Not that I have any problem repurposing figures, but Hasbro could make these buying decisions so much easier for me by explicitly naming these guys after appropriate G1/G2 counterparts.

I was actually thinking along the lines of Armada Cyclonus...but I'd have to see a lot closer to be sure on that...
I'm actually impressed with these...very impressed. More money gone...

See, this is exactly what I like about this line. Hasbro are creating a bunch of NEW characters instead of retreading the same old ground that has been covered a bajillion times before.

I think they both look great, although I don't like Groundspike or Airlift.

That's exactly what I did w/ Huffer. Fits in nicely w/ my Classics collection. And I did paint those neon blue tabs black, which is what Hasbro should have done in the first place. Why a blue that practically glows in the dark

I like groundspike because he's a melee weapon and seems fairly functional and thought out as a vehicle weapon. Airlift looks like a tougher Chopster/Razorbeam and no discernible difference between his robot weapon and vehicle weapon modes.
I can't wait for more 2-packs. PLEASE make more 2-packs Hasbro! (Not Repaints!)

Be nice to have him to throw in with ROTF Beachcomber, PCC Huffer, HFTD Hubcap, and HFTD Windcharger. Given, they'll all look out of place with deluxe Bumblebee & Cliffjumper and a voyager-class Seaspray standing nearby, but it would still be neat.

Obviously, being Seibertron's only PCC fanboy, these two are definate buys. I can only hope the third guy is just as good looking as these two are.

You're not the only one. I like them as well, just am not pleased with the Quality Control issues.

True, QC has been an issue, but the 2-packs are the better of the two types of PCC. This knowledge increases my joy on these two guys. I am curious why theres only two shown, since every other wave consists of three 2-packs and two 5-packs.
Oh well, if there's a third guy, I'll be even happier. if it's only two, my wallet will be happy.

TThough arguably, all of those G1 tanks were limited to the same basic tranformations. Plus, thr ecout class is too small to match up to the other COmbaticons we've gotten so far. (Onslaught, Swindle)
That's exactly what I was thinking. All I need now is a Tomahawk and a universe Countdown and I'll have all the "new" Wreckers! I am already working on Ironfist.

The Galleries are in the works, but they're not a main priority. It may seem professional, but the site is still a hobby and Seibertron has a family and a job outside of it.

Ya, 'cause we really can get galleries up of PCCs that have yet to be released. Look, you ain't going to get the galleries up any faster unless you ship me Generations Blurr or an Animated Arcee. If you're not, just sit back and enjoy the site like the rest of us. Also Seibertron isn't biased towards PCC. For me, yeah I think they're plastic best used to build something else, but I'll still buy them for the fun of it. Ryan on the other hand, I just don't think he cares in general, there's the rest of the 2010 Transformers toys that need lovin'.
Sky-Quake wrote:please tell me they're both cons this line needs more Decepticons
I was originally thinking the plane was an Autobot but there's a Decepticon symbol on his robot mode. Got nothing on the Tank but I'm sure he's a 'con as well.

I'm not even sure what you're trying to say due to your awful grammar, but I'm pretty sure it's not worth trying to understand.

the wave 1 and 2 Minicons that I have are solid, but somebody on here mentioned the head of his Caliburst breaking off.
I've transformed mine several times into each mode without problem though, so unless the quality drops, groundspike and Airlift should be good to go.

Posted by Dr. Caelus on September 23rd, 2010 @ 3:34pm CDT
It occurs to me that the worst thing about the PCC minicons is also the best. They have no immediately recognizable alternate modes, most of their transformations seem to equate to assuming a yoga pose vaguely representative of something (like when some of us use to try and pretend we were transformers as children), but this means that even the most scale-obsessed fan can have them standing next to their bulk partners without the aneurysm inducing inconsistency of seeing a race car TF carrying a crossbow made out of a nuclear submarine.

Ah ok thanks, though as of yet I've only been into movie stuff, if I ever go outside of that, the Tank guy looks very awesome.
