The Energon Pub

I am eagerly anticipating these reissues. I just started collecting again after purchasing MP-04 and MP-05 back in April. So these will be a welcome addition to my collection. Who do you think will be the next 4 in the line?

Since the first four are 3:1 in favor of decepticons, I'm thinking the next four will be in favor of autobots. I'm thinking they'll go with the icons, so my guesses will be:

05 - Jazz
06 - Prowl
07 - Hot Rod
08 - ? (decepticon)

I'd love it if they did Ramjet and Thrust since the ehobby reissues are kinda pricey and Hasbro did not reissue them at all.

I'd like Thrust, Ramjet, Insecticons.

I agree.

These are long overdue. They have the capability and the timing would be appropriate, especially considering the furver over the BotCon toys.

thrust would make sense because he is rarely reissued.

Thrust would be great!

I would be hoping for Trailbreaker, and others that were not released in either the COMMEMORATIVE line, or the BOXED JAPANESE line. Squawkbox, Grandslam, Dinocassettes... anything that has not recently been re-issued. I'd also like to see a Bluestreak in BLUE.

I want a box set of background seekers, but that's a 100% no go!

Dinobots would rock, if only it had not been announced that TAKARA has lost the molds.

I mean really how does one lose these things anyway? I offer my basement for storage of them. Just call me when you want one.

Biggest news of the convention for me at any rate.

I've held out on buying original Dinobots for a long time.

Guess the hold-out is over.

Same here. Mine are kinda beat up and I've been avoiding replacing them with mint ones due to the cost and hoping for a Reissue.

Lost the the mold?? I think they left them behind in the Chinese factories which is where the nice KOs are probably originating from.

05 - Thundercracker
06 - Skywarp
07 - Jazz
08 - Prowl

You can make redecolors of them all so ... why dont start with these?

Well I just bought a G1 Dirge the other day so I'd like Encore to do Ramjet & Thrust.

Plus I think Cyclonus, Wheeljack, Sunstreaker, Springer and Sandstorm are about ready to be reissued... I mean really, how many G1 fans would have mint examples of each of them?

The Encore series needs to use molds that weren't used in the TFC & Commemorative reissue series' if it wants to be a big seller.

I have two Springers MISB, and one loose and in pristine shape (I pulled it off the card, and applied the stickers--there was not box with it).

The others would be great though!

Same here for me too. Although you got a good start with scoring a damn nice Grimlock at the show.

Now I need a good Slag, and Sludge. Knowing they will not get any kind of Re-issue makes me want to nab these guys to upgrade my 5-some. I have a semi complete/decent condition Slag, and complete Sludge from my childhood, but he has some weird film on him from being in our damp basement for a good ten years...
