The Energon Pub

I found this in the Christmas section of Target tonight.

It appears to be a holiday themed stocking stuffer 3-pack of Robot Heroes. The set was $7.99, but wouldn't scan.

It contains ROTF Prime, with what looks like shinier silver, an unchanged brown and green Ironhide (from the set with Mixmaster), and an unchanged ROTF Starscream. I may be wrong about Prime. It's kinda hard to tell, because I'm comparing it to Ryan's gallery, since mine is packed away.

That's cute!

Wow cute.. end of the year is coming.. Its CHRISTMAS time!

At least they didn't do what they did to the Star Wars Heroes figures. Those guys got messed up, with candy canes instead of lightsabers and Santa Claus hats...

You just know there's going to be some poor kid who gets this on Christmas day, and starts crying. "What's wrong, Billy? We got you the three Transformers you said you wanted?" "But, mama... they don't transform!!!"

Actually they didn't. I got both of those packs for my young nephew and was very pleased to see that they were merely removable add-ons. So he got six perfectly good Galactic heroes for his collection.

Is the dryer included?

Will pick this up for sure. Kinda dislike some of the pairings they do for the robot heroes. But not this one

You give these out instead of coal.

I'd be one happy kid if I got these for the holidays. They remind me of Battle Beasts.

I think it's a pretty awesome set at a pretty great price. It's also some of the most overtly christmas themed packaging that I've ever seen on regular TF toys.

Wouldn't mind finding that in my stocking!

Seriously? Phew, good stuff. I might pick up a pack of them now! Thanks!

Very cute.

Wow. Might just have to get these.

I'd rather get the coal

That's wrong. I remember Christmas '07, when Transformers was so popular, there were literally no Transformers for us. So on Christmas morn, we opened the gifts, and what did we find? Nearly an entire collection of G1 Robot Heroes. We also each got a Scout-class '07 figure and a Deluxe '07 figure (I got Dropkick and Signal Flare). The point is, if it weren't for Robot Heroes, I would've had only two Transformers for Christmas (from my mom and dad - from the relatives, that's a whole new story ).

Love me some Robot Heroes. I have all the G1 figures from that series and even made an RPG out of them using d20s and playing cards.

No way! I just finished writing up a story for an RPG with my ROTF figs! Lol!
