The Energon Pub

This is what I'm doing at the moment.



Definitly going to replace Exhaust with Jet Blast Off. I like Exhaust s a stand alone.
Luckily I picked up an extra Vortex on clearance somewhere. Of course that sets up the whole, heli -in-a-team-of-jets scenario all over again. (which never bothered me in the first place)

Do you have photos of just exhaust?! He looks gorgeous!

UW Completed Cyclonus well (Grand Galvatron). Since the only difference in CW & UW Cyclonus is color, I consider them to be the same. Wheras Starscream, Elita-1, and Inferno will be missing 2 limbs each until Hasbro decides to remedy this. Prior to PotP all Voyagers had 4 Deluxe Limbs, perfect symmetry for me.

I wish I would've picked up UW Galvatronus when I had the chance. For that matter, I wish I would've grabbed UW Sky Reign too then I could've gotten Smokescreen as an extra limb, now they're all way too expensive if they're available at all (and I'm not getting another Sky Reign set just for Ratchet.

I'm planning on getting Cyclonus, and giving him CW Blastoff, once I get the exclusive Shuttle Blastoff to go with my CW Bruticus.

Cyclonus will also get PotP Darkwing and Dreadwind, and then I'm missing one more evil Jet limb for Cyclonus.

Any suggestions? No Alpha Bravo Repaints please since I'm tired of him, and he's not a Jet.

Do you have any plans for Golden Lagoon Starscream? He could be another limb.

I myself am gonna repurpose him as Sunstorm so that he's not just another Starscream.

Links for folks who haven't got in on these guys yet. The markup and shipping were minimal for me, with preorder discount,saving me gas and time looking. YMMV but my preorder went in no problem.

If you feel like doing custom work, there are several late G1 or even G2 Decepticon jets which aren't seekers:
Windsweeper (also has a Funpub version)
Eagle Eye
Afterburner
Terradive
Windrazor
Fearswoop
Hooligan
Skyjack
Space Case
Wind Sheer

Still really hoping we somehow get Thundercracker and Skywarp from that mold.

Oh wow...Thanks, and thaks triKlops as well. I saw the Podcast story, but it only showed pics from the animated episode, I didn't think there were any actual toys involved. Also I'm glad Starscream is being sold separately. I'll DEFINITELY be calling mine Sunstorm, and now PotP Starscream will be a little closer to completion.

Still no pre-order links though correct? I want to jump on this as soon as possible so I don't have to play super expensive catch-up like I did with Grand Scourge.

Only up at TakaraTomy Mall so far.

Well, that's kind of the joke isn't it...With the Electrum coating, all 3 look exactly the same, so you cols purchase 3...Unless you meant down the line would make original colored Thundercracker & Skywarp from that mold...

I think he meant normal Thundercracker and Skywarp.

Ordered my Blast Off! I'm so stoked, even if he works way better as a jet. I didn't even know about Unite Warriors Shuttler though, I wish that had gotten a US release. I'll still be satisfied with my brown boy, but I like that realistic color better.

Yep. POTP Starscream needs some proper limbs!

Overcracker wrote:Thanks, but Too golden.

That's why I'm repurposing him as Sunstorm so the shiny golden look makes sense in a non-circumstantial way.

Overcracker wrote:Voyager Starscream, plus Ghost Starscream, Golden Lagoon Starscream, and any 2 other Starscreams they decide to release. Mabe Darkwing can be repurposed as G2 starscream?

Possibilities....

I may try to track down a UW Thrust, if its not too expensive. Have a thing for that Armada color scheme.

There's also SG Starscream, but he's technically a good guy so...I have him with my BC Prime team until (if ever) I get a proper Modulus.

There's the Repo Labels set that turns Air Raid into Skyjack.

Now that's a good idea.

Now I don't need to complete the reply I was generating! The sheet's here: https://toyhax.com/for-comb-wars/2257-l ... yjack.html

While the sheet has a sticker/s to change his face to Skyjack's, those with a bit more cash could spring for a whole new Skyjack head on Shapeways. I'll just be doing the stickers...IF I can find an Air Raid!
