I got a PCC stocking stuffer for Christmas, it was Icepick, pretty cool little dude for $4.00.

What made them so bad was they had so much potential. The minicons acting as weapons and chest pieces made me think of Breastforce a bit.

The downside is the drones. The drones were horrible. I mean in the concept of imagination, someone's imagination was truly warped.

Did you not learn form the E-Combiners? Make a hand, fist and feet because that's how a robot should have to fight with.

Also I have lost my zing for Grimstone, Steamhammer is the winner with Heavy Tread right up there with him.

I really agree with Couterpunch, especially with the minions and similarities to Energon prime. They disappointed me when they first came out since I wanted combiners that didn't have just drones, but 5 combining Transformers, although I do appreciate some such as steamhamer and Grimstone. Also, Sledge with the constructions, plus 5 minions looks awesome. 8)

the lack of proper hands and feet was particularly disappointing as there was no messing about with robot modes, and they didn't try to make the drones interchangeable. an arm is and arm, and a leg is a leg. So why do they fail to convince me?

the 2 packs are great though, I have the 2 pack Decepticons facing off against my Human Alliance basics in a Saturday morning cartoon that never was.

I absolutely love the PCC line, and have done (from afar, as I have no money) since they first came out. The only one I own is Icepick with Chainclaw, and apart from the fact that I already own G1 Chainclaw and duplicate names annoy me, I am extremely happy with him. Hopefully I'll still get a chance to take advantage of sale prices and snap up a few more; although I've recently discovered a hitherto uknown liking of the movie figures, so I might be concentrating my resources on them.

You know, they came back with a vengeance.


After stating that I only had and wanted the Destron and Combaticon sets, I bought Grimstone and Steamhammer, sold both again. Bought Undertow and Skyhammer, then sold both.

Just acquired Overrun, Smolder (these two are keepers) and contemplating Icepick and the Destructicons (don't really care for Mudslinger, just for the drones).


Also, TFC's Iron Army is designed for the PCC sets, so they definitely surprised someone!

I got Heavytread and Groundspike cheap in a toystore last week. It surprised me that later waves even showed up here, since we've only seen a restock of wave 1 2-packs around here.

Heavytread is awesome. A great figure, even without the gimmick. I recommend him if you can find him.

Both Skyhammer and Heavytread, who have never seen release in the Netherlands, have shown up here as cheap overstock. Caught me by surprise, literally. Of course I snapped up both, and hoping for Undertow and Salvage. Maybe later we can expect new 5-packs overstock? I need Double Clutch (even with his problems), Mudslinger, Grimstone (especially him) and Over-Run :PRAY:

Speaking of "problems", Wave 2 seems to have a suspicious amount. Double Clutch himself, Mudslinger's thighs, and now Leadfoot's shoulders. I broke off the shoulder joints clear of their hinges. Is that a common problem with him?
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.).

Can't say about Leadfoot, but I can check with Overrun as soon as he arrives.
