The Energon Pub

Okay I have a friend that is studying in Japan and returning in August and will get a few exclusive TFs. I know I want MP Megatron and likely Starscream, and perhaps the Kiss Hot Rod. Question is what else would you get?

List your top 5 and why.

Edit: Current as some suggestions may get added to the list.

Current or of all time?

Either way, Deszaras, cuz he's the bomb, Overlord for the same reason, Victory Saber, cuz the RM version doesn't do the bot justice, Black Zarak, cuz I could retire if I sold one on ebay, and Minerva cuz I loves them chick bots

1. Music Label Soundwave - If we had gotten Soundwave in Classics, it'd be something like this. Buying one direct from Japan beats $100 USD online prices.

2. KP cassettes - only one's a Decepticon I think, but at least a shiny new tape would go nicely with the Soundwave reissue. Bonus points if you have Blaster or, even more fitting, Twincast with Flipsides.

3. Beast Wars reissue(s) - pick your fave or faves. Not all of them will be out by August, but there's many winners among this group. But only if you like Beasts obv.

I can't actually think of others. Don't care about the other KP figures or the Masterpiece stuff. Maybe the Eggbot repaints, or the BT Nemesis Prime if I could find it.

My list would be:

Mp-05
Kiss Play Rodimus
MP-03
Best Wars Reissues

mp-05 megatron
mp-03 starscream
kiss players hor rodimus
beast wars reissues
cant think of a fifth one yet

1- The original megatron from Takara without the scope and it has the sword

2- Diaclone swoop - the blue is not much, it means the world to soem people and it is nice to have cartoon accurate figures.

3- MP05 unaltered... I am trying to make this happen on my own! Let's pray!

4- Abominus Giftset - I think this is a Japan exclusive... I could be wrong

5- Black Zarak. Hell yeah!

In reality, I am looking for the clear ghost starscream PVC chase figure and the classic pretender hero giftset. I all ready have Goodbye Megatron so I'm set as far as grails go!

straight outta Japan, I'd like to get me hands on a Masterpiece Megs, Revoltech Convoy (though that may happen soon anyway), The BW figs (DINOBOT FTW), umm... actually that's about good for me... unless we go old school... cause then I'd be all up in some Masterforce figs...

Actually if I were to get the first four I really wouldn't care if I ended up with the fifth being Wheelie.

Current:

MP Megatron
MP Starscream
Music Label Soundwave
Nike Prime
Nike Megatron

All time:

Deathsaurus
Overlord
Black Zarak
Metalhawk
Leokaiser

Optimus Vs Megatron set
Grimlock/Soundwave/Frenzy boxed set
Sunstreaker/Skids/Buzzsaw boxed set
Goodbye Optimus set (with Red Alert and Mirage)
Goodbye Megatron set (with Starscream)

Okay well the MP Megatron, MP Starscream, and Kiss Hot Rod are confirmed on my want list. Don't know if the music label Soundwave will be out by August when he comes back so that might have to be ordered in.

Now are the "Anime purple" Galvatron and Megatron reissues currently released there? Likely he'll only have access to things currently on the shelves. Anything else would have to find a collector and would be a chance.

Beast Wars Black Big Convoy
Superlink Laserwave
God Magnus and Fire Convoy 2 pack with God Master Sword
Fortress Maximus
and Trypticon.

Grand Fortress Maximus
Operation Combination Battle Gaia Set
Diaclone Swoop
Victory Saber
Individual headmaster Elephant-- Shuffler

I feel thankful that I have so many and am going to be adding a few more vintage items to my collection courtesy of Atreyu, in a few months... 1) Black Zarek MIB complete 2) Metalhawk MIB complete 3) Rabbricrater (exclusive Micromaster with video) 4) Graphy --dinocassette pterasaur 5)...Dai Altas...Countdown with MM Rescue Team...Go Shooter...and more

Of course there are current things I would love having too like:

WST Ultra Magnus trailer (exclusive to japanese con)
MP Megs with no cap
TF Sports series (I love me some NIKE)
TF Music series (Love me some music too)


That is all...

Soundwave Takara Reissue
MP Megatron
KO Cassette Tapes
KO Reflector

Edit for grammar error-

Good picks with the "Goodbye" sets. I still see them occassionally in the vintage hobbyshops.
