The Energon Pub

Went to several stores today. Almost all of what I saw was AoE shelfwarming. Saw a few Gen things (meijer has those voyagers on clearance for under 20 bucks, btw) but not much. Absolutely no RiD15 (which is odd since I have found them before) and also absolutely no Combiner Wars, which is what I was actually looking for.

Did manage to snag an AoE Galvatron (only time I've EVER seen it in store, and they only had one) so I guess it wasn't a total loss, but it sure still felt like a letdown overall.

:HEADHURTS:

Thanks to Seibertronian Ravage XK I am now the proud owner of Age Of Extinction Voyager Drift!

This helicopter dude sports some very fetching colours and with a cunning head swap and perhaps a spot of paint will become my Rotorstorm!

While waiting for United Warriors Superion, I got Powerglide and Dagstrip. These are amazing figures. It's like Hasbro just decided to recreate G1 simplicity with modern articulation, which is exactly what I wanted. It's amazing and the plastic doesnt feel cheap at all!

Someone also gave me BH legion prowl as a gift.

Birthday haul just in: AOE Snarl, Takara Slog, Gen Arcee (closed hands, yay!), CW Legends Thundercracker and I finally found Powerglide. Also, RID Legions on the way, £4.99 each from TRU online. Oh yeah, had to get the Hot Wheels Star Wars set reduced to £10 in Asda. Now, let's get drunk and eat chicken fingers!

How does his cannon attach to his back like that? Is that only in the Takara version? (I have the hasbro one)

sorry, i explained that in a different thread.

its actually in place with an elastic, because for some reason that one gun doesnt like to peg into any port solidly. and i usually keep those thin clear elastics that everything gets packaged with. they come in handy

Here is a neat idea that I think Leakin' Lubricant, or maybe Cyberpath hipped me to.

It doesn't peg into anything, but it wedges pretty snugly in there.
Playing with toys is FFFFUUUUNNNNN!!!!!

Amazing haul, I think I remember the name of the white and red jet, but who's the other jet? The grey one? He looks awesome.

Whew!

Nice, another Dinobot variation. That Hot Rod is fun stuff too.
I like Jet Dude. He's cool. He turns into Robo Bro, I think.

oh right! legends jetfire.
the other one, the BW neo grey fella... *shug* :lol:

Beast Wars II Autojetter. He's an Auto Roller (hence the name), and a canceled mold from G2 along with Autolauncher.

ah HA! i wanted to say autojetter but shut my mouth in case i was wrong. i was surprised to see how big he was actually. i thought he was one of those basic flip change jets like from machine wars or the RID 2 packs.

Nope, those would be Thrust (yellow and black) and Dirge (blue and grey).

Autojetter transforms like any other Auto Roller: flip the switch, roll him along a smooth surface, and he stands right up.

Hasbrotoyshop order came in today. Got Generations Crosscut, Elite Rescue Heatwave, and CW Optimus Prime and Alpha Bravo. I don't like Combiner Wars the way I should.

What a nice surprise to find these two lil fellers wedged between the front door and the storm door today. They blew in on a arctic breeze from the north that I wasn't expecting. They came at an unbelievably nice price. Only thing nicer is the Canadian who sent them.
I was mildly disapointed in Ratbat. Mostly because I was unaware that the MP cassettes were the same size as the G1ers. But man, these are some great updates to their predecessors, and trump Rattsy 10 fold.
Thanks Northy. You're all right.
