The Energon Pub

A month ago it started out like this..


And now we have it here...



This is kinda what 4 Rumbles look like after they've been prepped for Frenzying..Paint is all dried..I'm just giving it until Saturday before I put them back together and do touch ups. Then on Sunday I'll put final paint aps on, give it a day to set, and all should ship on Tuesday.

So RickCoronel, SyRein/ozrein, icanfly/Josh, and Manyoufactsure if you haven't already--make sure you've resubmitted your address asap so I can ship them to you next week. And if you have any last minute detail requests, now is most definitely the time:)

cant wait to see them reassembled

Are you going to give them hands,piledrivers,or both?

I'd love to see him finished

Generally speaking, they come out some what looking like this..










So, I'm pretty sure they'll eventually look like these as well.

As for hands..I think Manyoufactsure has a set of hands he wants, all the others will just be normal. (PS I just like turning his shoulders around backwards, they pop off for transforming, but just look cooler this way, and makes him different from Rumble.)

Wow. It should be comming out very nice then. I would so bash it to make it have optional arms, though.

I don't have the arms for it..Nor do I have much experience in the whole kitbashing bit.

Very nice shade of blue there!

i'm confused; i thought rumble was the blue cassette and frenzy was the red cassette in the G1 cartoons. am i wrong? i dont like how hasbro is so liberal w/ changing the color schemes of my beloved G1 chars. or am i way off the mark here?

Yeah it's pretty cool how well the blue matches the Gen-1 Frenzy, like the new alt Rumble matches his Gen-1 counterpart.

Uh...how are the arms flipped around on the repaint...and still transform? Or am I looking at two different repainted figures?

yeah..i'm wondering that too..how is that?

Well, for transforming, you'd still have to pop the arms back off at the shoulders and put them on the right way..but it's a simple switch to make them a bit different.

Oooh. Balljointed. I should pay more attention. O_o

Thanks for the tip!

Will he have fingers though?

I only do the repainting..If they have arms they want on them, it'd be on them. Or they'd have to supply me with the parts.

You've chosen great colors for him.

This looks great, but I think I'm even more enamored with the custom Thundercracker. Excellent work all around!

Thanks--Those are fun to make too:)

All back together again, cars are all touched up..Tomorrow I'll clean up the bot modes, add final detail..Then shipping. I'll post pics when done.

All finished!

holy crap! Those are all great repaints. I like them all, great work

thanks a lot:)
