The Energon Pub

Of course minicon madness happens after I decide to collect 'em all.

So this guy:
Is awesome and has a hair ball problem.

And does the minicon turn into a robot chicken? Cause it looks like a chicken to me.

I guess we shouldn't think about the end of the series but instead appreciate what we'll still be getting from it. Poor Strongarm doesn't get a figure. Hopefully she and some Decepticons with Autobot Minicons also come along. Could be a fun little line. And Warrior Grimlock may finally be in scale.

First hasbro has to see how the new line goes, sales wise, then, if it succeeds, it can be full steam ahead.

Funny you should say that. If the deployed stays where it is in vehicle mode, the car essentially lays a minicon egg.

I'm kind of digging Crazybolt. I also think the deployed gimmick works better for him and Overload than it did for the first two.

It just occurred to me. If Crazybolt is a nod to the Beast Wars Neo character, who was a frilled lizard, then RID Crazybolt is like a dilophosaurus that spits minicons!

Ha! Dino hair balls

Crazybolt looks rather like a toad to me.

I like that one of the Minicon sphere is a spitting image of one of the old Microchange/ Kissplayers Sparkbot / Beast Wars EggBot toys. (the bird one).

Overload looks quite good inside the parametres the line sets itself.

I will have to stroke my chin a bit about the new smaller scale main character toys - if I like them may depend on if they are the same size as Combiner Wars Legends class or bigger.

I'd actually like them to be the smaller size. Not that I dislike scouts - but the other size is more of the default size for that sort of thing than scout size is.

Over all Interesting and I'll buy some if they sell them cheaply enough.

Crazybolt's robot mode is a bit odd, but I do like the vehicle mode, the shape reminds me of the Tim Burton Batmobile. I'll definitely buy him, though the only accompanying Mini-Cons I'll get for him are the ones that appear in the show.

I like the two new deployers as well as the new mini-con shape, makes sense that they're round so they can roll. I'd be lying if I didn't add that just looking at the pics, has caused me to loose interest in the mini-cons; the same limited molds over and over. The Commander Class is where it's at for me. I've always liked smaller figures.

Those minis are looking pretty cool. At least Jetstorm is getting an individual release (in the wrong colors though) So I can get the minis without the deployer. yay!!

And some of the designs do look cool, plus the energon bits

And how about that Crazybolt? That is weird as all get out man

Having just looked at the new battle packs, looks like some interesting stuff. The snap on armor definitely is cool, and the molds actually look pretty good and cool. Love Optimus and that battle axe, not to mention how the Grimlock armor homages his AoE look. Overall, lookin good!

I'm digging Crazybolt's crazy look and the new round minicons. At first blush I thought crazybolt was an Ani Lockdown repaint.

Oh the puns! the puns shall never end!

Stop it guys, you are seriously croaking me up

Where's Cobotron, he has to see these. Gee a line about small action figures that have transluscent armour which combines into something, I wonder where tey got that awesome idea.

I am getting this for sure, though not sure if I will wait for a sale or not. Not clearance for sure, but TRU makes a sale often enough that I will at least wait a bit. No rush but these are sure to find a home with me. Also, that Grimlock armour is genius, it turns RID grimlock into AOE grimlock!

And man, I cant wait to know what bonus figures cane be made from next year's new minicons.

Hmmmmmmm? I don't know? Microman!

Ya all this looks AWWWWWZZZUUUMM!!!!
My jaw hit the desk when I read "Commander Class" and saw all the armor. I love the stoopid deployers too. And all the minicons. Damnit! So much to buy.

How awesome will Commander class Grim and Prime be with the Legion toys?

Well we don't know how big they will be, could be that they are akin to the foreign market cyber series...

Always a ribbiting conversation on Seibertron.

Dope is the word you are looking for (and why isn't the thumbs up emotibuddy on the first page?)

Like Cobz suggested, more than likely they will be the voyagers to the legion figures.

They do look to be a nice size class that's for sure. And the fact that they come with weapons: YES!

What? You don't know the shorthand code for it by heart?
