The Energon Pub

These are some pretty nice repaints.

I almost bought a set, But I learned about Voyager Bludgeon right before I was about to leave for the store.

I dunno.
I want Bludgeon, so I can call him Stryker, but I'm not sure about Whirl.

As for Bludgeon ...





'Nuff said.

Very nice! I think I'll skip Deluxe Bludgeon and go for the upcoming Voyager mold instead.

this set pegwarms the shelves in every tru near me. personally, i dont like these either.

.... and i think the best blackout repaints were evac and the lawson exclusive

I think Bludgeon's purple blades are way better than Wreckage's red blades, and yea, this set is a shelfwarmer at TRU.

Looks too cool to be ROFT, THEY ALMOST LOOK LIKE CLASSICS!

To all of you skipping this version of Bludgeon in favor of the voyager mold, you're crazy. The voyager Bludgeon is a completely different figure, and this is a repaint of 2007 Movie Wreckage, as stated in the article.

The only reason not to own this awesome figure is that you already own Wreckage. Wreckage was easily one of the best 2007 Movie figures, and I would highly recommend that you pick this up if you don't mind the horrible Blackout retool. If you missed out on Wreckage, and you've got the cash to spare, Bludgeon alone makes this worth a look.

Then call me crazy because I prefer the Voyager mold of Bludgeon.

If this redeco of Wreckage used either a different shade of brown or different colour altogether, I may consider looking for it. Then again, it's in a two pack and I don't want Whirl, I prefer Grindor's colour scheme.

It's funny how the pics of Bludgeon fighting Megatron, cutting off his head, and then holding his head; are followed by pics of the two of them standing side-by-side as though they were best friends.

I got the set because I wanted to add Whirl to the Wreckers, turns out I like Bludgeon (I call him Ballistic) better.

I was only buying Bludgeon for the purpose of putting him in my Classics collection, The Voyager version just works better for that.

And I totally agree with you on the awesomeness of Wreckage. But why does everyone hate Blackout? I thought the Whirl repaint was pretty spiffy.

I don't hate Blackout or the Whirl repaint, but the head sculpt of Whirl really prevents me from buying it.

i cant wait for voyager bludgeon.... he looks so damn cool

I really this gallery and really like these figures! too me they have good repaints and good G1 homeage to whirl, but bludgeon is kinda half way there to his homeage. But the BIGGEST problem with both of these figures is the paint appl on whirl and bludgeon face! their horrible!! i swear all the ones i've seen at the TRU's near me, I thought blind people painted them and hasbro's QC is really bad for both of these figures and i think hasbro rushed these figures out and didnt check any quality.

Anyway, enough ranting, but i want these still and whirl for the wreckers and bludgeon to add to my collection...\

Also, i have wreckage, but i think bludgeon looks alot better!

Call me crazy, whatever.

That upcoming Voyager Bludgeon is outstanding.

Samurai sword in the tank barrel for the win.

Exactly. It's a funny setup too if you consider the myth of the katana as the ultimate sword that can sheer through steel gun barrels and "cut" a bullet.

Gah, I'm dying for this set! It's jsut a little more than I should spend right now, and since it's so abundant at TRU I figure I'll keep an eye out and grab it on clearance.

I like the Movie Blackout mold a lot, I have the original and Evac, and I'll buy this one someday and ROTF Whirl when I see him. I have Wreckage but I want the green camo color.

While I have this set and do enjoy it quite a bit. I really would
have preferred Whirl to be the Incinerator mold. Especially since
the newer comics have him as an Ospey styled aircraft on cybertron.
All they would have needed to do was change his color pallette and
paint his visor translucent red. The Wreckage recolor is aces.
Aces all around.

First off i know i've posted about these two before, but yesterday i drove about 50 or so miles trying to find a half way decent paint app for whirl & bludgeon at two different TRU's and the last TRU i went to they had plenty of these guys and i was ready to grab one with a good paint app and they had a few more with decent paint apps, but i saw they had 1 HA Sideswipe and got him instead and used my $10.00 gift card. I really wanted both, but the wife already went shopping, so i could only get one!!! I'll go back down in a couple of weeks and pick both of them up, unless Swerve, Thrust and Bruticus come out, then Whirl & Bludgeon will be back on the waiting list, again......

Also, bludgeon does look better that wreckage and Whirl is better than Evac!!! and between all the Blackout repaints, Grindor is the best!!! something about the grey with black face and the gold crest on his head.....

I was all about Bludgeon until I saw the voyager version. If I see this at a good discount, I might still cave.
