The fact that the rotors can be removed make this a much better toy IMO.

I know there have only been a handful of the PCC announced but, I see a lot of fun combinations that could come out of this series.

Helicopters tend to be my favourite figures. Can't wait for this to be released

This one has a remarkably ingenious overall transform. It's rare that you see an asymmetrical transform out of a symmetrical vehicle mode like this, and his torso mode is tons better (IMHO) than Bombshock's.
Me, I'm hoping they release some "drone booster packs", so all the PCC's I end up getting can have their own combiner modes, and I won't have to get several of each of the drone plus torso sets.

Whatever pics have been shown before do NOT do this figure justice. This video review does. I'm loving how this guy looks, and I agree, he needs to be repainted into Twin Spin or Breez(the Wendy's GoBot mentioned).
He's definitely on my list now, and I find it funny that his transformation is much more complex than Bombshock.

Okay, I did NOT know that the limbs all have spring loaded/auto-morph type transformations. As ugly as they all are, that's pretty sweet.
I think I want this guy, but I'm not sure how I can pass him off in my collection...Classics Whirl? But then, these guys are cheap enough I might not need to really justify it.
A couple things that I'm not really caring for - I wish the combiner nubs could fold away somehow, or something...but I guess that would compromise the sturdiness of the combined mode. Maybe if they were a neutral gray or something instead of 'Allspark Blue'.
Also, I wish they hadn't gone for transparent plastic for the Minicons. In small doses transparent plastic is okay, even awesome, but entire figures just come off looking cheap to me.
I do like the idea of targetmaster-type figures that can also function as armor though.
