The Energon Pub

I'd like to just chime in here and say that I copied down UPC from the Brainstorm toy and typed it into the Walmart computer, and Walmart's system did not recognize it. This means that Walmart isn't planning to sell the Brainstorm toy, or else they would have added it to the computer files. The conclusion I reached was that it was shipped by mistake, and that it's extremely unlikely anyone else will find Brainstorm at Walmart.

Yup, it was definitely a mistake, but it's nice to know that there are people on here like you that take the initiative to confirm things like this

Blaster has ports in the back of boom box mode, for a couple different kind of cables.
Looking at my Ravage, I don't have any cables that would fit that.

You also, likely wouldn't jam the cord straight into the screen

Maybe it's a port for you to cram your questions in.

Nah, it'd have to be much bigger than that, I initially thought that it was a slot for a bigger figure to tab into to ride ravage in his beast mode, but the weird side panels get in the way

Starscream in the future?

Custom by Cheetimus Prime

That's a matter of perspective! those may have came out....but that Starscream never emerged HERE! in the UK! we only got Skywarp & Thundercracker + isn't there meant to be a Titans Return Starscream coming at some point

All he's saying is that the Starscream in the poster is based on the CW leader.

Anyone else read that as "Harness the power, dino-ryders!"

I actually loved that show a lot when I was younger. Would be great if it made a come back at least with more modernized dinosaur designs. Though I'd probably be super conflicted about collecting it to a point.

Also yeah, I do think that is meant to be CW Leader Starscream represented in the poster as everyone else has pointed out. Doesn't look to be too different from the toy already released.

The l v d are leader voyager and deluxe

I have been wondering is it easier to make slight changes to a CGI CAD-CAM model that already exists to make a new mould based on an old one.

As It crossed my mind that Crossovers Darth Vader - Death Star
: http://www.tfu.info/2007/SWTF/DarthVader/darthvader.htm

Could be marginally remade into a passable Titans Returns or 2018 line Unicron.

Sure he'd be smaller than Fort Max but he wouldn't need a huge amount of changes from the base design - he'd need the maw moving to the equator perhaps a slight change to the "wings" and some new surface textures and new chest & head. but the basic design is pretty similar to Beast Wars Neo Unicron already. also the hatches in his body may be the right size for Titan Masters... or at least adaptable to be.

Since it's essentially a "reskin" it must surely be cheaper than starting from scratch would be. even if they would have to make a new mould for it.

It just seemed worth considering that a Primus Size Unicron might be nice to have and he'd save a lot of development time that would be required for a whole new design.

Also if there ever way a Huge Unicron toy it would be nightmare to Transform it - so perhaps the best idea is one on those giant figures that they made for Star Wars only of Unicron as an alternative to making a Titan scale toy that does Transform.

I've been wondering that since Hasbro have not shown an interest in making an IDW-accurate Chromedome beyond the head - not a decision I'm mad with or anything; it makes sense and this is a toyline-orientated line - maybe third parties would be more encouraged to make an IDW Chromedome now? Then again, they weren't too motivated to make an IDW Whirl after Thrilling 30... but still.

What you just posted elsewhere shows me that the toy is far more accurate than jus the head. The chest is spitting image of his early look:

Yeah, but that's just a flashback. It's not what he usually looks like.

It's like... it's like using Thrilling 30 Orion Pax for your Optimus. It's definitely a spot-on representation of what he looked like at one point in his life, but it doesn't represent the Optimus you know and love and is what he looks like 99% of the time.

I just thought of something: The Strength and Speed packs are named after stats on the cards, right? Well, what if they were to make Intelligence and Firepower packs? They could account for the missing clones, Shockwave (could be a retool of Galvatron) and Starscream (could be a retool of Megatron).

What missing clones? Two are coming in each set.

I keep hearing people say that only one clone each is in the Strength and Speed packs.

No. Decepticon clones are rumored to be in strength and the autobot clones are in speed.

My point still stands, though.

About the potential other two sets? Oh yeah definitely. I said elsewhere that I think at least two more box sets could be likely seeing as how many we got in combiner wars.

The Amazon listings for TR Blaster and PMOP states that the figures are discontinued by manufacturer. I've never seen this before. Does anyone have any idea why?
