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

But now I'm torn which is the "real" toy. I don't think they sexied it up with The price doesn't surprise me, but with that timing I'm wondering why
(A) other retails don't have this option yet and;
(B) the other colors don't have their core bots for preorder?
Hasbro's over-gimmicked PCC to death. I may have never considered the WWII combiners, but I had been crying about something like Mobine (admittedly not nearly this versatile) the whole time.

I'm sure other retailers will eventually have Paladin/Chaos up for pre-order. As for the "core" bots, I think the plan is for the Jungle/Marine versions to just be add-ons for the PCC commanders. Having Paladin/Chaos to just be sold together. Personally, I don't want to have another core for the Mobine Missile Launchers. I want the fallen to be just the Fallen.

Jungle and Marine are just redecos of the missile launcher section, the PCC limb parts.
Paladin is the other section, with the big guns, which doesn't partsform (as far as I can tell) and is just a self contained PCC commander.

NOS wrote:Just pure speculation here, but... I wonder if Maketoys will consider making different molds for the core bot of Jungle and Marine. Not that they'd really need to in order to sell them as there are plenty of PCC figures out there. Still, wouldn't be a bad idea for them to pursue.

I'm pretty sure there were pictures of Chaos fully in the jungle deco, but that was a long while ago so it might have just been part of testing. (also I don't think fans took it well). My own speculation is that while the Mobine sets are sellable to anybody with PCC now, the matching commanders doesn't have a shared demand like Paladin/Chaos. If they come out, it'll be later as per the usual redeco move in toys (with new tooling if we're lucky).

No sir. We had the prototype shown for MB01C, but not in camo.
The camo versions that showed up before were combined with the PCC commanders.

Same mold... just arranged differently in different photos. Looks like the photos of the Marine version show the missle launchers on the opposite shoulders, so they're actually facing back instead of forward.
