The Energon Pub

Hi all
Say who here is interested in the movie toys, especially Optimus and Megs, whenever they show him?

I am, they are different so I wount feel like I'm buying the same figs again. I just wish the gave leader Megs a better paint job

Oh Megs and Prime are at the very top of my list. As soon as I see them sitting on shelves, they shall be purchased. (Leader Class, that is.)

I'm interested in the movie toys, but not those two necessarily. I want a Ratchet (although I want one slightly smaller than a Voyager).

I am very interested in the Movie Toys, infact I prefer them over the movie designs. What I like about the Movie toys is that they arnt as complex as the movie designs, I like the style of Transformer where they have car chunks on their body and you can see what they tranform into. On the screen it just looks way to complex and to much of the Alternate form breaks apart or becomes hidden.

I will be getting every Movie toy, and the only one so far that I do not like is Scorponok. His Alternate form looks good but his robot form....yea very weird.

Can't wait!

I'll end up picking up a couple, Jazz is a must, and most likely Leader Class Prime, but I will wait a while on him. I have to assume that he will be everywhere, so I will wait until I can get him on sale.

Maybe even clearance, like Cybertron prime

I really want all of the movie toys...Prime is at the top of my list, but I think thats more of a deep seeded childhood issue as I never owned G1 Prime. I really like the real gear toys in the line too...not sure why just think they look great in both forms.

As far as Megs...I will get him when I see him but I am also not crazy about the paint on him, but I will hold my final judgement for when I see him in hand.

How many I purchase from the movie line depends on how much I can sneak by the wife . I will definately get a few here and there. But completing the whole hinges on what I sneak by the wife.
Besides I will definately grab 2 Prime and 2 Megatrons for my twin boys. I already have a nice lil collection waiting for them.

For me, this will depend on how much I like the movie. Since G1, I've only been pulled in by the BTs, MPs, Classics, a handful of Energons and the Sportslabel lines.

The mnovie would probably have to blow my mind to get me into this line as the characters look decidedly different.

So far I just want prime.

I want at least one figure of each character, but I'm waiting to see which size classes will be available, since I want the scale to be as real as possible.

I'll probably be forced to buy at least one of the awful Megatron toys, but oh well...

EDIT: and I'll be picking up the movie Legends and Robot heroes, but that'll probably be it.

Is Movie Jazz the first Jazz since the G1 era?

No, there was a G2 Jazz and the BT Jazz. I duont know about the Energon, Cybertron or Armada lines.

I've already got 2 of each preview/protoforms and a Voyager Optimus Prime Test Shot. Don't think I'll be able to sneak a Leader OP due to size unlike the others so far. Really like tha Wal*Mart Bumlbebee/Barricade 2 pack; maybe a Boncrusher might get snuck in too.

And he's in your sig to boot .

As for the movie figures, the more I see of them, the more I'm starting to really, really like 'em. They're certainly different from what we've seen in the past, and vareity is the spice of life.

Unsure of who I'll get though. Bumblebee if nothing else(deluxe, though the Ultimate would be nice, but not for no $90). Blackout looks cool, and there's just something about that leader Prime.

I hear that. I feel your pain, although my son's are 21 months apart. I do like the red real gear, looks like Classics Lazerbeak to me.

Ironhide, Ratchet, and Longview are must-buys. I'm definitely going to get them the moment they are released.
