The tanks are VERY interesting. I agree that the "port" in question does look like a PCC, the insignia appear to be on the chests of robot modes. Perhaps a transforming PCC limbs would sell. Plus, I love Transformers with antique alt. modes. More info please and thank you.
That's pretty much the deal breaker with those of us not overly fond of PCC's. The fact that the drones don't transform kind of messes with the whole concept of naming them "Transformers". Some of the Commander 2 packs interest me and I still may yet purchase Huffer but I just can't seem to justify picking up the other Commanders. I don't want to have a figure with a function that will just be wasted since I won't be buying any of the 5 packs. My one exception is the Dinobot's PCC but that is going to look foolish having anything other than it's original components combined with it.
If these tanks are more like Gestalt units, I'll be seriously tempted to get them even if I don't go for the other pieces that may possibly follow just because these are some very sweet looking tanks.

I do hope you're just confusing the Iron Cross with the swastika. The swastika would be in terrible taste, but the Iron Cross is just a German military decoration, much like the Congressional Medal of Honour. It was first created back in the 19th century, so did not have anything to do with the Nazis. There shouldn't be a problem with its use.

I'm aware of its pre-WWII history, and I'm aware it's still used today in the military, and no I'm definitely not confusing it with the swastika. As a military decoration, the Iron Cross is no longer awarded.

The tanks are clearly from the WWII era, so why do you find it to be in bad taste? Do you just have an issue with Germany as a nation?

First of all, I wasn't complaining about the tanks. Second, you pretty much know the answer to your first question. Third, I don't have any problems with Germany.

I REALLY don't know why you "strongly disapprove" of its use as you haven't actually said. And I don't know you, so I wouldn't be aware of any personal reasons that would make you take issue with it. I'm not trying to turn this into a huge 'fight for the honour of a nation' argument. You have simply made a fairly powerful statement, and I'd like to respectfully know your reasons as it may change my opinion.

Here's an idea, agree that PCC sucks and only a monumental 3rd party creation could possibly save them!!! See? Now everyone gets along!!
