While I am happy that they've taken this fella down the route of The Fallen, I do agree that it needs a little something else. Just painting on the orange is far too bland. I'd be willing to pay more to get some clear orange plastic in all those highlight spots. It'd be really awesome if they could get a series of LEDs in there. Hell, maybe even some metallic paint to offset the matte black would do the trick. It's a great design, just please don't let the colours bring it down.

If the price and my budget work out, then I'll get this guy for my Classics set.

There are so many quality figures coming out in the next few months that I just cannot get excited about this guy.

This figure was always meant to be "The Fallen". go to their website and look at the gray protos and compare that to the Dreamwave version of theis character from the War Within Volume 2 Comics. Same bot. The camo colors are actually just a test shot to show off the PCC stuff. I do agree the paint is lacking slightly and clear orange in the spots where it is painted orange would be a very cool idea. Still a purchase for me.

Yeah... I see the resemblance. It's just there's so much mid-20th century weaponry on this guy that a non-military color scheme seems out of place. The figure is cool and all, but there seems to be a lot of contradictory themes going on with him. Granted, I like it & I'll buy it... it just doesn't seem to make much sense: Fallen, PCC, Black & Orange or Camo... 2 tanks, one figure... miniguns... I don't get it (not that that's required for it to be a cool toy).

Wow, Mobine makes these Powercore Combiners so much more desirable. Kinda regret that I won't be getting this now, but I'm not up to hunting them all down and then trying to justify a Classics spot on my shelf for them.

Even so though... wow!

So we have to buy both to create their Fallen figure?

Nah, they just come in different colors to match certain Powercore figures.

But no "Fallen" product being listed at this time? Jungle/Marine doesn't seem to be doing it.

This may be the first ever Third Party product I'll buy.
I love me some PCC stuff, and this guy also works by himself!

Ooo, I'm liking the marine colors. Were we shown those before?

All right, I am going to pre-order one of these, since they do appear identical mold-wise.

Just a heads up that this appears to only be the first half of Mobine - the PCC accessory half. I suspect the 2nd half will appear soon so that the two can combine to make the Fallen-esque large robot.

Since we're getting non-Fallen colors now, a fiver says we'll see the fallen colors in a two-pack.

I agree with your talking money

They do look good, but how many times do MkeToys want us to cough up for this mold before we get the colours I imagine most of us want?

How ever many times they can to fit all repaints of that mold until this one is released .

No point in having it in those colors until that figure arrives.

Whoah! So it's two vehicles, one's a little dude, the other attaches to other little dudes to make them medium/big dudes, but put them together and you've got a bigger badder dude?!

I am soooooo tempted.

Ok, where's the preorder?!? That's pretty badass.

My opinion on this would have been influenced much more had I known the other half was a separate figure all together. Nifty little surprise!

Now to search for a reason to justify the purchase... *begins scrounging up pennies just in case.*

Paladin/Chaos will be sold together. The Missile Launcher (Jungler/Marine Types) is currently on pre-order. This is definitely a treat for those who have and are collecting the PCC commanders.

So is the other guy supposed to be Megatronus before he fell? If so, that's awesome.

The PCC Commander type is probably called Paladin, while the combined mode is Chaos (Fallen).
