The Energon Pub

Wow. Was NOT expecting that. Looks pretty good though, might have to get it.

The red and blue guy definitely has Generations Warpath's arms. The yellow guy I can't figure out. Looks like some kind of Alternators retool or something, but not quite. Strange.

Those are oversized KOs of the Warbotron Combaticons.

Found the Facebook post. Apparently, it is not an official thing, but rather an X2Toys figure, and it uses some parts from their Ultra Magnus upgrade kit.

The figure itself has a name: "Headwind" if I am interpreting correctly

While it'd be nice if they were making figures of someone who doesn't already have an official CHUG representation at that size... it's friggin' awesome that already third party companies are making something with Titan Master compatibility.

Now if only we could get 'em to make some Combiner Wars Limbs.

makes sense as my first impression was that is looked like an off-color Darkwing/Hydra

Whatever the case is, that Skyfire looks delicious.

Edit: That head looks, familiar...





Just reminds me a bit.

Great, now that you made it bigger, I cant unsee the Minions...

You're welcome.

Gnaw, Bee, nd Kickback sighted in MN as well. A mostly empty shelf in Cambridge Target aside from a fresh stock of Legends goodness.

Eh? do you need glasses? that thing looks horrible! it's not even Jetfire colours! looks more like Springer than Jetfire

I still say that they should've brought Jetfire into the Titans Return line

I think jetfire was a perfect release exactly where he was and one of the most underrated toys of all time (oh hell yeah, you bet there will be a list!)

It's a prototype. Not final colors if it even is an official toy.

Agreed. I wasn't collecting at the time, but I saw it when it was in stores, and have seen reviews of it. Working on too many wants as it is, but it a great looking toy to be sure.

Agreed as well. I've had the Takara version for a couple years now, and very glad it's in my collection.

It isn't official. You can even see the X2Toys watermark on the picture. It is theirs

Not entirely sure why one would want another Jetfire when he's had two very good updates; each one representing a different version of him, and one being very recent and in the same scale depicted here. At least Blitzwing had the excuse of his Thrilling 30 toy... not being one a lot of people were happy with.
There's so few Leader spots in the toyline I'd rather they not repeat a character unless they got said character horribly, horrifically wrong. Like, TFP Deluxe Airachnid wrong.

... man, I have never wanted that Classics mold more Certainly doesn't help that IDW's actually making me interested in the character. Primus have mercy on my bank account...

Its a good mold. what I did was get him in the form of threadshot, like that I get two have two different characters with two different molds.

And I dont think he's that pricey on the secondary market.

I got the generations leader version as a surprise, out of left field Christmas gift this year, and he is GORGEOUS. Just unbelievable. His proportions are perfect, he's got 0 kibble, and that anime mecha mask is the coolest thing ever. Damn, now I want to go take a ton of photos.

0 kibble?

So that Nose cone, and cockpit on his back just hanging out don't constitute kibble?
It's a pretty clean transformation I'll grant you that, but 0 kibble not so much.

The Classics Voyager version managed that better by actually turning the nosecone and cockpit into the chest. Instead of having a faux chest under the jet.

No that's as close to 0 kibble as you can get:

Well, yeah, the nose cone/cockpit is unfortunate (and I also wish they actually used it as opposed to the fake one), but it doesn't bother me that much since it fits within his back rockets. I also meant more of his robot body itself. There's no kibble there. Super clean.

That's why we seriously need a Titans Return Jetfire

but unfortunately....it's not happening!

I won't mention the official toys... but as for the others.
