If any one as any good ideas for pcc 5 packspost them here

Sun Nov 07, 2010 7:24 pm

well, iguess i have to start :BOOM:

in a pcc 5 pack the commander would be an hovercraft the left arm would be a sub, right arm would be a aircraft carrier the left leg would be an iron ore ship and last the right leg would be a crouse ship. And the name it would be Tidal wave

A train pack for the Autobots, and a truck one for the 'cons.

Sun Nov 07, 2010 7:51 pm

I had an idea to name a team or group the "Drifticons", "Drifters", or "Driftobots" that were all sports cars and muscle cars. This may be a neat five pack idea. But the Rallybots are pretty close to that concept.

A predacon team seems an obvious choice and one I'd want.

As much as I do like the dinobot team, I would also like another set with Grimstone and four new dino drones.

Maybe some headmaster types where a drone attaches to the top of the commander and unfolds into the second head.

And I support the train idea.

nice i also thought the train idea

sorry about getting off topic but they should make a pcc popnachine witha a pop can mini-con

Personally I'd prefer if the the drones in each set were animals. The smaller scale of the drone vehicles really bugs me. I bought Double Clutch yesterday because I like Scout size cars but the drones I could care less about

Animal drones would be a nice homage to the Actionmaster partners.

People condemn the Actionmasters because they didn't transform yet the same people love the Robot Heroes and those Stealth toys, none of which transform.

These no robot drones may become limbs but where's the character? Lose the larger bots and you're left with boring littel toy cars. Noone ever raves about Roller, Slammer or Energon Optimus' drones (though at least they were a reasonable size) but Soundwave's tapes and the likes of Top Heavy and Catgut were nice little characters on their own.

So to get back to the topic, I'd like more animal drones.

Thanks! I also thought this would be a cool team idea for the movies. You could have Drift, Blurr, Smokescreen, Cliffjumper, and Hot Rod working together maybe.

How about a 5 pack where the drones don't auto-transform, so they can have articulation and don't look like crap?

It should be possible to have limbs that auto-transform yet don't look terrible. There just... haven't been.

Since they made Grimstone with Dinobots PCC I guess Dinoking is out. That's too bad because only Goryu was always seen in robot mode riding his dinosaur while the others mostly traveled in their dino-shells making Goryu with Dinoforce a perfect PCC 5 pack decepticon set. Looking through the group Goryu is the obvious commander (T-Rex) with the drones being Kakuryu (triceratops), Gairyu (ankylosaurus repaint), Rairyu (apatosaurus), and Doryu (stegosaurus). I cannot see how Yokuryu would work as a limb, but I'd love to have a pteranodon as a second commander for both the Dinobots and Dinoforce, especially if the wings stick out in combined mode. The minicon could be a detachable tail/mace/dinosaur robot of some sort (so I guess that would make it a tailed pterasaur).

Turtler and the Seacons are also perfect for PCC since the Seacons actually acted as drones under Turtler's command and only appeared robotic when being destroyed or forming King Poseidon. Since there were six Seacons, one of them could be upgraded to secondary commander and sold with a minicon. The squid would make a great arm with the tentacles actually acting as long whipping fingers.

I would have to consider Dinoking if done right as well as both versions of the other dinosaur commander. King Poseidon would likely be BOS for me, with the second commander also dependent on how the mold looks.

Edit: In my fatigue I spelled "Dinoking" "Donoking" twice... :-$

Aquabots.

Seacons.

I could dig it.

How about a Commander with a garbage truck mode called Landfill (homage to the old G1 Targetmaster) packaged with 4 scrappy, asymmetrical, slapped-together out of spare parts-looking drones. They could be called Landfill with Junkions!

Incidentally, now that I have all the sets up to current, I begin to see the logic of the line as a whole. Last night I was going through my boxful of drones and seeing which would look cool as an arm or leg on Crankcase and Stakeout. Now that there is a healthy supply of drones, this kind of thing gets interesting.

That would be interesting. ;)^

If I had the money I would have taken advantage of the $15 five pack and $7 two pack sales to be able to do just that. This concept is similar to Power Rangers Wild Force with all the limb swapping more than the G1 "Scramble City" combiners. I wish I paid attention to Wild Force. I could have had three solid Megazords to mix and match with (and a few extra zords to further the mix, like PCC). That's why I like the PCC concept. If I had a kid, I'd budget the money for these things because I'd want them if I was 5 years old as much as I wanted Prime and Devastator. Lucky me I got both as well as Grimlock, back when they still used dicast metal. And both Voltrons! Those were the days...

Yeah, Wild Force had a cool system, that is if you could find all the Zord/limbs. I had to order the Elephant sword/shield Zord from Japan since BOA failed to bring it here. Dino Thunder, Operation Overdrive, Jungle Fury and RPM also shared the interchangeable Zord concept, and are among my favorites, though for OO the Japanese Megazords are far superior to the U.S. re-molded versions.

I was thinking Omega Supreme could split into something like Omega with Sentinels. I'm thinking Omega would be a tank, and an arm would be the conical rocket, but I'm at a loss for the the other drones. Still, definite potential with Omega.

I'd want this to have consistent gray throughout, like Grimstone with Dinobots, and I'd prefer all of the vehicles to be Cybertronian in design. If the gray matches, this could be a good limb swapping set with Grimstone.

Also, I'm sure someone has mentioned somewhere that there should be an Insecticon 5 pack. That's just all too obvious. :-B
