I forgot the Energon Monsters were even supposed to be a thing tbh.
Same here, thou I wonder why exactly they abandoned their plans for the line gimmick, I mean these weapons they were doing with the first wave all meant to connect in different forms I believe thou something clearly changed during the process
I had wondered when the name was announced if we'd see core-class figures of the old Pretenders and Energon Monsters would be some deluxe-ish scale shells, to split the costs up. As it is, that obviously didn't happen, so my only two Pretenders I have are the Optimus and Megatron ones from the TFSS.
I bet they would have also been made entirely of transluscent plastic to match with the energon-infused weapons thing too.
Wouldn't be surprised if that's why the concept got scrapped.

Maybe that was supposed to be the real spoiler in the Kingdom Spoiler Pack.
I know that the designers have made comments that make it clear that Hasbro got wind that fans are nervous about buying figures with too much translucent plastic, especially at hinges, so I wonder if someone up the chain decided that the Energon Monsters wouldn't sell well and pulled the plug?
The whole meta-fiction for the early part of the line was energon focused; they stated it was the reason they went with Cyb Metroplex, becuase he's able to mine energon. But it seems that between the Energon Monsters and Netflix series being scrapped, the line lost whatever fiction narative it had.
This is why we need proper toy bios.
That, and, character descriptions have been a part of the brand identity since the very beginning.
can't do that having to write them in 50 languages means they'll have to be one sentence
damn multilingualism, why can't we all just speak latin like god intended

*mumbles in mud and rock*
Maybe whoever takesup the comic license will do a new book of character bios. Or maybe just throw a few in at the end of a comic.
Maybe the real Energon Monsters were the Weaponizers/Fossilizers we made along the way.
Anyway, I honestly wouldn't mind a new toy-based book. Maybe not quite to SUCH a degree as Marvel G1 had to rotate things, but enough to kind of give us a feel for things and see our new toys in print, you know?

I am entirely too lethargic to be an energon monster.
Blame the tower of Babal, it was the cause of humanty unable to speak the same language according to the Bible!!
The bible was also created and constantly edited by an organization pretty much bent on oppressing the population. God didn't curse humans with multiple languages, the owners of the tower of babel did, and it was strictly so folks couldn't unionize.
