The Energon Pub

Never did find the Constructicon and Destron sets in retail. The Constructicon set was going to be my placeholder Classics Devastator until I could actually find the Wal*Mart giftset, and the Destrons as my Classics Menasor with some swapped-out limbs from the Rallybot set.

The uniformed colour looks pretty good. I'm tempted to send away for some of these.

I don't have much from this line mainly by choice. I do have the Constructicon set and really enjoy it for what it is. My son had the Dinobot set. He's nine and loves dinosaurs so it was a no brainer.

The new colors on the other sets do nothing for me as I don't think the designs were ever good enough to buy initially.

More of the Rallybots? Uh-oh.

The Mudslinger redeco looks nice with a uniform color scheme, but nothing can save the Rallybots from being terrible. I find it odd that the one group that needed a uniform color scheme didn't get one. I'm talking about the Constructicons. I just KNEW they were going to get the neon green and purple colors they deserved...

I really like the new colour schemes, uniformed or not. They're not enough to make me want to cough up for them though.

if they repaint undertow like Octopunch I will buy it. For whatever price they ask. Probably. the other ones all look pretty nice too.

With the FOC game/toys on the horizon they should've seriously labeled this differently.

Damn Power Core Combiners....


PASS!

I really like some of the pccs but I don't see any reason to buy these sets again.

Darn it I was hoping that the Dinobots were going to be colored like Dinoking.

Why do these look so awesome.

I really want the Dinobots... The colour make it look so much better.

I want the Heavytread/Undertow 2 pack too. Never saw those 2 here...

So three sets are indeed basically identical to the USA editions? Is that confirmed, or could these be early mockups... final colors coming later. Hmmmm.

The Grimstone & Dinobots look largely identical to the US version, but I can tell you the last three images are just US stock photos, pose and all, so the colors are not final.

And I sincerely hope Double Clutch has his issues properly fixed this time.

While I'm a bit overwhelmed by such a load of new PowerCore bots... I am excited that these probably aren't the final colors of the construction team. If they were Devastator gren/purple color, I'd be STOKED. Immediate buy if they do it.

green/purple did seem to be an obvious repaint option for the construction guys. wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if we got a green Sledge at some point too, although that orangey looking one is pretty nice.

exactly!! I can't understand why Hasbro/Takara don't make definite plans to release EVERY construction vehicle in that scheme. Mudflap comes to mind.

They don't do it because todays kids, for the most part, don't know a thing about the G1 Constructicons. They (Hasbro) are going for the money, not the overall pleasing of the fans and the youth outnumber us "oldtimers" by a substantial amount. The only green Hasbro wants to see is what comes out of parents wallets.
