The Energon Pub

I think this is another member of the DJD. MMC is getting quite a few projects wrapped up at the same time. On the one hand, this looks awesome. On the other hand, it pre-sold out at both BBTS and TF Source within hours. But, I'll put the links up here just in case you want to keep checking. (BBTS sold out within two hours as I had to go to TFSource to get him. Now, just five hours later, sold out at TFSource too. Wow, popular!) This is due out in Nov 2016.

BBTS $119.99
TFSource $119.99






Yeah, I'm in on the DJD....

Hell of a good looking piece. Too bad the character turned out to be punkass. Still gonna get this though.

This looks awesome. I don't read IDW but I love the concept the concept of the DJD.

I missed him on BBTS because I wasn't paying attention when I woke up, but I found him for $112 and free shipping from Planet Steel Express (never heard of it, but they seem trustworthy from reviews). I hope they get him in a little earlier, they have no release date listed and I really want this guy.

I think I bought something from PSE. I think they have a relationship with MMC. I want to say I picked up an MMC exclusive from them. Nothing bad to report.

Totally missed the pre-order!! ;_;

Guess I'll just cry about it to the MPP-10 I finally impulse-bought.

Ooh! Tf-direct still has pre-orders!

There's another chance to pre-order Tarn from here:

So whats up with the final 2 DJD characters? I thought that was a given, but it seems MMC would rather do a bunch of characters Hasbro and Funpub already did. Ive pretty much ceased collecting 3rd party figures since Hasbro stepped up their game with the CHUG line. The last 2 DJD guys and FP snarl is about all I have on mt 3rd party wishlist.

Seems to me they took a break to focus on renditions of characters that HasTak probably won't make -- sure, Megatron and Rodimus are popular, but I doubt we'd be getting their IDW designs from the official companies any time soon.

Tesarus and Helex are a tough one because they're very big and hence very expensive characters, but also very minor ones you'd have a hard time pushing a large price point for. They don't hold the singular character appeal of Tarn, or even Vos and Kaon who all got more characterisation and are more interesting in terms of design and alt-mode.

Buuuut... MMC did just release new runs of all three of their DJD members so far, so I think they could be a-coming. Or maybe Nickel. I'd like a Nickel.

I'd definitely be down for Nickel.
