The jet looks a lot like an f22, the Helicopter looks like a female G 1ified Blackout (all the copter kibble in bot-mode is in similar places in the bot-mode like Movie Blackout) and the tank guy's alt-mode is the same as Movie Brawl's including the claws.
Pretty neat.
Honestly I think you're looking for a homage where there is none. I mean there's a difference between paying homage to something and taking a couple of design cues. Surely there's only so much you can do when you're trying to turn a robot into a jet, a tank, or a helicopter. While I would say Movie Brawl is probably the best comparison to Heavytread, I also see the recent Legends Megatron in there. I would also have to say Runway reminds me more of PRIME Dreadwing/Skyquake, while Windsheer of Energon/Universe/RoTF Vortex/Swindle.
Regardless, I love the look of these guys. I don't see a single mode that I could accuse of not being perfect given the sizes they're working with. I would honestly not have a problem if Hasbro wanted to turn this into a 'thing'. The more the merrier.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

Well, to be fair, they have Minicon sigils on them, not Ammonite, so its,ore accurate to say they wete recycled into the comics as Ammonites than to say tbey are Ammonites, bit regardless, they're canon
Yhose Minicons are HUGE for Minicons but i like 'em
