The Energon Pub

We have a brand new episode of the Seibertron.com Twincast/Podcast for you this week! You can download episode #25 by clicking here or you can get it from iTunes.

To open, we interview special guest SEANxLONG, YouTube personality and creative mind behind Big Kids! Big News!, a celebration of all things toy.



Sean then joins your host Counterpunch and regular guests Seibertron, jON3.0, and Razorclaw0000 to discuss toys, toys, toys, and Dark of the Moon.

First, the crew discusses the brand-new forum changes, including our new Toy Review forum and Video forum!

Following that, we do what we do best: talk toys and discuss the immense Seibertron.com Galleries!

Razorclaw defends Voyager Sentinel Prime!



We then debate the merits of Voyager Fireburst Optimus Prime and his fragile axe.



Finally, we, in general, love Leader Ironhide and his knife.



Once done, everyone spends a few minutes teasing Razorclaw for not having the Target DOTM exclusives. (UPDATE: I found them the next day!)

We wrap up the toy talk with some thoughts on the somewhat weak offerings from SDCC as jON3.0 prepares for some expensive cosmetic surgery...







We wrap it all up with some follow up to our movie discussion from the last episode.



But that's not all!

We're featuring yet another Seibertron.com "Listen To Win" Contest. Somewhere in this episode is a keyword. When you hear it, go to the contest page for your chance to win a copy of the Shout!Factory Headmasters boxset!



Contest is only open to registered Seibertron.com members who have not won a Seibertron.com contest within the last 90 days.

What, another one of these so called "podcasts"?

I'll allow it.

Chromedome!

Everyone needs to have Donkeypunch.

<-Armada completist. Including all the DVD minicons:) ...and the less fantastic Lucky Draw Bug (Dead End).

Fantastic podcast as always:) still listening to this one, discussing GI Joe crossovers

If you ever come across any of the later DvD microns, let me know. I'm still missing four of them.

Yeah, but you kind of cheated and got it all at once.

(Which is what I was going to do, but you beat me to it by a few months/few thousand dollars...)

I'm sure I didn't win the contest, but it would be awesome..

Anyway, I love the podcast guys and I'm not minding the longer episodes.

Face. Cheating is just a tool created by the game:)



Still listening to the podcast:) you two are discussing what Mike wants, ML Galvatron and ML Scourge w/ Sweep! I have those #thanksamillionRik!

Micron-wise, I need DVD Combusta, Falcia, Twirl, Freeboot, Bilge, Sunburn, Quench, Impulsor, Ito Yokado Crush, Hell Flame Graviton, White Hell Flame Team, and Dragoyell (I hates that guy).

I wouldn't mind an ML Starscream S (Thundercracker), ML Ironhide S, ML Hot Rod S and I'd be pretty done.

CP is missing Quench, Impulsor, Sunburn, and Twirl, as well as the Caliber Team, White Hell Flame Team, and Superlink Windcharger. EDIT: And Dragoyell (he hates that guy).

And, let's face it, we're all missing the pink Corona Spark Plug that was on Aaron Archer's wedding cake. :-/

I could live without the White Hell Flame or Superlink Windcharger teams.

Dragoyell doesn't exist and I would very much like to have the others. The Linkage story is one of my favorite pieces of TF fiction.

You will change your mind when you see my Windcharger.

Damn! I forgot about MB0 :-/ CP is still ahead of me then. 21 loose Microns to go for me isn't too bad.

I hadn't noticed.

That's OK guys ... I bet I have a version of Movie Optimus Prime that actually transforms that most of you don't have (and I'm not talking about Ultimate Optimus Prime which a lot of you will have soon)

Yay! Another podcast. 25 episodes already? Wow.

Also, welcome Sean Long. Great reviews, BTW.

You were Megatron in that script reading?! Dude, my dad was one digit away from getting the winning ticket, and I was two digits away. You must have entered the room right in front us. Either way, that's awesome that you got to be Megs.

...

W-w-w-w-WHAT? Voltron Force is great! It's better than any and all of the previous Voltron cartoons.

Airachnid is AWESOME! I'm SO glad she wasn't named "Blackarachnia".

My Armada Optimus Prime trailer never autotransformed for me either.

What exactly is the origin of "Donkey Punch"?

Another great one, guys, but, man, these 2 & a half hour recording are killing me.

At Botcon 2010, Counterpunch decided that Douplepunch should be renamed Donkeypunch. We all laughed, and it stuck.

There's no Micron Movie Optimus Prime...

And yes, I have the Micron(s) actually named Prime.

Advantage Counterpunch.

Another enjoyable podcast.

In regards to IDW, I never looked it at the way you guys mentioned about the 6 issue story arcs being placed like that solely to sell TPB's. But now you have mentioned it I feel totally cheated!

But you cant argue the fact that the past few issues have been awesome. So it goes a little way to replacing the past 19 months we have all wasted. Not a long way.

But a little.

Another great episode, Hatchet FTW

Razorclaw0000, Thanks for the shoutout! Hatchet is AWESOME! Thank you for the suggestion about the Cliffjumper upgrade kit. I really want that kit when I first saw it but the price kept me away.

SEANxLONG nice to meet you. I too am a hug person. I think I freaked a few people out at Botcon.

Counterpunch, you had to completely give up alcohol while training? When I first started my journey to my transformation the only alcohol I had was Pinot Noir red wine. It does have an acquired taste but the health benefits are well worth it!

Seibertron, Call of Hero? I love hearing about the technical upgrades to the website. Hearing you say such great things about the Kre-O Transformers is dangerous to my wallet. I thought they were neat at Botcon but decided they are not for me. Viewing your galleries and hearing you talk about how fun they are has really tempted me on getting a set. If you had to choose just one set which would you suggest?

Thanks again for the toy suggestions and warnings. I will keep away from Sonicron and since I just got paid I will go hunting for Leader Ironhide today afterwork.

Many Seibertronians tuned into our latest podcast, "Longshot" and we are pleased to announce this episodes "Listen To Win" Contest Winner!

Yea dude, I only have one speed with this kind of stuff: Brutal.

Calories cut a minimum of 25%, running 4-5 days a week, very little extras. Summer is weight loss time, Winter will be muscle building and strength training. Assuming I don't die or something in the mean time.
