The Energon Pub

[Optimizzy]

Great haul Mizzy. Love that energon Megatron.
How was the con?

Pretty fun. It was my first one so I really don't know what to compare it to but I enjoyed all the panels.

Received my CW Deluxe First Aid today via Amazon. I still have yet to pick up Blades and Streetwise but I think First Aid might be my favorite Protectobot. Just love the extra effort put into this figure. I'm also a sucker for the red and white deco.

The last two-three weeks in a photo. My Kup runneth over.

[Cobotron]

Wow Rha! That's pretty awesome.

[Fox Thiagarajan]

Takara Legends Ultra Magnus. He has tight joints but not too tight. Crisp paint apps, and he holds his guns no sweat. Alpha Trion is fun too.

Look like I'll be building something...

I went to the flea-n-antiques Market today, and I found some incredible stuff.

First, G1 minibot Gears in pristine condition.
Second, some random Gobots without his weapons.
And third...

GOBOTS POWER WARRIOR|

The only things missing for that are his 3 guns. The main parts are all very tight, clean, and have all the stickers. Even the (damaged) box!


The whole lot for only 50$CAN!

That Gobots Power Warrior thing... I knew the power suits existed, but I never knew they were part of a MODDAFOKEING COMBINER!

The core unit transform into a tank/spaceship hybrid. Awesome stuff!



Not all Gobots can fit into the power suits. So I had to chose some from my collection and matching the ones that fit the best. No matter if they are a good or bad guy. I never knew which is which anyway. Now, the team is ready to deploy!



And here it is, in all his combined glory. The combining system is rock solid and it have tight joints. No knees, but it have hips. Also, the components tightly SLIDE into each others, like combiner wars toys!



The thing is very BIG and TALL. Here it is, compared to CW Menasor:



Now, my combiner shelf is TRULY full and complete!

[Jelze Bunnycat]

Congrats on getting Courageous and Tank (seriously, that's the blue Gobot's name)! Regarding which Gobots fit, there is a site with a Power Suit Fitting Chart. I should look intio that...

If you have the time and money, look for the other Power Warrior Grungy, done in black. If you have a lot of both, hunt down the Japanese Land Commander 5. The suits are the same, but the core is a tank instead of a jet.

[-Kanrabat-]

Thanks JelZe!

I don't think I will hunt the rest because it will be a pricey venture.

Also, if that combiner would be in scale, with deluxe "super" gobots, I think it would have been as big as CW Devastator!

[william-james88]

Thats amazing Kanrabat! And I am glad it went to a big Gobot fan like you. I probably would not have known what it was. Amazing price by the way, definitely an amazing haul.

Better than mine. I went to a toy con and there wasnt much Transformers stuff and it was a 5$ entry. But there was one good seller who had some fun small bots for me to buy. I got 2 micromasters (dont know their names) and a set of 4 Arms Microns. I didnt know what Micron Bulkhead turned into until I looked online and now its my favourite. These are all way better than that bumblebee micron.

Woah, Will... I'm glad the familly went along and we went to the flea market by car. I would have raged if I had to follow Plan B and went to that TF-less con by bus and train...

Also, check your PM for a bizzare UFO I found for sale:

Hey, thanks! That very SOLID Gobots combiner will be well taken cared for! I love it way much than my very iffy and fragile 130$ Encore Devastator. For 40$CAN with no shipping (not even bus fare!) It can't be more win than that.

Also, I see that you just ordered Arms Micron Ironhide for a very reasonable price! If you have Prime Kup, you could switch the weapons around and misstransform the other to make 2 different characters.

--------------
Cobotron, you lucky basterd. You can already have a taste of the girls! Also, is that the infamous FOC Grimlock mold, remolded into RID Grimmy? Come on, open that baby up quick and post as many pictures as you can! I'm sure yopu'll get a news credit for it.

Indeed!

Come on, open that baby up quick and post as many pictures as you can! I'm sure you'll get a news credit for it.

I'm working on it right now brother!

BTW K, that Gobot thing is totally awesome!

[william-james88]

I intend on doing exactly that. been wanting to do that since you showed me the pic. And those kup weapons are PERFECT for a Prime Ironhide.

Also, the reason he was a reasonable price is because the box is open and the micron is already put together. If that reduces him by half, then its fine by me

[william-james88]

Here is my little haul:

Acid Storm and Vermin as well as Gears and Eclipse. Anyone know who vermin and eclipse are and who they are homaging?

Anyways... the Gears and Eclipse duo is my preferred of the two. The alt modes are better and that Exclipse robot mode is beautiful. I am so impressed by the sculpt and the weapon looks really good and its a smart transformation. I probably preffer eclipse best of all the 4 toys.

[Fox Thiagarajan]

With love from Japan.

I envy that entire haul. Nice!

Cant wait for mine which would look a lot like this except swtch nightbird with blacakrachnia. Hey, Cobo, would you mind disclosing how much EMS (I am assuming thats what you chose) cost for this?

SAL was $16. EMS was $11 more, I splurged. still saved about $30 compared to BBTS before shipping. So almost $40.

MAN! I wanna open the rest of these guys so bad! I already tore into Grimlock. I have so much other crap to do. Damn life. Always messing up my fun.

Rumble and Frenzy are staring it me. giggling.
