The Energon Pub

The topic where we imagine what inappropriate sidelines certain Transformers have..


Reflector as a peeping tom.

Arcee the call girl.

Soundwave the NSA operative.

Bombshell? Well, with those cerebro-shells of his, I couldn't possibly speculate as to what he could be getting up to..

I love threads like this, so lets have a go...

Shockwave - Mobile DJ with a Saurday night residency at Maccadam's Old Oil House playing all the cheesy hits from the 60s, 70s and 80s with a case of typical 'Best Of' CDs. Being a child of the Eighties, he loves to drop the odd 'Madonna megamix' in there whilst he nips for bag of Energon chips and several shots of oil!

Kup - Has a part-time internship just outside of Iacon city at a back street Massage Parlour specialising in Indian head massage and full body Thai massage. The requests for 'happy ending' are often greeted with swift jab in the servos!

Thundercracker - Is actually an accomplished chef. His restaurant M'chine is rated 3 stars by the Michelin Guide.

Gears - In the years leading up to the Great War Gears was the toast of the Cybertronain Opera. His rendition of 11010001011110 even reduced the mighty robot Omega Supreme to tears.

Movieverse Bumblebee: part-time storage unit auctioneer.

Swindle: Volunteers at the Toys for Tots Foundation.

Galvatron: Anger management counselor.

Frenzy: Enjoys painting Rumble red.
Rumble: Enjoys painting Frenzy blue.

Abominus - florist

Instant Classic.

Optimus Prime enjoys singing Sonatra karaoke
Starscream does knitting and embroidery
Sunstreaker is wanted on several charges of public indecency (streaking)
And Shockwave has thus far failed to beat IBM's WATSON at chess

Ultra Magnus - In his free time he likes to do static plasma sculptures of chest plateless bots. His greatest piece to date is a tasteful depiction of Ravage frolicking in a field of mimetic poly-alloy lilacs.

Ultra Magnus - Hiding Prime's trailer from him whenever Prime's in bot mode (thus all of the Optimus figures without his trailer for his truck mode)
Optimus Prime - Hiding Ultra Magnus' trailer from him whenever Magnus is in truck mode (thus all of the white Magnus figures without his "armor"/trailer )

I reckon Soundwave would make an excellent children's entertainer. Instead of pulling a rabbit out of a hat; he could pull a Ravage out of his chest, Aliens style.

Swindle would make an excellent accountant for big money businesses like Wal-Mart and Tesco. In fact, he was probably the first to utilise off shore bank accounts. "It's perfectly legal..."

I think that Rhinox could be a nice Guru.

Prime Starscream should be a jester or a clown.

No one mentioned Beachcomber being a pothead?

Mirage loves causing accidents while invisible, he films himself in the act and posts the videos to youtube as Fail videos

Skylinx, and Skylinx- Having intellectual conversations with Animated Blitzwing, Blitzwing, and Blitzwing.

Devastator - you wouldn't guess it by looking at him, but this bot loves to surf.

Why was Hot Rod fishing in Transformers: The Movie? Well, his inappropriate hobby is catching fish and putting them in Kup's cab when Kup is in truck mode. Kup smells like dead fish and it drives him crazy getting the carcus out. Hot Rod thinks this is hilarious.

Shrapnel and Waspinator teach speech therapy in their spare time, time.

Snarl is an avid reader and enjoys discussing philosophy.

The insecticons teach dissecting in high school.
