The Energon Pub

[Counterpunch]

The Botcon Shattered Glass Megatron was remolded from Energon Megatron, which was a Leader Class figure.

Wrong, Shattered Glass Meg's used the exclusive voyager mold.

Really?

I thought I remembered the "voyager" mold being tiny, as in roughly the same size as the Deluxe Energon Optimus Prime figure.

One less reason to be disappointed that I missed out on that set I suppose.

It wasn't small in any regard. It was certainly larger (2x height) than the deluxe Prime.

I looked at that pic earlier and thought the camera angle was screwing with me.

What screws with me is realizing that I own all of those...

[Prime Evil]

Just "MY" wish list. I have no story but these are molds and characters that closely their namesake IMO. I would love for most if not all for these to have remolded heads.

Energon Sharkticon= Finback
Energon Landmine= Decepticon Clench
Cyb Unicron= Bludgeon
Energon Starscream= New Female Seeker
Cyb Scrapmetal= Rumble and Frenzy (Needs new head definitly!)

RiD Optimus= Defensor
Universe Sunstreaker+Sideswipe= Punch/Counterpunch
Energon Bulkhead= Whirl
Cyb Def Scattorshot= The Last Dynobot (yeah, I made that up. I originally wanted that to be Grimlock)
Cyb Menasor= Omega Supreme

Idea # 3

Seacons repainted from:
BW Rampage -> Snaptrap (King Crab instead of Snapping Turtle, but c'mon, functionally the alternate modes are the same.)
BW Cybershark -> Overbite
BW Sea-Clamp -> Nautilator
BW Depthcharge -> Seawing
BW Claw-jaw -> Tentakil
??????????? -> Skalor

I think all of those molds would come off quite well in the Seacon colors, especially the transmetals.

G1 Predacons
BM Snarl -> Razorclaw
BW Transmetal II Cheetor -> Rampage
BW Transmetal Rhinox -> Headstrong
BM Longhorn -> Tantrum
BW Transmetal Terrorsaur -> Divebomb

Or

BW Magnaboss -> Predaking

My dream set is a set of Botcon tfs is a set I have absolutly no interest in, as there is no way I could atand Botcon, and no way I could aford the utterly ripoffish prices I'd have to pay for them.

[Savage]

I can't think of a whole set, but here's a few characters I'd like to see:

Bludgeon from Movie Deluxe Wreckage
Thunderwing from Cybertron Starscream or Titanium WWI Seeker mold.


Brawn from Animated Soundwave (No, really, a head remold and ditch Lazerbeak, and it could work!)
Sideswipe and Sunstreaker using Movie Bumblebee mold with new heads, minor retooling.

[Windsweeper]

I have a Custom Bludgeon repaint of Movie Wreckage, it's great. Same goes for custom repaint of Cybertron Swerve as Hot Rod.

Love all the suggestions so far.

Just a few more if you don't mind indulging me.

Minibot set

Cybertron Shortround as Seaspray
Overhaul as Outback and Brawn with remolded heads and Outback's gun.
Movie Brawl as Warpath
Cybertron Sideways as Cosmos
hardtop as Beachcomber
Overhaul as Swerve or Gears
Cybertron Brakedown as Wheelie
Classics Bumblebee as Hub Cap, Glyph and Tap Out
Movie Bumblebee as Tailgate, Rook or Windcharger

Spychanger set

G2 Gobots as WARS
G2 Drench as Daytonus
RM Mirage as RID Mirage or G2 Double Clutch
Animated Soundwave or Cybertron Overhaul as RID Ironhide or G2 Motormouth
Reissue Sideswipe as Firecracker

Grave Danger

The Autobots are falling one by one to Jhiaxus, and only an Autobot leader - Optimus Prime - can save them now!

Jhiaxus - Retooled* Beast Wars II Galvatron Repainted to look like G2 Comics

Arcee - Energon Arcee Repainted to look like G1

Optimus Prime - Classics Optimus Prime Repainted to look like G1

Sideswipe - Retooled**Cybertron Downshift Repainted to look like G1

Grimlock - Energon Grimlock Repainted to look like G1

* Galvatron's head will be retooled into Jhiaxus' head based on the G2 Comics.
** Downshift's head will be retooled into Sideswipe's head based on G1.

I will think of more soon.

[Savage]

Bludgeon - from Classics Galvatron or Movie Wreckage
Thunderwing - from Cybertron Starscream
Straxus - not sure
Jhiaxus - not sure

[Skullcrunchberries]

"For One Young Autobot"? We're definitely looking at Wheelimus Prime here, folks.

As for the set, I'm gonna have to cast my vote for a G2-inspired set, examples of which've been given in plenty so I'll refrain here. Though I would love to see some new Shattered Glass figures, I know they'll be few and far between (and an amalgamation of imagination and possibly some TFClub exclusives?) and I sincerely doubt we'll ever get another BotCon SG set. At least, until they start running out of ideas.

[SentinelA]

For some reason I get the feeling y'all gonna get Classics Sunstorm.

[Dagon]

For some reason I get the feeling y'all gonna get Classics Sunstorm.

Ain't nuffin wrong wif dat.

[Delicon]

You know what would be a good idea? A combiner set, sorta like they did recently with the Seacons, but this time repaints of classic Japanese Gestalts like say the Trainbots that were never released in the States.

[turkishproverb]

Or G2 Colored Classics Devastator. *shivers*

I take it back.

[Badass Grimlock]

Grave Danger

The Autobots are falling one by one to Jhiaxus, and only an Autobot leader - Optimus Prime - can save them now!

Jhiaxus - Retooled* Beast Wars II Galvatron Repainted to look like G2 Comics

Arcee -Energon Arcee Repainted to look like G1

Optimus Prime - Classics Optimus Prime Repainted to look like G1

Sideswipe - Retooled**Cybertron Downshift Repainted to look like G1

Grimlock - Energon Grimlock Repainted to look like G1

* Galvatron's head will be retooled into Jhiaxus' head based on the G2 Comics.
** Downshift's head will be retooled into Sideswipe's head based on G1.

I will think of more soon.

Jhiaxus is now Straxus. His head will be remolded like the others. His Dragon-mode wings will be remolded as well, to accommodate holding by the figure. This is because, when the wings partially transform, It will become Straxus' "Pickax of Doom".

Arcee's head will he remolded to look like G1.

Grimlock's fists will be remolded to look better. His sword will be a translucent red.

New Character! Ironhide is a repainted Cybertron Armorhide.

New Character! Hot Rod is a repainted Cybertron Clocker with a new head.

This was screwed up. I actually had a dream about this year's Botcon set last night. I forgot the name of the set, but it involved a Decepticon mining colony with Autobot slaves. Now that I'm waking up, I can't really remember who was all in the set, but I do remember seeing an Armada Overload repaint. If this happens, I will freak out. It seemed so real.
