The Energon Pub

It seems like forever ago that we reported that TFClub was working on a new batch of Constructicons on par with the Classics style of transformers that we all know and love. A shame we haven't seen anything new in a while...

Well, are you in for a treat! New images have cropped up of the next big thing in the world of 3rd party transforming robots. TFClub have posted new pictures of a robot that looks an awful lot like the Constructicon Scavenger! These new pictures confirm that Devastators "right hand man" indeed does have a robot mode as well as what looks to be a detachable hand for Devastators arm mode.







If incredibly detailed, highly articulated Transformers aren't your thing, then maybe Super Deformed or "SD" styled Transformers are your thing? Well take a look at yet another piece in the works from TFClub, an SD Optimus Prime figure called "Primars"







Feel free to hum and haw, ooh and aah, geek and nerd over this all you like in our forums!

That Scavenger is looking good. Can't wait to see some more constructicons. The SD Optimus prime looks awesome as well. That is some good stuff there.

I continue to be impressed with the looks of this figure. We've just seen Scavenger, but my mind has already wandered down the road of "how cool will this thing look" and trying to imagine what the final figure set will look like.

And then I pause to mop up the puddle of drool.

Weird how we went from a half paint version of Scavenger back to a gray prototype. It is nice to see a picture of the whole robot doesn't look to bad just a little too bulky but he'll still be bough if the price is right.

Cute Optimus is cute. I want one.

If the whole Devastator set comes out I surely doubt I will be able to afford it!

I have a feeling this is going to be a long term project, with the figures being released one by one. Maybe that will soften the blow to your pocket book. This should be an interesting set.

Scavenger definitely has me interested. I've never bought any 3rd party stuff before, but depending on this sets quality and price, I may have to empty my savings account just to have a Devestator that looks this good. Assuming of course everything from the arm over looks good. I just hope it's a gradual release, and not all seven at once. My finances would be in shambles.

If this turns out anywhere near how good it looks so far, I will buy it. I know it will be expensive but this has the potential to top Masterpiece Prime.

Which means taking the risk that the project will never get finished or the final product will be disappointing. Collecting is starting to get stressfull!

At just seeing this pics, it has given me the sudden urge of buying these toys, so that this poor schmuck at least will be able to buy a decent and proper ashtray for himself

This is also the reason we will never see a Masterpiece Devastator. TakaraTomy would have to commit to 6 releases of different large scale toys. From a business view that is quite risky.

i'm liking scavenger, i think TFclub might be giving them this "anime mecha" motive which in my opinion kinda works
i would have liked SD prime more if he was painted more accuratelly, i mean its a mixture of G1 and movie prime and i always thought they would give him a movie color scheme because of his alt mode
(even though his robot mode looks G1)

Amen brother!

This guy looks great. I really dig that the bicep & forearm are fully integrated into the figure. So all we'll have to do is keep up with a hand if we display in bot/vehicle mode. That's awesome. I also hope that these will be a gradual release. I haven't bought crazydevy's devastator upgrades because my G2 Devastator is now in shambles & I refuse to buy a KO G1 devy. So if they do this & do it right, i'm going to have to buy, buy, buy since devs is my favorite combiner(for some reason i'm one of the few people that wanted to get into construction when they grew up, I think it's because Jesus was a carpenter). I buy EVERY constuction themed TF and these will definitely NOT be the first I miss out on. I've made up my mind. I NEED THIS DEVASTATOR.

Personally I'm going to wait until I see some proto-pics of Devastator in his combined mode. I don't wanna get him if he's not somewhat G1 accurate.



Here is one of the previous pics
I wonder what Hot Rod toy that is?

anyone know when and how to get this?

IIRC, we saw pics of that Hot Rod ages ago. It's their upcoming Hot Rod as Targetmaster(to go along with their Optimus and Soundwave Headmasters).

Correct you are sir. If I recall they are also doing a Megatron & Starscream targemaster as well as the Rodimus.

Thanks I musta been on vacation so I couldn't check my seibertron news.

I was never into the SD segment, but I find that constructicon intriguing.

We KNOW FansProject is working on a third Crossfire set, which can only be aimed squarely on the energon Devastator set.

But TFClub has really impressed me with Battle Rollar and both Gear of War sets. Not to mention I'd really like to see where they could go working a combiner from scratch.

Me likes..

Well, no, their third Crossfire set might not be Energon Constructicon related. We've heard no word about it.

As for this guy... I want!

Agreed. I'm very interested in seeing where this goes. My only negative is the extra plastic under his left hand. It appears to be the canopy in his alt. mode and maybe a connection point?

How has this organization done with its previous releases?

This thing is going to be hoooooge.. I mean look at the right arm and imagine the rest.. ZoIkS!

Very very intrested indeed
