I had Huffer and Smolder, but yesterday I bought my first 5-pack, Bombshock. It's really cool, I like it alot. I tried to use Smolder as the commander, but he seems unstable. Looking forward to more, I'll buy the Aerialbots and Searchlight together, I like how they look.

Man, I am one sick individual. :-(

I seriously just bought Searchlight because I needed a fix and he's the best of the bunch. I seriously haven't bought a TF in a store for months, because there's nothing to buy. So I got Searchlight. And now I love him. And now I want more. I was about to go get Huffer today, except the TRU is all sold out.

I was going to skip this line!!! Someone help me with my addiction. :-(

TRU is having a buy one get one 50% sale on Hasbro stuff, that should help your addiction assuming they restock before the sale ends.

...What? That's what he meant by help, right?

Oh, if anyone bought BombShock and find the Energon Pegs have trouble not only staying place in the drone, but popping out as well then your problem is the spring. If you take the shin flaps that pop out in the leg drones and just push them a little bit higher than where they naturally rest, the spring stop being problematic. I'll let you guys know if Skyburst has the same problem, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did.

Sorry, man, I can't help you. I may be in trouble too! I got all three PCC 2-packs today and opened Huffer. He's cool as hell!

I was totally going to skip the 5-packs, but now...I'm gonna have to get 'em, I think. I was hoping to NOT want these...

Me LiKwiD want Dinobot Pcc's!..

I got Huffer and smolder the other day..I'm digging the commander but I'm gonna be picky with the 5 packs..The 3rd party possibilities of the this line IMO are staggering...Imagine what FP could do with these........ =P~

I bought the jet five pack and that figure is very disappointing.

Switching out Searchlight for the center figure of the combiner improves him dramatically. I have to say that Smolder is a really good figure as well.

You totally answered a question that came to me when I saw that 5-pack in the store yesterday. I thought the Skyburst figure looked like trash, but the drones actually looked ok. So, if Searchlight helps that much, then that is great.

I don't have/probably won't get any of these (money reasons) but the commander figures and the minicons that come in the 2-packs look pretty good. I just wonder at the thoughts behind making the individual mini-cons able to transform into 4 things but the ones that become combiner limbs being completely neutered. I don't like it and I don't understand it.

Picked up Skyburst and Searchlight. The Aerialbots are a better set than I've read, esp. w/ Searchlight in the middle. These are fun sets, looking forward to the new sets.

Thanks to the TRU sale I got all of them thus far. There are some stinkers, but I do like them more than I thought I would. There is so much potential in this line, they could release drone packs with various gimmicks. There could be a set with pop out guns, another with blades, one with articulated hands.

Had this been 3 years ago, I'd be all over these. But money's a bit tighter and they just don't have the wow factor. I think my biggest drawback to the whole PCC line is the drone limbs.. I find myself in the majority of people would are still looking for G1 styled combiner limbs. Oh well, maybe they're saving it for Transformer's 50th anniversary.
