The Energon Pub

Two things arrived this morning... The blandest white box of joy and covid.

Kind of destiny having got the botbots ducky a few weeks ago as for the other, I'm sure megatrons voice will soothe things.

Was able to pick up the latest Hallmark G1 Christmas ornament, Shockwave over this past weekend. Decided to to break out the entire group for a photo op. Have to say though, Shockwave looks amazing, could be my favorite one now.

He is glorious. Mine will never see alt mode to make sure he doesn't get scratched going there

After many years, my Shark Collection is finally complete...







With the arrival of Hellwarp, the full display for Metroplex is ready to go. All that is left, after a year or two, would be to take Metroplex out of his box and set him up too

Very nice. That Hellwarp recolor is very sharp

Some shenanigans from my desk last week

Playing with my toys!

It is really nice. To be honest, I was going to call my Shark collection finished with Hammerstrike. As I didn't like the look of Generations Sky Byte. Typically, a friend bought me as a thank you. Which meant my Sharks wouldn't be complete until I got Hellwarp. Took a while, as I prioritise my collection last in all of my obligations. But now, I think that is it. My City Bot displays are complete.
Trypticon has Jets. Fort Max has Beasts and Metroplex has Sharks. I had a couple of ideas for Scorponok: The variants of FoC Bruticus or the variants of Car Robots Gigatron. But I've decided to call it a day and not spend out on any new sets. So I've decided on either my existing MP collection or my BFS Bucky O' Hare figures.

Pics should be ready to go by the end of the week!

A veritable air-force of Decepticon Jets:

Rex and Rule!

Some g2 bots (or they will be when get some 3d printed add ons :p) and my first machine robots (space shuttle has some worrying parts that double hinges would have solved but liking the orange guy and I think he goes well with Scorponok)

Not quite on my desk yet...

Kinda annoying that it is easier to get a selects exclusive Cone head over a retail Cone head (I won't mention sandstorm seeing as indemand doesn't - or gives it expected release dates of a month they are in the second to the last of...).


The cardboard inside is new but I'm not sure if it's a good thing with ramjet guns kinda being jammed in there. Looking forward to having both these guys out and it will be my first jet mode seeker from Wfc (even if it shouldn't have been, curse you Hasbros!). I'm not as tempted to cut the chest/cockpit covering bit off as I thought I would be but I've just looked at ramjet from the side and I'm thinking it has to go.

Transmutate is kinda giving off the vibes of screaming "friend" and "killl me" at the same time. Nice.

Wingfinger, promised carved in stone, deeper than the sea. Wingfinger, Sever flesh and bone and offer it to me.

He looks great from the sides just not many other angles.

To combine or not to combine, that is the question.

Throw a little hot rod red in there…

These two! I this is my favorite version of Blurr and I love Stepper despite the mold not being the best.

That Sentinel is purrty!

Meanwhile, another previously unknown redeco variant to an old favourite...





This time, Autobot Scavenger!

MP Blackarachnia!
