The Energon Pub

Which and why?

If you have both, which do you think is better?

Scouts. They may be not-so-famous characters, but have a thousand times better articulation overall than legends.

Scouts. 10 times more fun, 100 times better figures, -1000 times the shittyness.

Scouts. Better overall figures. Legends are just too small and not very detailed.

Thanks for all of the input.
It's enough for me to take back the 2 Legends 2-packs and keep the 4 Scouts that I bought today.

Why aren't there more Decepticon Scouts?????????

Legends are great to keep on your desk at work but Scouts are a much better addition to your collection. I've been pleased with every one I've picked up.

Can someone name all of the Scouts for me?
I just went to Target.com but I know they didn't have them all listed.

Thanks!!

Thanks, Nekoman.
So at most I only want 5 more...
AirRaid
Hardtop
Strongarm
Clocker
(MAYBE Storm Surge)

Can't remember if I've seen AirRaid yet...

I should note some Legends figures are flipping awesome. I'd rather have another Cybertron Starscream Legend than many scouts, including Overhaul and its repaints.

I like 'em both. I'll take Legends and Scouts over FABs any day.

But some Legends have been disappointments. Many of the movie line were less than they could've been. Cybertron legends were pretty good. Legends Evac is particularly awesome.

Tomorrow I'm going to take a drive to try and find Jetstorm, then I'll hit Target to take back the Legends,
and if TRU didn't have Jetstorm, I'll order him online.

Remember, the movie scouts are exclusive to and only available at Target. You may however still be able to find scouts from Cybertron however, most likely repackaged and being sold at Kaybee toystore.

Yeah, when I take back those Legends, that's where I'm going.
Hopefully they've restocked and have the last 4-5 that I want.

If you want Cybertron scouts, hit up a Family Dollar -- they've got the repackaged (but not repainted) Universe versions for $5 a pop. Lugnutz, Backstop, Scattorshot, and quite a few more.

Be warned though, Backstop is probably the worst scout from Energon and Cybertron combined. I originally was going to pass on him, but I was able to snag him for $3 which even for a figure like him is a good deal.

I was really only interested in the Target exclusives...
But there is a Family dollar in a strip mall REALLY close to where I live.
I may check it out, but am kinda waiting around to see if I can find
Air Raid
Strongarm
Clocker
Hardtop

What's frustrating is I know I saw at least 3 of those long before I decided to start buying them...
GAH!!!
I can't get away from the Movie line!!!!
I swear if I can get those 4, Premium Jazz, and Deep Space SS, I'll be DONE forever!!!!!!!
(until the movie line for the 2nd movie comes out)

Scouts make good grunts for displaying with Alts.
