Did Power Core Combiners surprise anyone else?

Postby Emperor Galvatron » Thu Dec 15, 2011 11:42 am

Weapon: Fusion Cannon
I've acquired a few with the sales going on and all, and was amazed at how nice some of them are. (Some are complete shit, but what are you gonna do?) I was just picking them up for the nice minicon partners (Bomb-Burst, Waterlog and Pinpoint are WIN!!).

I am very impressed by Steamhammer and Sledge. Thought I would hate Sledge, but he has become a favorite. I dislike Salvage and Grimstone is horrid. If I hadn't gotten the wonderful Undertow as a bonus figure with him, I'd be really pissed about him.
Currently have purchased Leadfoot, Huffer, Smolder, Steamhammer, Grimstone, Sledge, Undertow, Salvage, Bombshock, Skyburst and Over-Run/Spastic(sealed) (who I am willing to trade straight up for Heavytread).

Which PCC figures are you guys taking a liking to after the sales and all?

I got Smolder because the package got mangled somehow and he was reduced to about £3.00. I picked up Leadfoot just for the Mini-con and found a way to turn him into a sort of Classics Slapdash. If Hasbro were smart enough to release those Mini-cons as a box-set they'd get more of my money for sure.

Is Hasbro really that smart? there decisions for the most part are related entirely to creaming as much money as possible whilst over packaging all of there toys so much they are impossible for any child to open without destroying the box.

I actually bought some in a bulk lot on EBay and was very surprised to discover they all have two heads? whats that about?

I like the idea but this could have been designed a little better perhaps also i resent the Drone idea it makes no sense.

I had leadfoot, slege and icepick.

Didn't you know? Every PCC figure, even the ones with Mini-Cons, has a robot mode and a torso mode for the drones to attach to. Didn't the blue connectors tip you off to that?
Top 5 Priorities:

1) BW Neo X-7 Elphaorpha
2) BW II VS-18 Powerhug vs. Autocrusher
3) Universe 2003 Night Slash Cheetor
4) RiD Landfill (regular, not the yellow)
5) BW Convobat (red) & Megalligator (purple)

Also looking for any clear Arms Microns, like Shadow (Gora & R.A.), Hellflame and Shining (O.P. and R.A.).

So no?

By the way I did realise today about the PCC being able to do that I must say its a nice idea reminds me of pretenders from the 80s.

The names are also very good as well and fit the figures perfectly.

Let me put it this way. The Mini-Cons are gang-molded with their partners, meaning when the Mini-Con is made, parts of the other figure are too. That make it rather costly to make packs with other Mini-Cons, as parts of the "bulk" need to be discarded.

TakaraTomy has no problem with that though, look at the Targetmaster Microns ;)

Forgive me. I live in a town in decline which happens to home Hasbro's distribution centre. They've provided work for me but the distribution is actually awful. Sorry if I sound bitter but there it is, I mean nobody any disrespect.
