The Energon Pub

I always thought the Marvel comics version worked best. It was two people mentally linked which allowed them to be better warriors. The smaller figure drove the vehicle and connected as a head in robot mode but the essence of both entities resided in the Nebellon as long as he wore the armor.

I'm still having trouble with this because it suggest that, say, Blurr's head really has no connection to Blurr.

I was looking at the signature at the bottom of the Fortress Maximus page (near Rewind's arm at the bottom right) and it looks to me like at least that illustration was done by Emiliano Santalucia based on comparison with another of his autographs I've seen online.

All of the illustrations are by Santalucia. I found out after I posted the news, will go back and edit.

Cheers for the JPGs, Seibertron; you did what TFW2005 didn't! i asked someone to post pics as I was having a bit of a kefuffle opening the PDF on my phone. Btw, has anyone separated all of the various artwork from the PDF file? They're are loads of separate images that are layered over each other if you check...

Edit: I found the images, but can't upload them here, as this site has a 256kb limit? Is this 1997 now? Come on, Seibertron, join the 21st century! If my 5 year old smartphone can handle it, then so should your site be able to!

Rumble doesn't have any new tooling other than the head, so...

A prime example of feedback whiplash. I was about to smile, now my cheeks have cramped.

We always recommend using an external image hosting/sharing platform, and have done so for at least 7 years - good examples are Photobucket, Imgur, Flickr. Hope this helps!


As for my previous post on here: Emiliano Santalucia has produced the battle scenes, whereas Marcelo Matere and Ken Christiansen have worked on the other images. The Usual Suspects strike again.

Thanks, but I still think the site needs updating, and this is a prime example. Even mobile services line Disqus allow for posting images of normal size, and the rival TF sites usually do, too (although the equivalent thread at TFW2005 won't allow any pics to be uploaded, for some odd reason, which doesn't usually happen). If "rival" TF sites are doing it, and mobile services and hardware can do it, then it seems odd that a website in this day and age can't or won't. Seibertron needs to adapt to survive!

I'm not bothering to upload pics to another site, copy and paste the URLs here, all from my phone. Too much hassle. Others probably feel the same way. Yet I often post pics at Disqus and other TF sites, because it's easier than here.

Help us fans to help your site, please. Increase the upload size to normal levels please, and maybe you'll get more interest/stay relevant? Seibertron is a great site so it would be awful for it to fade away...

Cheers.

It's actually just not transforming the arms to the final step. Makes for a nice pile driver looking thing, even though it doesn't do anything. Rewind can do that too, it's as I said, part of his transformation.

I looked at that too, and thought what you did, so that's how they intend the pile drivers to show up. It's probably also in Botcon or SDCC images somewhere too (of the toy on display).

Toyhax just put up new Repro Labels for Titans Return. There are some pretty nice looking upgrades.
I'm sure they will hit up the news team, but here's a sneak peek.

These fixed every problem I had with Blurr; no way I'm wanting the Takara one now
Shame they didn't do something about Skullsmasher's visor...

Awesome, thanks for figuring that out. I almost want to track down a physical copy now just for future autograph purposes. Although with no Botcon I wonder how it will ever be possible again to find those artists all in one place.

why would they make the eyes red but not make it a visor.
That scourge head looks awesome

After the unintentional reveal in our galleries from San Diego Comic Con 2016 - on the back of the Titans Return Voyager Megatron packaging - we have confirmation from CybertronCon, currently taking place in Shanghai, that Sixshot is indeed a reality. Check out the image below, mirrored from Weibo user SpikeArt, showing him just lying down after a hard day's work!

Three of Sixshot's alt modes revealed! Sleeping on his back! Sleeping on his belly! And sleeping on his side!

Truly a master ninja, indeed!

There's another unfamiliar looking figure in that photo, who's this?

Always wanted to say that.

That's the back of the Autobot Heroes Platinum box, showing Kup in that set.

I've never understood the appeal of Sixshot. None of his modes looked much good.

So it is!
I did think it looked like Kup, but there have been rumours flying around of a new Kup mold in the Titans Return line.

Dear Lord, would it kill someone to take just a bit more pics!!!!!!

The Headmasters cartoon turned him into a high-ranking Decepticon ninja who had a rivalry with (and eventually murdered) Ultra Magnus, as well as a longrunning feud with Chromedome (who had a personally vendetta towards Sixshot, who murdered one of Chromedome's friends long ago), and who eventually turned on the Decepticons after his forging a loose friendship with Daniel near the end of the series (he and Daniel were once marooned alone together on an alien planet and Sixshot's personal ethics compelled him to protect Daniel).
