...

Makes me super glad to have Pulse Premium, when those go up on Pulse with the limited stock like the other walmart items, I will grab and hopefully avoid the walmart trap

They need to keep this same energy for the Velocitron stuff that's coming.

Ya know, I had kinda forgotten that that line was going to be walmart exclusive, and unlike the netflix line it has stuff I know I will want, so unlike netflix I may have to actively try to find this stuff.
