The Energon Pub

FYI for any that didn't know (I only just discovered this myself) - if you click on the image in the auction you can zoom in a bit. It let me have a better look at Kup & Wreckgar's faces in particular.

Also, it's a shame that Takara aren't giving us a more G1 flame deco on Tracks' hood. *EDIT* Just read that apparently all the Pics besides Lugnut and Straxus are Hasbro pics - so maybe we will get a different Tracks deco and Wreck-gar wont have all that ugly grey plastic. There's a red autobot symbol on Kup's hood though - does this mean that Hasbro are reverting to coloured faction symbols (like they did with Drift)?

Here are the links to the auctions for your convenience:

Kup
Perceptor
Wreck-gar
Jazz
Lugnut
Tracks

Also, the extra pictures should definitely be frontpaged if they haven't been already!

Very Very cool. I'm sure they can pull a Trailbreaker out of that mold easily.

Can't wait for Jazz, and Tracks. I need to be making more money.

Pure secks. Nuff said.

I think Kup is easily the best looking of the 2011 figures. Pure brilliance. That weapon looks wrong though. He should at least have a sawn-off type weapon. Something small that packs a lot of punch.

Totally agree with Oilspill. A little bit of tinkering and that Perceptor would make pretty decent Trailbreaker and Hoist figures. I'd buy them.

Someone also mentioned that the bot mode looks a lot like Reflector. I think it does too, even without a new head (though I believe a new Reflector head was mentioned at Botcon). The alt mode is not too appropriate, but Hasbro have done worse in the past - and I like the half-track vehicle anyway.

If they did Perceptor, repainted into Reflector, then remoulded head and wheels for Trailbreaker then another head for Hoist - well if that happens I may just buy this mould 4 times

I'd love a towing assembly for Hoist, but they probably couldn't work that into the transformation.

Along with images of Transformers United Kup that we posted earlier today, our readers have found new pictures of Transformers United Lugnut, Perceptor, Jazz and Wreck-gar. All of these images come from Amazon Japan. Check them out below and click on them to see their respective entries.

Thanks for the links Oilspill! I definitely took a closer look at all of them. Really great pieces these figures. Hopefully the Takara decos for Tracks screams G1.

Actually, tackertackle of TFW2005 seems to have found even better quality pics in his post here.

I'm going to go drool at them a bit more. Wreckgar even has the chest-antennae-gun-things he had in G1.

They are ALL cool. They must've hired a true fan to do these designs.

I split this topic from the Kup one since there was already almost 100 posts about Kup before these images for these characters started being discussed.

Fantastic! Jazz is awesome, pure joy!! Perceptor is awesome!!! Wreck-gar is awesome!! Tracks, Kup...AWESOME!! I think I might touch up Wreck-Gar with some metallic paint, actually! What a fantastic wave of figures! An ode to all Transformers fans, with a special wink and a kiss blown at us G1 era fans!!

This line just keeps getting better and better..!

I'm so excited for absolutely all of these. My only concern is Lugnut. Becasue It would appear that the "Reveal The Shield" line is movie-formers and Classics 3.0 together. So, I don't know which category Lugnut really falls under. Though, I'll probably get him anyways, I'd like to avoid buying anymore movie-formers.

Hasbro/Takara arent playing this time... these are kickass products, now all I need to see an accurate springer and redo of the 2010 combiners (Abominus, Computron, and Predaking)I dare them, how about that.......

Jazz, Wreck-Gar and Perceptor are just 3 very sexy toys!

What's that on Jazz' roof though?

It's over for me. Must have them all, no matter the cost!

Urrrrrrrgh. They are fantastic. 'Nuff said.

Not for Resale.

Good, so that's going to dissapear then.

WreckGar looks like a human being in a suit with that flesh-tone face. Cosplay WreckGar maybe?

Perceptor looks great, but maybe he should have been a CSI truck with a microscope and things in the back? Would be fun to build an actual truck like this, but I don't think the tracks would be street legal.

Seems they are all coming out now with open fists

The more I see United Lugnut, the more I have a feeling I'm going to ignore my rule about buying Hasbro over Takara versions with him.

Ok i take it back Lugnut looks pretty damn cool in purple. All these look awesome cant wait to get em.

And just so everyone realizes.. These are pre order

This product is projected release date of February 26, 2011

Man, that perceptor is great....looks just like him. Is he going to come with a big gun? or just the shoulder missile/cannon?

I like the alt mode colors on Hasbro Lugnut slightly better. Although his bot mode looks AMAZING with the purple, black and yellow. Hmmmm. I might get both if I can afford it. Perceptor is really shaping up to be a great figure, even without his traditional alt mode. He and Jazz will be BOS for me. I'm not the biggest Wreck-Gar fan, and without an army of Junkions he has less appeal to me, so I may wait on him.
