The Energon Pub

I am new here so please forgive me if this has alredy been asked 1000 times. Are they ever going to produce the Mountain Dew vending machine robot. If I were Pepsi Co. I think that it would be a great marketing ploy. You know send in so many proofs of purchase kinnda thing. O'well I know that he was just in the movie for a few seconds but he looked really cool.

they might

I heard it was a solid no. It'd be nice though.

Someone did turn a Payload into it though

they did a kit bashed and they used parts from payload

I'd like to see an official version.

The kit-bash version was really well constructed.

Hasbro said no.

I'm not sure why they said no, but it was a definite no.

So, other than the kitbash that hit eBay, you're not gonna see a single Dispensor* figure.

*= Dew bot's name. (Official, fan made? Dunno.)

suck they said no.... wouldve been a great compliment with pepsi prime.... o well, people can always change their minds

Dispensor was a joke made by Hasbro staff at Botcon.

This really sucks too. My post a few weeks ago echoed this sentiment-Hasbro and MD blew a golden opportunity to have a great movie tie in. On well, maybe the'll get it right for TF2.

I'm against all the ads they put in the movie, or any movie. Ads are everywhere, of course no movie is going to be completely devoid of them, but the Transformers movie really pushed it.

That said Dewbot rules. And I really want him. Really.

Does anybody have any idea why Hasbro said no? I want Dispensor too! It seems odd to animate a character in a movie like that and NOT want to try and make some money off of it. They even made the cellphone in the Real Gear line!
