right now towline seems more appealing to me than snowcat, which i already have and is the only one i'm not really happy with.

 

the only thing i don't get is that hasbro can use the ironhide and ratchet names, i'm assuming, so why, i mean WHY! did they have to slap him with a silly paintjob and goofy name.

Arcee, Cliffjumper, Shockwave, Slugslinger and yes, Towline.

 

Towline is an ok name, for a towtruck, but not a TV news van. And just what the f@#% is up with that anyway? This really opens the door for an annoying reporter type TF. First Wheelie, now the Auto-Papparazzi. We dont need it!

 

I like Towlines toy though. The little tank thingie was my fave thing about Ironhide/Ratchet but the bot mode blew. This fixes all that. But they shoulda named him Ratchet or Autobot Ratchet, who cares? And instead of a TV van or an ambulance how about a power/lite maintenance van? That'd make more sense. And just forgetting about that so-called 'griffin' mode. Blech.

 

As for Ironhide, there already is an Ironhide in Energon. Besides, Ironhide was modeled after a personal use van, not an obviously commercial/municipal rig like this.

I would like Insecticon, Arcee, Shockblast, and Downshift. I'll wait until I see Tow-line, but I will probably get him.

Bulkhead to go with the land mine I plan to get.

 

I like this part of the energon series where the robot power link into them selves.

 

It is as iff the extra parts work as a booster armor of some sort. Looks great.

 

Bulkheads booster set actually give his copter mode legs for some kind of walker vehical.

 

I found the pics, and Ill post them soon.

Here's bulkhead:

Like anything else the other pics I found could not be found again. Luckly I ran into this pic of the back package thanks to TFormers.com

well, G1's Teletran 1, Silverstreak et all was none other than Radio's "Casey Casen" (hope that's spelt right).

 

For those baffeled, he was a top USA radio Dj/Radio Newscaster and also supplied voices for oooooodddllessss of famous cartoon characters, including Shaggy, from Scooby-Do.

 

Also,as Kup once said: "And now the news, don't touch that dial!".

 

You talk TV?

 

PS: I think I remember that Allsparks continually failing to load "battle Protocol" lists one of the Combaticons as a Journalist....

Here are the other Bulkhead pics:

I want all of them. So far none of the upcoming Energon figures really suck. Towline's probably the weakest-looking one, but he seems better to look at than Snowcat. Besides, some toys tend to grow on you after you get them.

Currently I am looking forward to everything except Tow Line, Energon Ironhide, and Energon Hot Shot.

I have:

Hotshot, Inferno, Strongarm, Starsabre, Divebomb

 

Am waiting on (ordered or shipping)

SL Galvatron, Ironhide, Rodimus, Starscream, STD Convoy/Kicker, Skyblast, Battle Ravage, Perceptor,

 

Still want:

Scorponok, Mirage, Slugslinger, Shockblast, Arcee, Signal Flare, Insecticon, Cruellock,

 

Might get:

Landmine, Demolisher (new mold), SL Demolisher (repaint), SL Cyclonus (repaint), Marine Divebomb, Prowl, Omega Supreme, Snow Cat,

 

Probably not getting:

Offshoot, Strongarm repaint, Hotshot repaint, Super Prime, Jetfire, Cliffjumper, Bulkhead, Desert Battle Ravage, Treadbolt, E Unicron, Rapid Run,

Am still looking for Arcee and am really interested in Shockblast :tfevil
