The Energon Pub

A few weeks back I picked this guy up from Super Wal-Mart. He came with a shirt (which I donated because it was obviously way too small for me Lol) and the full name was "GWP Sport Shape Shifting Robots Super Changers"(mouthful) On the back of the package it had three variants: Tan & Gray, Black & White, and Green & Black. The night I took it home I did some research and discovered it actually wasn't a KO of Combat Hero Megaton like I thought, but one of Reverse Megatron from the Robot Master's Line. (which was a retool of Combat Hero Megatron anyway)

Cool find. I've only seen that one in green and red. pics.

Pretty interesting KO. Happy to see you did some investigating yourself, I'm impressed.

How's the overall build quality? Loose joints and such?

Since this is my first (serious) post I know I probably left a few things out. He's a nice and solid figure and the plastic is pretty good. Even though the arms aren't terribly loose, when I tried to make him hold his turret up, the arm slowly went down. Both arms are like that, but I leave his turret on his shoulder anyway so it doesn't bother me. His thigh joints are just a tad loose, but only noticeable when you pick him up. I had no problem getting him to stand up and as for certain poses, the turret makes him a little top heavy. (btw, is there any way to reply to individual people on here? I'm still learning some things lol)

Sure is. You can use the quote button on the top right of every post. That will copy the exact quote, formatting codes and all, to the reply window for you to edit. The editing comes in really handy to trim down large blocks of text, if you only want to address one certain line.
You can even do multiple quote in one reply, the Quote button also appears in the Topic Review part on the bottom of the page.

Thanks! You've really been a big help, but like I said I'm still learning some things. Now whenever I start getting more comments on my posts I don't have to worry about people being confused about who I'm replying to.

I've been to this site before and I love it! Especially all the gun Transformers. There's another website with all kinds of rare/obscure transforming Mecha on it. It's a Japanese website and I've seen several items that were knocked-off here in the states. However, I'm not sure if the items on the site are official or KO's. Unfortunately I don't have the link anymore

Always thought that someone could make a decent Impactor from this mould, particularly with the colour scheme of this ko!

I don't see why not. Has Hasbro/Takara even made a figure based on Impactor? Even if it was just a repaint of an older mold?

So far, the only official Impactor toy we've gotten from Hasbro (no plans from Takara, as far as I know) is the Generations: Fall of Cybertron retool and redeco of Fall of Cybertron Onslaught.

I like the guns but the figure is meh. I don't really like what Hasbro's been putting out the past couple of years other than some masterpieces and the Generations Seekers. Looking forward to picking up that Rhinox, but I'll pass on Waspinator.
