The Energon Pub

Wow, i'm really surprised that no else made this list/Topic (then again maybe I'm not looking hard enough).

I was wondering what other mini-cons from previous lines that would well with the PCC's. It seems that the whole breastforce armor thing only requires mini-cons whose legs and arms have a decent amount of range in the joints (like ball joints), as for weapons, some mini-cons naturally work well with this (Armada Prowl), but I imagine some other mini-cons would do well with some creative transformations.

So far the Emergency Mini-con teams works the best with Huffer. Makeshifts acts as the breastforce armor with laser nipple action, and Prowl and Firebot work well with Huffer's right arm's mini-con port. I have yet to try out the Adventure and the Destruction teams.

I only recently got Smolder and Searchlight, so i have yet to test which mini-cons work well with them, but Huffer's second port makes him the best candidate for the job.

Actually, it goes beyond the armor modes. Many of the older Minicons either match the color schemes of the drones or look really cool hooked up to them. I'll try and post pics of what I've done already.

I look forward to seeing your creativity.

I have not tried using old minicons with the new PCC. Now I might, and mighting is half the battle, or something like that. :GIJOE:

I've been playing around with the minicons I have on hand(can't believe I left so much of my collection at my parents house...). Mostly the one's who have an additional weapon mode(or are military vehicles) look the best, but I've found some who don't have more than one alt mode look surprisingly good as armor.

Well considering that all of the PCC mini-cons' Alt-modes don't clearly resemble anything in particular regardless of what mode their in, I'm not surprised other Mini-cons can look good as armor. I sort want to dig up the Sky Boom shield see how the individual mini-cons act as armor.

Wow, so technically speaking a PCC can "unlock" an additional alt-mode on pretty much any mini-con thanks to the chest mini-con port.

Anyone else considers said port pulling double duty as a blaster?

I totally didn't flip Smolder's chest port out when I got him and then I DEFINITELY didn't march him around my desk going "WHAM! ZOWIE! BLAM!" :WHISTLE:

Okay finally got a set of PCC limbs. I got to say that I'm a little disappointed with Bombshock's mini-con port not being chest mounted, but I'll live. Oh if anyone else is having trouble getting the energon stubs/pegs to stay in the leg drones, your problem is the spring in the drone. They kept on popping the Energon peg out on mine. I found that if I push the flaps that pop out near the "knee" just a little bit higher the spring stops being a problem.

Also awkward thought of the day: A Mini-con with two ports both being used by a PCC's chest peg. Once I dug up Anti-blaze it just sort of happened.

Old Mini-cons that I like so far:

Firebot/Anti-Blaze
Makeshift/Scythe
Prowl/Checkpoint

More later.

Heh, that's totally awesome.
