The Energon Pub

A listing for a previously unseen Transformers Movie figure has appeared on eBay. The auction is for a Wal-Mart exclusive "Allspark Power" figure named Big Daddy. The figure is an homage to the Micromaster Big Daddy and is a repaint of the Cybertron Downshift figure.

Great! I've been wanting Downshift, and those colors look amazing!

EDIT: Oops, double post.

I like it... I've already picked up Cybertron Downshift, and wouldn't mind another one, especially with this color scheme! I can't wait to find it...

Hard to tell from the pictures, but looks pretty cool so far. Nice homage to an obscure character. Too bad it's a WalMart exclusive. They should have saved it for Universe.

Now there's a name I thought Hasbro'd never re-trademark. Excellent choice of mold and repaint colors. Loving those flames on the sides, too! To bad it's a Wal-Mart exclusive, 'cuz that means eBaying it up over the border and that'll cost more than I'd it to.

Bloody store exclusives...

I have Cybertron Downshift, but this color scheme is awesome! I love the name too!

A must have for me. Looks good, like the orange, can’t wait to see robot mode. These are the sort of store exclusives they should make.

I don't know... I think one downshift is enough for me.. maybe if this came with a feathered hat and technicolor dreamcoat.. then I might reconsider buying Big Daddy..

Looks cool. I have been meaning to get downshift but could never find him anywhere, hopefully once this line is out over here i can finally pick one up...abelt with a different paint job and a silly name.

I'm a huge fan of the Downshift figure as it is, so this is a must-have for me!

I'll chime in here (I post so many news stories, I forget to actually post what I think of this stuff!)

Anyway, I love it - I'm a huge fan of obscure-character homages, and this mold fits both the character and the look and style of the movie-bots. This will be one memorable repaitn, I'm sure! Great stuff!

color scheem is great but dont like the name.

p.s o and i hate wallmart

Getting a li'l desperate for repaints when they're tapping into the Deluxe from past lines now, aren't they?

Not that I should complain, as I love the cybertron Downshift mold and its a very nice homage to an obscure but also nice figure. I'll definately pick up this figure when I can, even if I already have Cyb. Downshift.

The point of this figure is the name. If naybody ever says Habsro doesn't listen, this is the figure that should show them they do. We asked Hasbro for their last muscle car figure to be named Big Daddy, and people were pissed when they didn't. Instead they do this for us. This proves that they do listen.

Nice.. I'm really liking that red. And Downshift is a great figure anyways.

Man this looks badass, I'm glad they're reusing Cyberstron deluexe molds for the movie line. I always knew there was something realistic about the cyberstron molds. The new paintjob looks awseome!

Big Daddy???

That is a stupid name

I repainted my Downshift into a charactor I call Blackjack

It looks like this sorry I don't have a digital camera

sounds like a pimpformer

TFormers.com has the other three in the 4-set of Cybertron repaints from Walmart. They include a Thundercracker repainted yellow as Divebomb, Landmine repainted green as "Grindcore" and Crosswise repainted as G2 Laser Rod Jolt.

Now anyone else wondering about Grindcore as an alternative to Timelines Rhinox?

I might just get him and some reprolabels Maximal symbols.

Grindcore is a homage to G2 Roadblock and Divebomb is a slight homage to G2 Hooligan (if he were orange and had tiger stripes he would be accurate but as he is, he is pretty close).

I think G2 Roadblock was yellowish, wasn't it? The repaint, Beast Wars Predacon Autocrusher was green.

QFT Getterdragun! I for one think the Big Daddy & Grindor repaints look awsome and I plan on getting them! Great job Hasbro.

Im getting more and more excited by this line than i thought i ever would.
