TECH: Transforming Energy Cube Harvesters

Posted on 01-26-2013 at 06:53 PM by process under 3rd Party Unlicensed

TFW contributor Protoman has tweeted a photo of a new accessory scaled for Masterpiece figures. This is allegedly the first in a line of weapons that will transform into energy cubes. We do not yet have any information about who is producing this item, so stay tuned for updates.

Note that this is an unofficial accessory meant to further your Transformers play value.

At first I thought ick but then I realized it turned into a cube, so not bad overall.

deaculpa

I'm confused.

It looks kind of like a giant foam "We're #1" finger. At least it turns into a cube...I guess.

Jehsee

lol... what IS that? I really don't need a translucent Empire State Building strapped to my MP Prime.

Vangelus

If the theme is weapons-that-turn-into-cubes I'm very interested, I love transforming toy lines that add the limitation of everything turning into the same geometric shape (ie: Candroid animals all turning into cylinders)

Easy pass

Theprimeoflegen

If they turn to energon cubes wouldnt they explode if they were used ?

Cyclonus79

Crap = pass

And if they're sized similar to the cube you get with MP Soundwave

Oh maaaaaaaan

Bountyan

I think I'd actually prefer if these were for classics instead of MP.

Shadowbreaker

I'm interested. Bring it on!

UltraPrimal

This feels so 2008: back when every other third party company was making energon cube accessories. Or perhaps 2004 if Hasbro took the title of "Transformers Energon" in a very literally direction with the toys.

It's a new concept with a splash of Superlink's Energon weapons

and how compact they fold up…if they can fit inside the mp-13 energon cubes that's a win.

Galvarez

This is why you don't release images of unfinished products. Because that looks like a dogs dick.

harrismonkey

the whole point of MP is that it's supposed to be super detailed with limited, more tasteful gimmicks.

These look to be about on par with the Prid voyager weapons. Wow.

ThatOddGuy

Welp, didn't see that coming.

Part of the reason why I think these would be better for classics instead of MP.

down_shift

This sounds... just awful.

...........How would you know how that looks?

Jigga

Not really into blocky energon weapons. If it transform rather it be humanoid like a targetmaster or at least like the Arms Micron weapons, changes into robot or beast.

starscream-99

With all the things coming out this would have to be under $15 for me to want to get this. If they're more oh well. MPs come with good enough accessories as it is.

Wyvern

Lol. What the hell is this? MP figures don't need stuff like that.

StayingInTheBox

Alright. Im not sure what Im looking at.

soymonk

So... they're the weapon equivalent to Rock Lords?

Atomatron

can not unsee

Yup, bad choice of line.

BScorpinok75

I don't collect MP but if I did I think I'd actually be interested in these

llamatron

Interesting concept but terrible terrible terrible choice of figures/line to scale with.

grimlock1972

if the price is right i may get one for my mp skywarp

G1Jetfire

Megatron's Mace and Optimus Prime's Axe are Energon weapons that already exist in the original MP line. If that is what they are going for with these, it's intriguing. But what they are showing is less intriguing,

b.winn1

Ill probley pick them up I mean I bought energon cubes that turn into nothing why would I not but ones thay turn into something lol.

RedAlert Rescue

It might be more interesting if it was decorated like the Allspark.

They you could call it a"Power of the Allspark weapon".

Vampyr

ho hasbro, look, a good weapon concept....you should try you know
