The Energon Pub

These look so awesome. I love me some little energon critters.

It dawned on me, they're totally going for a Beyblade thing aren't they?

How much are these pretties supposed to retail for?

I'm gonna guess $9.99. I know your up Nort, so same as a Legends, but thats just a guess. I hope they're a little cheaper.

I think it's more like bacugan due to the one step transformation from a basic geometric shape.


And they will retail for 4.99$ us each.

Or indeed the redesigned casseticons from Fall of Cybertron:

They had said before that the Energon animals were an unadvertised feature so we'll probably have to wait for one of us to buy them all and figure it out I guess.

Do you have a quote? Because those animals were shown at the toyfair during the presentation.

Sandsting? Why not Scorponok!

Scorpinok could be a future main character perhaps.

I'd love that, particularly if they made his head somewhere between BY and G1 Scorponok.

Unfortunately they weren't shown there either. They told us about that feature on the show floor and laughed about how they forgot to really bring that up anywhere else

Thanks Scotty, I thought they were shown based on the written presentation feed, my mistake. I know you and Ryan were laughing while saying that they will probably not be in the instructions either. Do you guys think that will actually be the case?

Wouldn't surprise me, I think they view it as more of an Easter Egg than an actual selling point.

Too bad, I love this kind of stuff and if hardcore collectors knew of this it might encourage them to get them all for the extra figure. Akin to the Marvel build a figure waves which I know Jon thought should be implemented in the Transformers line.

It'd be neat if they could do an actual transforming Collect-and-build figure.

These guys do look really cool. I'm diggin the little squirts! I may not get any of them, or even just get one for the heck of it since they're expected to be cheap, but they are really cool! The combined energon figure is a nice touch too.

I guess it's that time of year where we get all the minicon news. Following yesterday's pictures, we now have a few more showing for the first time how the main Deployer figure (in this case Drift) can use the clear weapons reserved for the minicon. We also see how the minicon can plug into the deployer while still wearing the clear gear. This also gives us a great comparison to the Warrior Drift figure. The photos were found on autobase aichi's blog site Snakas.

Deployers Drift has a nice headsculpt.

I'm cautiously excited about these...

I'm digging Drift's new look

Pleeeaase edit your quotes everyone. It sucks to have to scroll through and see a multi-picture news story quoted, especially when its followed by a one sentence response.

Hot off the heels of the Drift Deployer reported earlier today Autobase Aichi isn't done with us yet, for now they bring us Transformers Robots in Disguise: Deployer Fracture and AirRazor! The figure is shown in both modes and with his Minicon all bling'd up in additional (and fashionable) clear plastic. We also get to see a comparison with the 1-Step Fracture, but unfortunately only in alt mode. See the pics below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com: home for the best Galleries and Conversation around!

I forget, is Fracture an earth motorcycle in the show? I thought he was a hover bike.

S'kinda what I figured after seeing those two bikes together
