The Energon Pub

Ok, if ever there was a time to play this silly (but surprisingly fun, seriously.) game, Botcon is that time.

I propose, that those attending the convention, organize a mini-tournement among ourselves OR an all or nothing 5 or 6 man melee battle.

Starter sets and pieces can be had for this game pretty cheap. It shouldn't be a financial burden on anyone.

Who would be up for something like this? I'd be happy to organize it, but first we need players.

Thoughts? Challenges? Lame excuses for being afraid to battle me?

Good to hear.

The standard rules suggest 100 pt games, but doubling that to 200 is generally a lot more fun.

Being the good TF fans we are, I think it should be TF only games. No Star Wars or Marvel figures. We're exclusionary like that.

I got one for the lame excuses side.

I don't want to lose my dignity to someone who plays Attaktrix. :lol:

Shanking aside, it might be a fun game if we can make it a drinking game.

I thought my dignity sold for a princely $279 just to get into Botcon...

Yeah, same here, would love to, but I firmly stuck in the UK for the forseeable future.

I think I'm pissing off everyone on the Attacktix boards by not agreeing with them...

I've been tempted to pick some up. I like the G1 and OT Star Wars figures, and a lot of my friends are big comic book fans, and we're dorky enough to play something like that.

Star Wars + Transformers + Marvel = Ultimate Nerd Battle. All we need now is Star Trek, DC and D&D Attaktix and we're set. =)

I'd rather play Magic.

I bought a starter set on clearance for $4.00, so I may be interested in a Seibertron Attactix Tournament. I guess it just means I'll have to go pick up some more figures now....

Whooohoo!

The Skyblast variations in that pack are some of my favorite figures right now. Skyblast's spear kills like, everything

Yeah, I want to get the Omega Supreme/Crumplezone set, as well as the Vader/Walker/Megatron vs. Skywalker/Omega Sentinel/Prime set, but I'm waiting for their prices to go down.

You Gehys are making me actually want to try this game out... fine... I'll go out and buy a starter set. But I warn you, I'll be violently drunk at botcon!

3... drink... minimum... Those three words aren't often used together in Canada. No need for it really.
