The Energon Pub

Let's say, 10 best Autobots, and 10 best Decepticons for starters. These things look kind of cool. I like the gimmicks.

Well haven't really got any but I have heard that Hotshot was a very good toy.

Soundwave, Hot Shot, Scourge, Ransack, Metroplex, Optimus Prime, Primus, Unicron, Cybertron Defense Hot Shot, Cyber Defense Red Alert, Shortround, Backstop, Leobreaker, Megatron and I think that's all

Those I recommend:

Autobots: Hot Shot, Clocker, Red Alert, the CD bots, Armorhide, Breakdown, Evac, Optimus Prime

Decepticons: Scourge, Sideways, Giant pl. Mini-con team (I hate mini-cons, but those rock, especially Deepdive), Short Round, Soundwave, Crumplezone, Thundercracker, Ransack

Unicronian: Unicron

Cybertron: Primus

1.I've really gotten a liking to Soundwave
2.Hot Shot looks a lot like Excellion. I like Excellion's colors a little better.
3.Scourge or Cryo-Scourge?
4.Ransack, I'll check him out (I love Seibertrons toy section).
5.Metroplex has a strange alt mode, but he looks cool.
6.Which Optimus Prime?
7.Primus, I like.
8.Unicron...how did he get from giant planet to this?
The rest I don't know about. Why are there 2 Hot Shots?

And lastly Primus. He's a superb piece.

You simply cannot go wrong with...

What about in terms of play value, which Autobots and Decepticons deserve to be at the top?

Not in order

Autobots

Metroplex
Leobreaker
Optimus Prime
Snarl
Hot Shot
Jetfire
Scattershot
Red Alert
Vector Prime
Primus

Decepticons

Megatron/Galvatron
Nemesisbreaker
Soundwave
Starscream
Unicron
SkyShadow
Sideways
Dark Scorponok
Crumplezone
Scourge

In terms of sheer playability and fun, I'm assuming Primus, Optimus Prime, and the other ones which have more than a triple change are the best, right?

Here's my top 5:

Autobots:

- Primus (amazing, the detail, the articulation, everything...)
- Armorhide
- Evac (best helicopter TF ever)
- Vector Prime
- Landmine

Decepticons:

- Dirt Boss (one of the most fun TF figures ever)
- Shortround (my all-time favourite TF, he turns into a toilet for crying out loud...)
- Soundwave
- Ransack (or Ransack GTS, depending on which colours you like better)
- Deluxe Unicron (great re-imagining of a classic character, really well sculpted, looks very evil)

Okay, how does Shortround turn into a toilet? Looks like a hovercraft in the pictures... ?

Anyone have any thoughts on Demolisher???

He's not an outstanding figure but if you like tanks he's not too bad.

I Prefer his Armada Powerlinx repaint(dark red and tan)

But any of his other re-paints. Armada x 2 or Energon are just as good.

Of course the Cybertron Release doesn't come with a minicon, instead has a key.

Shortround is a triple-changer! Robot, hovercraft and TOILET!!!

I wanna put it to a vote and make it official, Shortround must join the ranks of Bludgeon, Scarem, Stalker and all the other fan-favourite Transformers. Everybody should own this toy.





I would credit the people who took these photos, but sadly, I don't remember who they were. Great shots though, love the Tarantulas one.

^The Tarantulas one made me lol

Makes me want to get him lol

Really fun toy, if expense is a problem, just find the Cyb repaint.

Hands down best of the line for me? Evac But that's only if I could choose just one toy out of the whole line.

He's a pretty cool figure, especially if you don't have the Armada or Energon versions. Sadly he is missing his Minicon partner though. You should be able to find him on clearance at most stores.
