Energon Net

Energon Nets are technology from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Player used Energon Net! It's not very effective!

In the rare event that a Transformer's capture is required, there are a number of non-lethal means to carry out this task. One of these is the Energon Net, a glowing blue grid of energon that engulfs and theoretically captures the prey. We specify "theoretically", because Energon Nets are only slightly more effective that throwing a sheet of tissue paper over the target. Seriously, the number of times these things work is vastly outbalanced by the number of times they've failed and the target mech has skipped away, giggling and singing "nyah nyah!"

Hey, if you want results, invest in some Energon Chains.

Transformers Legends

When you think about it, a gun that shoots nets made from the vital bodily fluid that is also used as a means of currency among Cybertronians is like something David Cronenberg would come up with.

Hunting groups often carried a large number of Energon Nets with which to attempt to capture their quarry. Energon Nets could also be fired from an Energon Net Gun, though this probably didn't improve their effectiveness. Transformers Legends

Notes

• Energon Nets are one of the mechanisms in Transformers Legends by which the player can obtain new cards.
  • They mostly serve to frustrate players into paying actual money for the upgraded Energon Chains.
