I wonder if these WW11 style PCC figures will cost around $20. I just can't justify spending over $25 for these 4 PCC limbs. as the gift set in stores with the core leader only cost $19.99.

Hopefully these aren't the only WW11 PCC limbs made. I kinda want this to continue with more different vechicles like sports cars,jets,rescue,construction & 4 dinosaur limbs that transform into individual tiny robot modes.

I love the way the combined weapons look like an actual rifle. Also when I saw the second picture of him with the crane, I was in an OH MY situation. So glad I'm getting him.

No need to stir the pot man.

I'm like what the combined gun mode looks like.

World War 11??!! But I haven't seen World Wars 3 through 10 yet. :lol:

I'm with puttster3: that image of Hercules holding Dr. Crank's crane as a bat did rather stop me in my tracks. The combined rifle looks cool, but Devastator with a gun just doesn't look quite right to me. Can't wait to get paid so I can order Structor & Cranky.

Picked up an extra Heavytread with my Spastic last night to go with those limbs.

News Credits: 4 · by **craggy** » Fri Nov 25, 2011 4:14 pm

the little guys are looking good. I really hope there are more made to go with my other PCC commanders. I only ever bought the 2packs because the official gestalts were a)fugly as all get out and b) single robots with horrible gloves and boots in place of true combiner teams. Some evil emergency vehicles for my Smolder and some yellow construction vehicles for Sledge please?

the big guy(s) looking nice too. Not getting Hercules as can't afford it (might stretch the budget a bit for Giant) but damn he looks menacing with that big crane/club in his hands. Awesome!

This set was the reason I bought Heavytread.

That there is a beautiful Devastator. I sure do like him with the giant club/bat bot crusher!

Website · by **DMSL** » Fri Nov 25, 2011 11:32 pm

Wow this Devastator keeps looking better and better.

Now if we can only get a black combining gun instead of the transparant red or purple i would be 100% happy.

Oh and no purple visible in Scrapper's vehicle mode would help too.

It looks like the "chest wing" that comes with Scrapper can be attached to Scavenger in combined mode if you are looking to capture the IDW style Devy.

I bought a 2nd Heavytread last night just for this set.

I'm curious though about the configuration that the TFC "drones" will form. Are they more akin to a Scramble City type where each individual can form an arm or a leg or will they be less interchangeable (planes only as arms, tanks only as legs)?

Here they are combined with Heavytread and Bombshock. It looks like the planes have to be arms and the tanks legs.

Why are these still not out yet? I thought these have been in prototype stage before we even got a glimpse of Hercules.

Thanks for the pics and info.

Heavytread looks great with those combiner parts. I think he looks better than Bombshock when combined with the WW2 figures.

I completely agree. I LOVE his proportions.

Everything TFC does seems to be slow as hell.

From the weibo page of Jon Jon Zheng we have new image of TFC Toys WWII PCC limbs. Here we see the four prototypes attached to PCC Commander Heavytread and in alt mode. Each figure has the ability to transform into a robot, a vehicle, and a combiner limb. No word on when this set will become available, but it looks as though they're getting close.

by **WasPWNator** » Tue Nov 29, 2011 10:56 am

These look triffic, but I doubt I'll be getting them for a good long while, since I'm already saving all my money for United Windcharger and Wipeout, plus before I get these limbs I'll need a more suitable commander - I don't really think Icepick would fit in with the WWII vibe...

News Credits: 1 · by **Cybershark** » Tue Nov 29, 2011 10:59 am

WOW, its only a 100 times better then anything Hasbro came out with. The shittiest concept ever. The "DRONE" what a lazy amount of FAIL those are,lol. But I gotta admit if someone can come up with changing bots for each limb on each Commander I might just buy them to replace the poopy "DRONE" limbs we are stuck with.

PS: Nice addition of actual hands and feet I HATE when Hasbro does not make hands on bots just like the damn movie figures. We need bots with hands on ALL of our bots,lol.

Theres my rant,sorry. lol

Very nice, I'm loving the bulk and functionality of these limbs on the combiner commanders. I'm glad they aren't out yet, gives me time to save up for them!

by **griftimus prime** » Tue Nov 29, 2011 11:07 am

not a fan of those legs. they are just tanks that dont look like legs. and this thing is SHOOOORT

by **gothsaurus** » Tue Nov 29, 2011 11:13 am

Yeah, from what I've heard at Botcon panels... the trick to Hasbro releasing any combiners is making them cost-effective. If they don't make any money off of them (or if they can't pass safety issues) they can't release the toys.

By simplifying the limbs, they were able to cut costs and release these guys... throw us a bone with some kinda combiner. All things considered, it was a fun concept with great play value... but definitely a compromise. I think they know it... and of course, we know it.

And as mentioned above, I'm pretty sure the reason we're not getting BIG combiners is that they can't pass the drop test in safety testing. It's gotta be a pain being a big company. Trying to please little kids, collectors, lawyers, special interest groups....

(and before anyone mentions it... yes, they could release them as "adult collectibles" to get around the safety issue, BUT it would cut out most of their sales market, which brings it back to the money issue.)

Best thing we can do is keep reminding them. We DO want awesome, full-feature combiners like these. And I don't give a hoot about junky kibble mech-tech that's nearly the size of the robot. Best gimmicks (IMHO) still stand as combiners, headmasters/targetmasters, minicons. Energon weapons and mechtech weapons are much lower down the chart.... all the way down to action masters. LOL.
