The Energon Pub

I was really looking forward to this release but QC issues have really stayed my enjoyment. The figure looks great, don't get me wrong, the metallic purple pops, but once you start handling it the floppy arms get in the way of posing while making the transformation more fiddly than necessary. Nightstick is another release of a Siege Battlemaster, this was a great opportunity to re-release the Universe Nightstick mold but that just makes sense. Ultimately, I can't really recommend this release if you already have the Kingdom version, even if you don't Kingdom Cyclonus is still easy to find.

I've found that by the time Takara releases them, most QC issues seem to be fixed. Hope mine is! Maybe you could wait to see a review of that version and replace it with the TT version when it comes out?

I was doing that during TR and Legends but now with the line symmetry, I don't even look at Takara products. I'm giving it another year or two before Takara tells Hasbro to shove it.
