The Energon Pub

TFW2005 board member Hoolagrin has found some DCPI numbers in the computers at Target which provide hints at future figures, as seen below.

087-06-1950 - Transformers Cyber Ops Bumblebee ~$60
087-06-0109 - Transformers Movie 2 Battle pk ~$20
087-06-1556 - Transformers 5pk combiner ~$20
087-06-1889 - Transformers DLX movie collection ~$13
087-06-1890 - Transformers DLX Collection 2 ~$13
087-06-1892 - Transformers Combiners 2 pk ~ $10
087-06-0019 - Transformers movie 2 legends 2pk ~$7
087-06-2048 - Transformers Animation Laptop ~ $20

Is is generally assumed that the Combiners 2 pk refers to the Power Core Combiners that we reported earlier. Also the legends 2pk would refer to the Smokescreen vs Starscream and Bumblebee vs Shadow Striker that we also reported earlier. The DLX Collection 2 is also likely to be the NEST Bumblebee vs Soundwave 2 pack.

As for the rest, it's all a guessing game at this point. Feel free to speculate!

Also a neat tidbit, Hoolagrin continues to explain that it appears that the Human Alliance line may continue past the ROTF line. THis is however, just a rumour as Hasbro has been known to change its mind in the past. Check out the original post here.

I think based on price the Movie 2 Battle Pack is more likely NEST BB vs Soundwave.

That Cyber Ops Bumblebee creeps me out, and I hope it's not the "Leader" Bumblebee we saw yesterday.

Combiners 5 pack for 20$... too cheap to be a big combiner, maybe a re-release of the micromaster combiners, or a (*cough*gottacatchemall!*cough*) pack of PCC "nebulosians"?

087-06-1890 - Transformers DLX Collection 2 ~$13

The DLX Collection 2 is also likely to be the NEST Bumblebee vs Soundwave 2 pack

13$ for a two-pack? I think that would be too cheap...

Also, the first thing that jumped to mind about "DLX Collection 2"... continuation of the black-box deluxes, perhaps?

must save for botcon , must save for botcon, must save for botcon, must save for botcon, must save for botcon ....

WHATS THAT? solid evidence of an expensive bumble bee figure mere days and hours after rumor of a leader bee mold?
am i the only one who senses a connection?
(still not gonna get it)

and yeah. all the combiners stuff sounds like hints to the powercore combiners. i hope that 5 pack end up being as awesome as it sounds like it might be.

Ok heres what think these might be.

Tf Cyber Ops Bumblebee ~$60 -repaint of 07 ultimate bb
Tf Movie 2 Battle pk ~$20 -bb & soundwave repaints
Tf 5pk combiner ~$20 -repaint of energon devastator
Tf DLX movie collection ~$13 -more then likely repaints
Tf DLX Collection 2 ~$13 -again more then likely repaints
Tf Combiners 2 pk ~ $10 -not shure what this could be either that new PCC thing we say a while back, or repaints of the 09 legends O.P. and Jetfire
Tf movie 2 legends 2pk ~$7 -its more then likely what u think it is
Tf Animation Laptop ~ $20 -repaint of the 07 laptop thing

the things i'm most interested in are the Tf 5pk combiner and Tf Combiners 2 pk (if its the TF PCC figure)

$13 for deluxes
$60 for an ultimate BB repaint dunno , I only bought the rotf version because it played the touch.
I'm kinda scared about these PC figs I dont care for the concept.
I wan the Target legends repaints tho

So I hope this line will be a updated version of master force, a concept much like the power masters and target masters, even headmasters....I love combiners hopefully we get a new mold. But since its likley energon devastator repaint, ( seeing as how the other two have gotten repainted or re-released under different lines at least twice) I dont think any gimic could as bad as cybertron power keys which made no sense. at least armadas mini-cons could run around on thier own. and energons weapons semi-made sense. huffers little partner bares a strong resembelance to power master AND Target master put together....vehicle part and a weapon of sorts... I am interested

The other energon combiner repaints went for 30. If they were successful to warrant the constructicon one to be released I'd suspect it'd be 30 as well. 20 would be nice of course. It really breaks down as 1 10 dollar 2 and 4 5 dollar ones.
It could be possibly be a g1 repaint, still I kind of doubt that too at that price. They could have few enough parts to pass as a 20 dollar toy though.
I'm a little stumped, really, for 20 bucks, it might be a nice surprise.

The 5 pack combiner piques my interest, who hasn't been brought back? Are they reviving Devastator again since the old Classics/Universe 1.0 line? Or perhaps making a new team?

The power core combiners are a nice reintroduction to a long line of "little buddy" lines that have only been randomly touched in Universe and entirely from using old molds. From the look of it, they might even be using larger scale partners than earlier generations.

I'm hoping that 5 pack combiner is a legends size combiner. I'd kill for an itty bitty technobot comity!

Am I the only one here that thinks that, 1) yes it's a new Bumblebee mold because they sell like freaking hotcakes to the little kids who now love the guy, and 2) there IS a size class at the $60 price point- the size that includes Roll Out Command Optimus Prime from the Animated series. Does this mean perhaps that Hasbro is going to expand this price point in future lines?

I sure hope not. My wallet can't take much more of this!

Well, it's better than the $90 price point on the wallet...

Ani ROC Prime is a Supreme-class toy, and there's allready a Bumblebee in that category, the Supreme BBee from the first movie.
