The Energon Pub

by **Sonray** » Sat Jan 12, 2008 6:48 pm

That was a really fun episode. Im hooked on animated now, its not great by no means but id much rather watch it than cybertron or energon, and probably armada. Its great fun, but i still hate the toys.

That's not cool man, want me to have a word?

I'd like to have a word with a nob like that.

Not sure which word though, there are several on my mind right now...

I say if you have the skills and the time, go for it! I'd also expect to see full documentation in the KB forums!

Depending how much that is, and how much it costs on MP Takara screamer, I may just get it.

Oh, and this weeks animated is another ep of win!

Just watched the latest two eps and I've got to agree. Quite enjoying the show so far, and I'm an old git!

Yeah, it has got some faults and v childish moments, but considering the target audience age it's def worth watching.
Only caught a few odd episodes of any series since G1 and it def seems the best I've seen. The AEC programs were shite in my opinion and I think I prefer Animated's Dinobot origin over G1!
Overall then quite impressed. :APPLAUSE:

Here's a link to a thread which is updated each week with the latest episode's torrent. Usually up about an hour after it's shown. :grin:

Ahh, finally no work to do. For the next week I'll be able to watch TFs and spend most of my time here without having to worry about doing some work.

Booo, I have exams tomorrow and Thursday, then another next Wednesday

Nothing new. I actually really like Bugbite. He looks so good in white plastic. But other than that, nothing qualifies as news from me

I think I'll go have a browse...

Just wait 'til you get to uni MB. I've discovered that I have no exams in the summer so (excluding my final year project) I finish before the end of April

I cannot wait till uni. Did I say that I've got two interviews coming up for uni in the next few months? This is so far though, as I've yet to receive proper responses from three of my choices.

I can't stress enough how damn cool animated is. The fact that a scheming Megatron has dominated the last two episodes, and this is the start of the series, I can't wait till things start gathering speed.

Transformer Animated for four seasons! With Unicron! And allsorts of cool stuff!

I do recall you mentioning the interviews. I know you mentioned Sheffield, but where else did you apply?

I agree that animated is incredibly cool, but not sure about the Unicron part.

Birmingham is the other atm. Not sure when I'll hear from the other three, but we'll see.

I actually think animated is so good that, as long as it doesn't devolve into another crappy kid cartoon, it could really do the original G1 some justice. Not like AEC or RiD or any of those other silly series.

well ivewatched the special and some clips of grimlock and the dinobots, im liking what im seeing so far.

You'll hear soon enough. My bro has heard from almost all of his but my friend's sister hasn't heard from any yet.

i've actually bought quite a few TFs from BBTS, including G1 Punch/CounterPunch, and they are bloody reliable, normally takes 9-12 days for stuff to ship from them, but i always got what i ordered!

by **Robo-Chugster** » Wed Jan 16, 2008 6:19 am

well i just received KO movie OPs sword in the post today, and its great, and imo looks better than the one on the premium version...

I highly recommend getting one for £10, if you dont want to shell out for another Leader OPs

thats all on the TF front atm, until the Jap Classics an Animated are realeased im gonna stick with my near naked statues...got my eye on a couple more for when payday comes around

News Credits: 6 · by **City Commander** » Wed Jan 16, 2008 1:26 pm

Omg wow those TakTomy Classics are hot stuff. I wish I'd got that Prime instead now. AS per usual, my bro plans to get the Starscream and Megatron (maybe Astrotrain if he's anime coloured), and I'm gonna get the Grimlock.

And damn do I want that Encore OS now. I'll have to save up some moolah! On that note, how much is shipping to the UK from BBTS usually? I'd love to know as that could open many doors indeed!

Yeah, I'm not surprised about the uni thing. It's rathet random when they get back to people. All I can think of is a master in-pile, just like in the centre of beurocracy in Futurama

I'm just trying to find out if I can get a lift off my parents to that party on Saturday. They're fine taking me, but apparently 2 am is too late (early) to be picked up. Time to get my silver tongue out then! :wink:

Oh no, maths exam tomorrow afternoon. I meant to revise for it all day, but during the morn some mates said they were off to play CoD 4, so I joined them...

I feel slightly confident. As long as exponential logarithms don't feature heavily, and they're not too keen on trig function manipulation, I should be fine.

I'm screwed :sad:

by **ThunderThruster** » Wed Jan 16, 2008 7:02 pm

shipping from BBTS is normally about $30, so for the sake of ease call it £15!

BBTS shipping is easy to work out,
Start with what you'd roughly expect it to be, double it and then add $10.

Cheers,
Doug

You're just lucky my knee-capping stick is in the shop for a polish!

It didn't go too badly. MPC3 is a hard paper- especially this January- but I have hopes that I did well. As long as I didn't use the completely wrong numbers, I should be fine.

Huh, shipping from BBTS doesn't sound too terrible. What was the $30 shipping on pray tell? If that's for a deluxe item, then it's extortion.

HBW- You're just a negative nelly

(Hopefully anyways

Sorry if this has been mentioned but Pounland has Ko undersized and weird coloured Constructicons, three for a pound and they're pretty good. No Devastator parts except his gun though, Longhaul and Mixmaster are in original colours.

Edit- there's a d missing from this, so here it is
