The Energon Pub

Thanks to our man on the scene, Supreme Convoy, we are seeing a lot of images of exciting upcoming Transformers products and you can see them all on Seibertron.com's SDCC 2011 Event page.



More pictures and news will be coming in as it happens so keep checking back with Seibertron.com for the latest news!

That unicron is just insanely detailed!
my problem is, why can't we get a new mold of unicron, (Aside his wierd Cybertron Tank mode). Why didnt they ever release the beast wars neo version? That one looked the best IMO. I'm just tired of the overuse of the armada unicron mold. Maybe the kickass awesome ever growing transformers prime show and even cooler it seems toyline will surprise us with a brand new unicron mold! all we could do is hope.......

The development of a Unicron toy costs quite a few pretty pennies, and the character slipped into obscurity with the kids.

And the only new toy I'm looking forward to is Dark Steel! O, and Unicron.

Hmm...Darksteel looks cool o.O...That headsculpt looks menacing.And his mechtech looks awesome

Is it just me or does that Air Raid figure looks like a commander class rather than a Deluxe class x_x?

CV Shockwave looks awesome. And I think he's a "cheat" compare to other CV w/ Accesories. The other CV w/ Acc doesnt even have a basic weapon. This guy have THREE weapons. The armblade,cannon and a huger cannon o.O...

Darksteel does look pretty sweet, even if the name is a little weird. It sounds more like it should be a qualifier like Dark Steel Sideswipe, etc. Plus, I was just starting to warm to the name "Dark Iron." Oh well, I'm sure I'll get used to it

Air Raid is interesting, but he looks like he has the TF Prime aesthetic more than movieverse.

AIR RAID YOU WILL BE MINE! Love the mace and radar disc shield motiff! Also, I still have ROTF Breakaway, Leader starscream, Mindwipe, Im going to get deluxe starscream and thundercracker, and hopefully skywarp, that way I can have all those jets, oh, and the japanese repaint of thrust, isnt that ALSO air raid? What about silverbolt? I love me some movieverse jet bots! CAN YOU TELL? HUH CAN YA?

Hope I'm not the only one here who has the slightest bit of interest in the Rescue Bots.

I want that green Powerglide. Any guesses on who that set will be exclusive to?

Also, the Flash Freeze Assault set (HA SS and Icepick) are out at Kmart now for 17.99.

Where will the Unicron show up this time around? Missed buying hime twice, would like to make up for those two mistakes.

Amazon exclusive, so you'll have to buy him online.


Air Raid looks like he doesn't have hands...can anyone confirm/deny? The style is kind of weird, almost Prime-ish, but still Movie. I'm not excited about this guy, especially with this color scheme.

Are you sure that's not the Daredevil Stunt Team with the Silver Bumblebee and repaint of Backfire? That set is $17.99 and is much smaller than this set.

I just wished they would've changed the feet, so that he can form a proper globe, or at least 3/4 a proper globe as opposed to 1/4.

I'm sooooooo getting that Unicron. The best variation yet!

A couple questions that STILL need answering....

1. Although the box art shows Unicron's eyes as glowing green, we need confirmation from Hasbro (a demonstration would be nice) that the LED's inside the head are NOT red like Takara's 2010 version, but green or clear to really show the eyecolor properly.

2. Will Amazon be offering a pre-order for this? If so, when? If not, when will it be available?

Can someone at the Con check into this?

We still havn't seen anything new from DOTM aside from Air Raid?

The prime Optimus box on the back looks awesome.

It's all crap except Unicron, and he could still use some work.

The DOTM Soundwave figures, at every size, look like ****. It's like Hasbro or Takara bought some rejected Bionicle blueprints or something.

Oh well. Looks like I'll be saving money on Transformers this year.

Positive. I checked it at the price scanner just to be sure.

Apparently, the patch that comes with the Daredevil set is worth the difference between a deluxe and an HA.

Oddly, Icepick has Autobot markings.

I forgot to ask.....when will the Exclusive Unicron be available for order?

Jesus. Does anyone read the threads anymore?

The only information about Unicron so far is that it's coming in October.

I'm not a fan of the Hasbro amazon exclusive unicron repainted toy. I don't like the yellow colors on the robot opening chest flaps,it doesn't blend in well with the grey colors. I also don't like the blue ocean colors on amazon unicron.

I think the Takara 2010 Unicron has the best color schemes thus far.

I also have ZERO interest in the Rescue bots toys/cartoon series.

I'm just surprissed Hasbro has the funds to do a Rescue bots cartoon series on the hub. Yet hasbro doesn't have the funds to do a retro classics TF styled cartoon series. IMO,Even a PCC or universe cartoon series with one season would be better than rescue bots.

They will indeed be green LEDs. My friend got a confirmation of this while I was looking at the figure inside its display case during last month's BotCon.

I said I DO have interest in the Rescue Bots.

Same here!
That head-sculpt is amazing.

They look green to me...........

Jesus, did anyone answer this question on this thread BEFORE I even asked? NOPE
