The Energon Pub

The name dispensor appeared in the 3rd wave of movie robot heroes figures.
Dispensor=dispenser. So the guess is, he'll be a soda machine. THE soda machine.
Can't wait for Boxer. (that's how i just called the xbox/bot)

This will be definitely different than anything else.
A robot that transforms into a box-shaped soda machine.

I think he would fit the Real Gear Line, even tho it isn't really connected with the movie...

Wish they'd make a deluxe figure of that guy. I would buy it just for laughs.

What do you think? Do you think he'd make a better infiltrator than soundwave? He'd be great for taking out human targets, get inside a building, pose as a vending machine and dispense poison soda. Perfect stealth assassin.

I imagine the Robot Heroes Dispensor will not carry the Mo Dew name, prob. just "Soda". And who knows, if it proves popular, maybe Hasbro will see fit to whip up a Dlx version. Or not.

i hope they make a deluxe version.

I couldn't care less about the Mountain Dew logo. Wouldn't mind him having it or some non-copyrighted sustitute. I just want a tf-ing version of the character.

I'm all for this character in some form. I wouldn't mind if they used a made up generic soda brand instead of Mountain Dew just to make it happen.

Besides, they shouldn't have to get a license from Mountain Dew, Mountain Dew should pay them for the privilege. It's basically an advertisement.

I want the Mountain Dew TF so bad.
I'd sell my Spark for it.

They should make him fire plastic quarters as well as MD cans :grin:

I can see it now, in TF2, he gets punched and a bazillion quarters come flying out of him

There's a sex joke somewhere in there, but I just can't find it.

You wouldn't be laughing once you see the price. :shock:

huh? Aren't deluxes all the same price point? I mean unless it's some sort of special exclusive, which as a new mold, it probably wouldn't be.

You know what would be really cool?

Deluxe Twinpack: Autobot Coca-Cola Dispensor VS Decepticon Pepsi Dispensor

Battle for the AllSoda!

Yeah that's the great thing ...it would lend itself to some rather easy repaints - just use another brand of soft drink as the motif.

you're right. and we don't want anymore repaints' do we? ^^
anyway, the soda machine is a must!
i'd still vote for it to be in the real gear series (and hope it doesn't look like Energon Prime...)

...I don't really want repaints, but from Hasbro's perspective, it would make it that bit more worthwhile. They seem to have repaint plans for just about everything that goes into production lately.

I've seen this great kitbashed version of Dropkick that looked exactly like the Dew Bot. It be wise for Hasbro to make a fig of him because everybody would buy him

I would think that Pepsi/Mountain Dew would jump at the chance for a Dispensor figure. Buy X number of Mountain Dew bottles, get a free Dispensor figure.

Deluxe Class Dispensor is inevitable. Sooner or later, Hasbro will cave. This Robot Heroes version is just the first sign.
