The Energon Pub

Here's a sneak peak at what I've been working on during the past week. I'm currently working on finishing up the vehicle mode pictures and comparison pictures and then I'll transform all of these figures and do their robot mode pics and robot mode comparison pictures.

Make sure you click on the last image so that you can view the full thing my friends. The galleries should start rolling out before the end of the month once again.

Your galleries have been a tremendously valuable tool for me to grow my collection these past few months. Looking forward to more, and thanks for your hard work!

Sweet, I cant wait to see these galleries.

A great service to collector's to be sure, your galleries have inspired me to buy bots I would never have touched without seeing them in detail.

Thanks

Awesome, awesome and did I mention this is awesome? I’ve missed the galleries very much and now they’re back and better than ever!

Just one question, do you think you might have time to do galleries of the 25th anniversary GIjoes?

You have made me very happy. Thank you! I love your galleries!!

Hell yeah I missed the new pics. I use to log on seemingly everyday, and see a banner for a new gallery. What I realy love is that for all the bots that I have, you always would somehow manage to find that one that I don't!

That in turn was always a treat cause, first off it was always something new, second you rarely give transformation spoilers(I hate play by play galleries), third it's a constant reminder that no matter how many I have, there's still so many more to go!

Thanks for all your hard work!

Outstanding!.

Looking forward to the new Galleries.

Keep it up. I'm glad you have the time to do these again, I know just how busy you've been with the new forum setup, and Transtopia and all that.

You have no idea how much I appreciate all the hard work you pout into this site.

Thank you.

Yes! We knew you couldn't go on forever without posting these!
Thank you, and I'm looking foward to it. But it would be nice if we had some more Animated galleries, but then again, Ryan's not going to pay hundreds for a few figures. maybe some of us should send you ours to photograph.

Can't wait to see these new ones! You do good work there!

Excellent, excellent, excellent. The galleries are one of the best things about this site IMHO, and an invaluable tool for collectors. Glad to hear about these updates! Thanks very much for all your work!

Finally i cant wait for the new gallery to come its going to be great i was getting worried that you were going to stop.

Hurry up and get the Movie figures out of the way so you can get the Turbomaster Galleries up!

Nice to know that while the galleries have taken a break, your wallet received none!

Heh heh ... no, my wallet never got a break with the new stuff. I've been buying everything as it has come out so that when I was ready to do galleries, I could do all of them in bulk like I'm doing.

After this set of galleries, I'm planning on plowing through all of the Target exclusive Movie scouts (with comparison shots of the original versions) as well as all of the new Robot Heroes (Jazz/Thundercracker wave through Movie ones) and the rest of the Real Gear figures. That should keep me busy for the next month or so.

I might delve into some G1 galleries if I get bored with the Movie line. I am dying to get my Turbomasters and Predators opened at very long last (not to mention my Targetmasters Scourge and Cyclonus)!!!

Can't wait to see the new galleries even if I'm getting a bit sick of the movie figures. But you always make even the most boring figure interesting.

Yeah... they're back! I was kinda getting pissed off.. like the last one was that Lockdown or Crackdown or whatever the hell that thing is from the Animated Series.

I'm just glad we're gonna get something new!

wow, new galleries. can't wait to see them, especially stockade & incinerator picts. taking those picts must have cost a lot of time & energy. Great works seibs

Actually, seibertron's galleries is the main reason i joined this TF site, and not the other ones.

60 galleries officially in the works now my friends. Finally busted open the Sam's Club exclusive Battle Damage set so that I can do comparison pics of Prime and Arcee. Noticed that Starscream has some minor paint application differences ... at least in his face he does. Has anyone else noticed this? My original movie Starscream is from one of the early runs ... I think I got him about 4 months before he was out in stores.

I bet that was a bugger to open, I got a cut when I was opening mine.

Holy cow, cannot wait! LOTSA LOTSA PICS TO SEE.

Oh, yes. The galleries have been deeply missed. I hope you make some more non-movie galleries though. There are some big holes. Case in point, you have Fort Max in your sig, but you don't have a gallery of him, or Brave or the Car Robots repaint.

GIT-R-DONE!

Here's another preview pic of my progress with all of the movie galleries. I think I'm up to 60 galleries in progress. I'm just about done with vehicle mode comparison pics. I hope to start working on the robot mode pics next week which will enable me to start finishing up some of these galleries and getting them posted at last.

Before everything's all said and done with, I'll probably pull out the Premium Ratchet and Megatron figures from Best Buy and the Robo-Vision Premium Optimus Prime figure from Target while I've got everyone in vehicle modes. Once everyone's transformed, I'll tackle the Revoltech-styled movie figures and the rest of the Robot Heroes that aren't on the website. Once all of that is finished in the next few weeks, I'll start working on the rest of the Real Gear figures that aren't on the site yet as well as all of the Target exclusive Movie Scout class figures.

Whew! Lots of work ahead of me but I think I'm making some incredible progress considering how many figures I'm tackling all at once.

Here're a few more teaser pics of what I've been working on. I thought you guys might get a kick out of seeing this many movie figures together in one place.

No Fort/Brave/Grand Maximuses until I figure out a way to take good pictures of a 2 foot tall Transformer toy. My lighting setup is ideal for figures about 14 inches or smaller ... and is just about perfect for the deluxe figures.
