The Energon Pub

After weeks of nothing, I was very fortunate to find a stash of new deluxe waves at a WalMart 30 minutes from my house. I bought Dropkick, Recon Barricade (my movie Prowl), Longarm, and Payload. Be patient, guys. They're coming. When they arrive, it's defintely worth the wait.

Where are you located? We still only have Classics here in the West Coast.

I have Payload, and let me ask, does his shoulder/head plate stay in place on yours? Mine keeps poping off.

LongArm is one of my new Favorites, and I recomend you open him.

I didn't like Barricade the first time around, so his repaint is a pass.

As for DropKick, LUCKY!

yes, we have a toy sightings forum, and a toy haul thread for this kind of information.
please use that for this, but glad you got your precious toys

Sounds good to me, I take it you went Early?

Looks like walmart's delivering some goods

thats cool, hope they get to the west coast one day,

Give it up jon, the boards are just enthousiastic, ill informed chaos right now.

All this "west coast only" talk is new to me. I am on the west coast and have seen everything but Dropkick and Recon Barricade so far, all within the last week. And I am sure I will see those two any day now.

It also doesn't help when he throws around his opinion like it's golden fact. Along with that chip on his shoulder. He'll be a hunchback by 50, unless someone knocks it off for him.

One would think these guys would be shelf warmers. Maybe one day ...

They need to put out a wave where the box is full of just dropkicks. 1 per box? What a sick joke.

So far, all we know in terms of case assortments is the current case (Dropkick, etc) and nothing beyond it.

We really don't know if he'll be a oneper for the entire figure's run.

I just got Payload last night, and his shoulder/head plate keeps popping off for me, too. Otherwise, he's great.

Ha ha well someone had to say it. Sh!t I'm new and even I noticed it from previous posts.

You're going to need Super Glue for Payload.

1.) Head/shoulder plate.

2.) Abdomen plate (rests inbetween claws on gimmick. Yes, it does pop off.)

3.) Front end grill/bumper.

All three of them must be Super Glued, or they'll repeatedly fall off.

One warning: Use a very, very small amount of glue on the head/shoulder plate. I used a bit more than a pinhead's worth and it wouldn't sit flush. It looks fine from the front, but in the back, you can see a slight gap.

Congrats, I'd love to find those myself at some point soon.

Dropkick is certainly very interesting to all. Long Arm cool too, but Payload, another drone...? We'll see on him, but he's not a must have for me at all.

The chest and grill, I'd prefer not to glue as removing said grill does help in the transformation.

But that head I real need to do something about!


It's sad, I was realy hoping this figure would be great, but with the giant spring arm jutting from his back, and the lack of quality control, he realy is a let down.

LongArm on the otherhand I just can't get enough of. I posted my own thread about these guys, "bots that let you down" or something like that. Please check it out.

You found Payload already but you still haven't found '09 BB?

i'm anal.. i like clarity. i like people who can think for themselves and look up information by using the scroll down on their mouse. i don't like having to look 4-5 pages back for an intersting thread that's a day or two old. especially since the search function on the website works so well.
autobot32: speaking of someone throwing opinions around like fact, that's the pot calling the kettle black.
you're one of the preachiest mouths on this board. let alone jumping on the bandwagon any chance you get.
i never degraded you, so don't degrade me.
nice christian thing to do. don't advertise it if you're not going to live it and say it. check yo sig son.
that's like saying, forgive me for what i do before i do it, cuz i'm not perfect, and i'll ask for forgiveness after it happens and that will make everything better.. up yours pal.
hyper-chicken: i understand everyone's enthusiastic. however, don't you want to help noobs use the board so in fact, it's not spammed up all the time? show them the way, so they can in turn learn?

And that attitude is one of the many reasons I can't even stand to read your posts. You're not only arrogant, you're offensive and you don't give a **** about anyone else's opinion. (or anyone else, period, for that matter.)

Yeah, I'm opinionated, I admit it, and I don't care whether or not you think of me as a Christian, or what what you think of Christians in general. You can say whatever you want about me, I really don't care, judge me all you want, because I don't care what *you* think of me or my personal beliefs.

Shouldn't this discussion be taken to the Fantasy Battles forum or something?

Nah. We both had our say. It's over and done with.
