The Energon Pub

The Autobot and Decepticon twins look great and I can not wait pick them up unfortunately while I managed to get Siege of Cybertron I missed Chaos on Velocitron, but beside that Cloudraker and Wingspan look great

They look fantastic. Just wish they had new guns!

So while it's been well-known for a while that Wolfwire's the one getting re-issued, does anyone know why he is? Obviously someone has to fill the fourth slot, but he seems to be a bit of a random choice.

Overlord,Windblade,Twin Twist,Misfire,Blitzwing, and Octane look great and it's nice to weridwolf get rereleased as he is an awesome figure.

I don't really care why, I'm just happy he's coming back because he's one of the two wave 2 deluxes I missed. They didn't stick around at all, they just came and went in a matter of days.

IIRC the original run of Wolfwire suffers from a back flap that WILL break regardless of how careful you are. Perhaps this revision fixes it?

Can testify. Took it off he shelf for the first time in months and it cracked the day after. Look at it wrong and expect breakage at the yellow hinges.

Okay... I was expecting to get Cloudraker from another box set and sell him with my Fastclash, but, now, I'll probably just put him up once the two-packs start to arrive. Should work just fine.

Still got my fingers crossed for the Horrorcons.

Aside from the hopeful (if unlikely) possibility that he's a fixed revision of the mold to combat the cockpit-breakage, I seem to remember something about that he was the only one of the original Headmasters who hadn't seen a second release yet (whether packed in with another wave, or just through a revision wave). Can anyone confirm that off the top of their head? I don't really want to go archive trawling a few months back to make sure.

Is false. Mindwipe never got a second release in a revision case. Everyone else through wave 2 has though as of wave 5.

Actually, it is true. Mindwipe did get a really weird revision case of all Mindwipes right around Christmas when the distribution everywhere for TR was all messed up (somewhere between waves 2 and 3). It wasn't very widespread, but there were a number of photos of stores with 8+ Mindwipes and nothing else.

Post of the week! They need their weapons, those were some of the best G1 blasters.

Absolutely, Hasbro always jumps to attention to correct any errors they have in a figure design... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Only on pain of DEATH has Hasbro ever fixed a design flaw in a figure. Just ask 25th anniversary Duke!

So, how foolish is it to hope for a Fastlane and Pounce set for those of us who didn't get the big boxes, to go with Cloudraker and Wingspan?

Smaller that a Titan master foot peg.
Actually, expect the next boxes to have regular legends or lazy redecos of the clones with new heads.

At this point, can we even be sure there will be more boxed sets? I mean I know Hasbro said there would be 4. But they also said:
The clones were their own class. (They are not, they are Legends)
The clones are not TM compatible. (Fastlane is, not sure on Pounce yet)
One of the clones would be in each boxed set and not for individual release. (This one is still up for debate and could still possibly be both right and sort of wrong)

Some of these are making me rethink my masterpiece only policy. Good work hasbro.

The proper statement is that the Clones are still their own class, officially. Even though they are Legends Class-sized, they have slightly more plastic than would normally be allowed for main retail Legends Class, hence them being bundled. I don't recall Hasbro stating that the Clones aren't TM compatible, but I do recall them not mentioning how the Clones would be released. Just one of the fans' educated guesses gone viral and taken for fact.

Does Anyone see Fastclash's pegs on the legs? can he combine with Cloudraker or not?

I found this Disturbing....
And the Helmet is way too large for overlord, i can see Takara can Retool the Helmet for the perfect Shape for it

I'm assuming you're talking about the ones on the inside of the legs? Those are for the alt mode.

And the Clones don't combine, at least not officially. The Clones' gimmick is that they have (roughly) the same robot form, but different alt modes, nothing more.

Overlord is very boring to me. Sky Shadow owns him in every regard.

And while Wingspan looks so much than Pounce, Cloudraker looks kinda shite

Nice Godmaster Engines, Overlord.

Not to burst your bubble, but sixshot came out a wave before him..........

First off, none of these are my designs. I got them from thingverse and used those designs to 3D print these.

Now to some fun Titans Return stuff. Definitely check these out.

first up, the Titan Hammer. It is a hammer that allows for titan master integration in head mode. Sticks out both ends, and holds well. You can use the different titan master powers to give the hammer unique abilities, like freezing an impact zone (Topspin/Freezeout) or shutting down the body part you hit (Sky shadow/Ominus)




Up next, the Titan Saber. Basic principles still apply, but now it is a sword, not a hammer




And finally, we have a blaster (one of 2 I printed) for Brawn and Roadburn, a slingshot for Wheelie, and a printed Mastersword for Fort Max! The Fort Max even includes an accidentally printed 2nd hilt for anything else I can come up with!




If you can get your hands on a 3D printer, there are lots of cool things in thingverse you can play with!

O, I could see TakaraTomy doing this:

- make Overlord a "Getmaster" like Ginrai, using the Headmasters in his pectorals
- include Sky Shadow's Onimus as Mega, with a retooled face plate to evoke IDW Overlord's kissable lips.

I did spot Sky Shadow at a Target today, looks good. I passed on him.
