What does Energon taste like?

Just like Orange Cream and amazingness.

Thanks for the update(s) guys, really appreciate it!

I shall be spending some $$$ in the gift shop!!

 

[JungleSkip]

FYI, I got wind about some good news for the shop.

What we see isn't the final size. Apparently.

 

[Shadow Carelli]

All Spark!

If you don't mind me asking, what does it do? Or is it just a model replica? :drool:

 

[SpatulaShack]

Any word on the official location of the ride in terms of theming and map placement? Will the attraction be labeled as being in New York or Production Central?

 

[Honor_Knight]

Rumor has it the Transformers walk around characters will be making an appearance in the park today. FYI...

From @Attractions

Optimus Prime is currently meeting guests outside Transformers @UniversalORL.

Bumblebee is now greeting guests. They are switching out every 20 minutes.

@Attractions also posted a video and pics of the Supply Vault......

The Transformers Supply Vault gift shop is open this morning.

A look inside the Supply Vault.

A look at some of the merchandise available at the Supply Vault.

Additionally, @OrlandoInformer posted an update covering the Supply Vault and construction.....

The Supply Vault is open! Today is the first official day of business.

I got over 50 high res pics and a complete HD video walkthrough. Here's one more shot for now...

Work continues at what seems like a feverish pace on the front of [HASHTAG]#Transformers[/HASHTAG] @UniversalORL

Big group gathered now to see the [HASHTAG]#Transformers[/HASHTAG] characters at @UniversalORL

By the way, no Energon yet in the Supply Vault [HASHTAG]#Transformers[/HASHTAG] @UniversalORL. That's a disappointment.

I already have so much media to upload I can't stick around for the [HASHTAG]#Transformers[/HASHTAG] characters. Maybe next time!

Behind the Thrills also posted some photos of the characters, as well as a photo gallery of the Supply Vault.

This walk around character of optimus prime is huge!

All of the staff around transformers are dressed as N.E.S.T. soldiers. Great theming @universalorl

That Block is production central

 

[Teebin]

Is there a door that exits from the ride into the store. Is there a sealed up wall somewhere in there?

 

[DK745]

Those Transformers walking around are worthless since they aren't in their original packaging

They look great though, and I can't believe the store is already open :jaw: The speed at which everything is coming along is absolutely astounding.

I believe so.

I was told "It will be bigger."

Great thanks for the info

Kodos to you, what a way to intruduce yourself " first post "

 

[wreck]

:doh: The reason I thought it was chocolate was because in USH, they sell a milk chocolate all spark. Got confused.

I hope USF will have them in chocolate as well
that and some Energon = Chocolate break apart Orange

Thank you, kind sir. Been lurking around here for a while now. Thought it might be a good way to break the ice.
