The Energon Pub

Let's have a black celebration.

Too much awesome in that shot. Overload, overload!

I have the G1 Black Rodimus. Totally missed out on Gentei Wildrider (I wants!!). I have no interest in Shattered Glass Rodimus & Animated Black Rodimus. This is like Optimus having his own series of Nemesis Primes except Rodimus is having his own evil twin. There's something about giving the leader 'bots a nemesis that's just really cool. I mean, it's not enough to give them Megatron or Galvatron to fight, we now have to give them a Nemesis Prime or Nemesis Rodimus also.

Who wants to share their black Transformers collection? I'm curious to see what people have in their collections that I don't have yet.

I only have two: THS-02 G1 Convoy Black Version, and GC-14 Fang Wolf Black Version. Once I find a decent way to, I may post pics of both.

Really wish Gentai Wildrider hadn't slipped by. That and I wish he wasn't crazy money after all. Why is he crazy money? At the time he was the only Stunticon available for Classics/Henkei. He's still only got Drag Strip for company as it is. I could understand the insanity of it all if there were a complete roster of Classics Stunticons but there isn't. Not even close.

Gee, what a conspiracy! Hot Rod got 3 black paint already? I'm still waiting for a black UMagnus to happen

*Oh wait, there was that Black RID version, yeah good luck for me in trying to own one*

Yea, tell me about it. I got all my pics loaded onto photobucket.

Where's titanium Menasaur?

Ok, pics are taken, now I have to resize them and then upload them. Let me tell you this though, Convoy is photogenic

Hey Seibertron why no shout out for hooking you up with that Gentei Wildrider? hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have the figures you traded me for it!

Thanks again Savage_Prime. I really appreciate the hookup. Gave you a shout out in the gallery now as well: http://www.seibertron.com/toys/gallery. ... =0&start=0

To be honest, I always forget about him. That toy is still an abomination to me.

OK, here are my pics of Fang Wolf Black Version. Excuse the burriness, and enjoy:





Now working on resizing the Hybrid Convoy pics.

You shouldn't have to resize pics. I think the site does it automatically if you upload an image that is larger than the specs I provided.

I don't have any of the black Cybertron or Robot Masters figures ... yet. The Robot Masters ones aren't that expensive to get, but they're just black versions of molds that are rather terrible.

Fang Wolf Black looks pretty nice. What's his story? Is he a Decepticon or just a black version of the same character?

Why the dislike?

Thing is, it may resize, but it rejects anything above 256 kb. I had to shrink them down to 25% original size, but it cuts the file size down to an 1/8.

Black Fang Wolf has no backstory at all, in fact his box is the same as the regular Fang Wolf, only with an additional sticker. It's safe to say he's the same character. He was fairly cheap, probably because he wasn't a major character. I paid slightly over what a regular imported GF toy would cost, should you be interested in hunting him down.

Hybrid Black G1 Convoy does have a backstory however, saving Ultra Magnus from Galvatron II with his new gun, which uses sunlight for power. The black is to get the most out of it, since black is the only color that totally absorbs and doesn't reflect.

The pics of this guy turned out better, minus the glare from the chromed parts. First up, Vehicle:

And now, Robot Mode. He's a bit photogenic, I know...

Don't tell me I'm the only one who actually wanted to show off

Anybody have the eHobby Black Megatron? I know a store near me has it, but i'm kind of on the fence with him.
