they're not the same colours, but the names and alt mode designs are all very similar to PCCs.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

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.

Noooooooo, if you do not agree with me you are WRONG! :P

They do look like homages, but I agree these are likely just coincidences, would be really random and out of left field if these where intended to be homages. It was just something I noticed while tiered and still euphoric about the pics. :lol:

Wait wait wait... Those are MINICONS?! Color me impressed. Minicons sure came a long way since the Armada days. Also, I'm not a fan of combiners but I may just buy this set when it will come out. It's just... beautiful all over!
Come see my latest creation, the COMPLETE combiner team, Scorponok and his Pretenders, forming SHELLSHOCK

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


I think that was marketing trying not to confuse the kids by bringing in yet another faction.

Since I first saw these 3, I knew they would fulfil the role of Ammonites in my collection. Definitely gonna get a couple packs, but hope that they do some other colour schemes of these guys.
