The Energon Pub

Just remember crew: most people assume happy wife = happy life; well, I subscribe to the slightly irritated wife = amusing life.

My daughters mostly understand that my toys =/= their toys. mostly.

The irony that Nexus Prime was revealed the day I got lasiks, and I could not tell if my eyes were deceiving me or not was bugging me out.

I think they should just do a funpub styled Nexus Prime next year, with Heatwave torso, with the option to swap Heatwave for Nexus himself.

Liege may actually be the coolest looking Prime to come out this year, he looks rad. I love that his alt mode appears to take after the DotM ships.

I agree that Prima was a bit too vague in influence, but he is a dang nice toy.

I am still so excited for Prime Smokescreen, I love that guy, and I am looking forward to another toy of him, especially since I wasn't a huge fan of his first original deluxe mold.

I have to agree on some of the single episode accessories, I find many of those particularly annoying, in the way, or easy to lose. It is also agonizing when important accessories are missing from other figures, like Ratchet's EMP cannon, or the Armada era figures minicons, or cybertron cyberkeys.

As much as I like the idea of alternate heads, like that one Buzzworthy set, I also get really annoyed with alternate heads, they actually need to go somewhere else.

The good thing so far about this year's target capsule (and, as I am in the future, the next wave of SS) is that I am good with skipping it all, I am happy with what I have. The only thing that would currently tempt me is if they did a corpse Wheeljack/Windcharger set, which has to happen, right? (and I guess, in the future, Kranix is tempting too).

MP Riggorus is really cool, I feel that should be mentioned, he is good. I love him.

Blokees is cool all around, I am loving it! Wheels are a great addition. And like Scotty, Defenders are my junk food, I love those little twerps.

Tank Unicron remains my Unicron, love that little crab tank dude.

I cannot say I have an "evergreen character" that I am annoyed that keeps showing up; I am more annoyed some some that are not showing up enough, like Ironhide and Barricade.

DO NOT badmouth my boy Skullcruncher!

If I am honest, I feel TF:One is the standout Elita, and the others over the past 10-15 years have been unlikeable or, like scotty said as I was typing this, inconsistent.

RiD2015 Drift did have the Decepticon portion part of his backstory, as a thief, and he even confronted his old master and beat him.

Truly ironic that I feeling on the SS86 Dinobots is kinda the opposite, I really disliked Slug, but have grown to love him, even if Snarl is still mostly just as indifferent as it was when I first got him. The G2 decos helped, that is what turned me on Slug.

WFC Prime is still my favorite G1 style Prime, I love that toy.

13 YEARS OF SHOWS

I try to keep up with the boards to get new people checked in, it can be difficult though, we are currently at like a 5 bots to 1 actual person ratio of approvals.

I am with Ari, I legit thought about the federal ICE at first instead of real proper ice.

I actually ended up selling 2/3 of the Super7s I got, G2 Megatron is the only one I still have.
