The more I see of these Power Core Combiners the more I want them. This is looking better and better with every one I see. Also, with some clever paint application, that Huffer could pass with a Movie Prime paint job. THEN he'll be in scale with Bonecrusher and Blackout! 
EDIT: Actually, looking at him, and the head for the combined form, he'd make a better repaint as Motormaster! That would be awesome! Woefully small, but awesome!

Why does his combined mode head look like Unicron's and ROTF Arcee's lovechild?

Hmmmm...while I like the idea kinda, it's not movie-ish enough and it's too out of scale, will be passing these....but they still are cool.

I have been looking forward to this figure pretty much just to get a classics Huffer, I will probably still get it, but it looking disappointing. Paint apps will help, but I am surprised with the lack of feet, I had hoped it was just camera angle and mistransformation in earlier pics, but it seems PCC Huffer shops in the same shoe store as G1 Astrotrain.
I doubt I will ever get any limbs, so the bright blue plugs will get painted over or cut off, and that translucent minicon will either be painted black and gunmetal or retired altogether.

Hmm. No feet. That's odd. And a G1-ish combiner head, which is kinda cool I guess. Well, another 'maybe' for the PCC line...

From the colour-mapping to the visor/shades, this is pure G1 Huffer. Add an epic little mini-con and I'm more than sold.
Plus, that combiner head is chin-tastic!

While I consider these PCC to be bought on sight, there is one problem that continues to vex me. Where exactly do these guys fit in? Classics/Generations? Movieverse? Or something new and separate altogether?
As it is I have no idea what shelf to make room on for them.

Love. I still want 75 repaints of the PCC Minicons. In every shade ever. And some chromed ones. C'mon TakaraTomy, you know you want to feed my addiction. I'll give you $30 for a Neon Green Chromed Caliburst. Do it.

This was the only PCC I was planning on getting to throw in with my Classics and still definitely getting him.
Huffer, Drift and Thrust are the only planed purchases for me of the new releases we've seen.
Not including aftermaret companies. Got enough pre orders from FP and PE to keep me broke for a while.

Given that Caliburst transforms into his chest piece, I believe that his robot mode head will be hidden nicely from view.

Ooooh, can't wait to get him soon!
His power-up head looks somehow Menasor-ish... with a smile? So Huffer's power-up mode has a reversed personality?
Hmmm... seems only his right arm can hold Caliburst. No biggie.

Hoist, Long Arm, Tow Line, Hauler, or just make one up. But if you already got Botcon Huffer (ya' lucky bastid) and you wanna give this guy a new name, I suggest giving him one that's not got a new toy yet.

Limited really. There`s going to be little or no action until Takara gets their hands on these guys. Then the hypothetical beaver dam is going to explode and we're going to see some mad repaints circa X-Dimension, Linkage, Micron Legend.

I still don't know what everyone sees in this line it looks to be more geared toward the kids rather than collectors but that's just. I like Huffer though I don't care for the vehicle mode again it looks too kiddish for my taste though I'll still get Huffer but I'd rather wait and see what Takara dishes out for us if they do that is.

I'd better have a job by the time these are out, it's looking hard to chose.

Smolder's combiner head mold is the only head of any figure from PCC that looks half way decent. Huffer's combiner head mold is laughable.

I'd be down for some neon green action. For whatever reason, translucent Mini-Cons just click with me. I don't really care for them otherwise. Backwind looks awesome as all get out to me. I'm really interested to see what kinda repaint fun and mix and match madness is possible for future releases.
Limited really. There`s going to be little or no action until Takara gets their hands on these guys. Then the hypothetical beaver dam is going to explode and we're going to see some mad repaints circa X-Dimension, Linkage, Micron Legend.
X-dimension? I have yet to find those, anywho, I smell win from your brain. Are you perhaps... a mind blowing genious ?
When it comes to anything to do with Transformers Mini-cons, I'm the damn prodigy.
Well, I'm going to save this for some time in the future when it will be extra funny.
It is now the Mini-Con prodigy's duty to sex up the fandom when I'm too busy to do so.

Seconded on the pictures, these figures look better and better every time I see a picture of them. I am looking forward to them.

I can't really compare to you though. You're in the room and Armada Sureshock and Cliffjumper drop their pants.

Yeah, I understand that but it seems after every couple series of Transformers the toys seem to become worse and that's why I said they're kiddish. I mean come on it's 2010 now they should be able to do way better than this.

I also like these. I want these. Especially Smoulder. I hope he appears in animated media voiced by Dennis Bateman. This would complete the deal for me.
I'd better have a job by the time these are out, it's looking hard to chose.

That's real funny. Thanks for that, it really did make me laugh.

For whatever reason my follow up to this never posted. The last sentence really pertains to the PCC line in general. I wasn't clear there. Also, shhhh Takara will hear you. Although, for THESE Mini-Cons, I might actually buy into that.

Oh, of course it's not a bad thing, Machine Wars was awesome
On a side note though, I realized I really like the placement of the underarm gun - it's reminiscent of the G1 toy with its (albeit reversed) smokestack arms.
The other ones are nice too, especially Searchlight =o

That's not a bad thing! I love that little guy. I've been trying to find a cheap WreckerHook for a while now.

Here are some pics I took comparing PCCs with other figures.
Hope they answer some questions....
Here is smolder exchanging axes with Botcon Fallback.
Chopster in gun mode attached to the Minicon port on Armada Deluxe Optimus Prime.
Smoulder holding Over-Run in gun mode.
Armada Deluxe Optimus Prime holding Chopster. (Hopefully Chopster can be used with WFC Optimus too, so he will have an axe.)
As you can see, PCC Minicons are compatible with other figures and PCC Bots can hold other weapons without problem.
The only incompatible part is with the Energon combiners.
Here is a size comparison with TFCC Heatwave. Heatwave, being a Deluxe figure, is larger than the PCC torso bot.
The combination ports are also of different shape. Heatwave's are octagonal in shape, whereas PCC combiner ports are squarish.
Here is a size comparison with TFCC Terradive, who transforms into one of the limbs. Clearly, he is too large to be paired up with Huffer. Even if they could combine, it wouldn't look good anyway.

This really makes the PCC line make sense. Huffer and Searchlight, sick of being two of the smallest Autobots go and fashion some earth vehicles into limbs, steal some Minicons and change Alt modes, and now they're the same height as the other 'Bots. PCC limbs: Elevator shoes for Minibots and Throttlebots.
