The Energon Pub

Found these on HK-TF, and thought you guys might want to have a look. I appreciate the third-party stuff that fills gaps like the CC armor and even the upcoming Devy's from MakeToys and TFC Toys, but this is getting a little out of hand. We already have perfectly good updates to Kup and Scourge.

steeljaw looks fantastic, now all we need is a classics blaster

You mean something like this?

Steeljaw does look cool and far better than that retardo-bot they used for DOTM. But that Blaster is freakin' sweet! What's the lastest on him?

I dunno about Kup and Scourge. Kup robot mode makes me think of G1 Rodimus Prime. And what's up with those gaps on Scourge in alt mode? I just don't know... .

Must be BTS. Aren't they making a casette Ravage?

Steeljaw looks great to me. Kup anbd Scourge ... we have a great Kup and Scourge now. Coem on, 3rd party guys ... fill gaps! That's what you're good for!

no i said a decent CLASSICS Blaster - not an aswomly **** hot cool amazing looking MASTERPIECE blaster

That pretty much is the latest on him, these are the only images that have surfaced. Almost certainly being done by the same people who are doing the MP style Soundwave, Fans Toys.

No, these guys call themselves Eagle's TF or something like that.

Oh, my mistake

Steeljaw is a certain buy if it shows up on BBTS or other similar site. The other two are easy passes.

Yeah, Steeljaw- awesome. He'll go great with that MP Blaster. The other 2, not so much. And yeah third- party guys, fill the gap, not make the ones we already have. I'm happy with the Kup and Scourge I got right now.

Thanks goodness! Hopefully they do a proper Jazz, Wheeljack, and seeker molds next...

I agree. Steeljaw is quite impressive. The other tow, not so much. The Kup could be a good fill in for someone reenacting Spotlight: Kup perhaps

Steeljaw's a yes, as for Kup and Scourge they're going to have to nail alt and bot mode if they are going for a G1 look. Worth keeping an eye on none the less.

These look more like resin cast garage kits than actual 3rd party toys.

Huh...are you joking??

*Sigh*

Dear third-party companies.

We appreciate you filling gaps in our collection that otherwise will probably not be addressed. Ultra Magnus' armor, a trailer for Prime, weapon kits, a Devastator combiner. That sort of stuff.

But... we already have a Scourge and Kup. Both are rather... excellent, too. We don't really need new figures of them. Thanks, though.

Steeljaw looks nice, the other two are completely unnecessary..

Hence the eye roll at the end... 'nuff said!

Steeljaw is really cool. I like that Kup doesn't have door arms, but other than that, the Hasbro versions of him and Scourge are plenty adequate.

Yup - think some of these new ones are kinda missing the point -

iGear issued a G1-style head for Kup, conehead MP seekers, an (arguable) Classics Arcee, and have just stuck up preorders for notIronhide / notRatchet. The MP / Classics style Soundwave and Blaster will fill similar gaps if and when they show up, but issuing characters that HasTak have recently finally got to? It'll be Wheeljack and Tracks next
