The Energon Pub

[Fox Thiagarajan]

Found a lone Chromedome on an otherwise empty display. Got one more Target to hit today, hopefully I get lucky and find the other three. Don't think I can handle Walmarr hunting today.

Oh and my TRU had fort max, wave 1 deluxes and that snazzy RID stasis pod pack.


Update: just found mindwipe and wolfy at walgreens! No Brainstorm though...

Also, here's a picture of the three best friends since words are boring!


And yes, I did the thing I've been chirping about from time to time with Dome's shoulders. Gotta shave a little more off the construct bot wheel peg but I think it looks alright, don't you?

Nice haul. Those are the 3 deluxes I want from that wave.

[Mr Skram]

Oof, bummer. Just got around to transforming these guys and Mindwipe's titanmaster is missing his legs...

Wow, how does that happen?

Factory error or something I'd guess. Some of those titanmaster legs are pretty loose so it was bound to happen to someone. Going to try to contact Hasbro if the site will stop being buggy for me. It all else fails I suppose I'll get a second Apeface and use his legs. It's not a perfect match but it's probably as close as I'll get.

UW Computicon.

Which was nice to come home to after an absolute **** of a work day.

It has been known to happen...

[Mr Skram]

Yeah, I figured. I'm not too upset about it, though I'd love a complete figure. Still having a blast with the dude!


My Wheelie is coming in Friday from Amazon, but I'm too stoked on Weirdwolfwire and Mindwipe to care all that much

[Sjeng]

Wooh, I'm pretty stoked! Just ordered UW Menasor, Convoy Grand Prime, Bruticus ánd Computron from a Dutch reseller for a reasonable price! Awesome!
Now I only need to find a Skyreign/Lynxmaster and a Superion from either Takara or Hasbro and I'll have all the sets I wanted! (Well, maybe Devastator someday...)

Now I can retire from actively searching for a bit

Daaaaamn that's a good haul! How much did it cost ya? Either way four combiners right out of the box is gonna look pretty awesome.

Paid €500,- for all 4. Had to use some of my manly charm though
Tat's €125,- each, which is kinda my limit per set, so I'm glad.
(Well, Prime was €120,-, menasor was €140,-, Bruticus and Computron were €145,-, so in all I saved €50,- which is nice)

A great haul always erases the anguish of a terrible work day.

Not quite, but it's a good start.

Awwww yeahhh. Nice little lot I grabbed!



LOVE Bulkhead Sadly no headmaster.

Dark Megs isn't talking though... Where can I find the batteries?
Looks like these were bought in or from Canada. It has some stickers with English and French texts, and warnings about the batteries. The missile from Megs gun is also locked in place, maybe glued there? It won't shoot out. Did Canada do that out of choking hazards or something?

Now I have a second Ultra Magnus and Jazz, I'll sell those off to earn some of my spendings back

Last week I got the grey Animated Megatron, Starscream, Sunsomething and Prowl.

[william-james88]

Amazing haul!

[Kurona]

Very nice! Been a long time since I've seen Animated but I'd still love to get a collection at some point. Easily one of the better cartoons

Esily one of the best toy lines ever. The aesthetic can be divisive for sure, but the engineering is the best around and it is impressive how they were able to mimic a very 2 dimensional aesthetic into toy form.

I've never had any of them in hand but I'll take your word for it; they do look really good. The only problem for me is that while I do love the aesthetic, it's so different from other TF toylines' aesthetics that you can't really put them next to each other - a shame when I like to put toys from a ton of different toylines in a ragtag band. Would've loved to have put Blackout and Oil Slick in some random B-team 'con group

You say that, but for years many fans were using the animated Arcee as their classics Arcee.

Because there wasn't really any other option... I kinda take Vangelus' take on it.

I always thought Energon was a decent classics arcee, maybe a bit small, but she worked well with GDO Sprigner.

Fair, fair. Of course we now have one that's an actual classics Arcee so lol.

But yeah, basically, I just don't find the Animated aesthetic to mix well with other toylines is all. It looks great on it's own but the inability to mix is imo it's only downside.

I guess the rememdy to that is buy them all and give them their own section But to be fair, a lot of toylines are like that. G1 toys dont mix well with others, Prime toys are a bit off and movie toys are really off. I think every line has its own aesthetic.

Also, here ismy haul from yesterday. Small but mighty.

Ooooh but I'm jealous. Been finding myself lusting after a blue bluestreak recently for some reason.

Does it come with those swords? Is Bluestreak a swordsman now? Either way it looks good
