Yeah, it's based on the Kyushu J7W, a prototype interceptor for the Imperial Japanese Navy.

I don't think that second tank is American, but rather Russian. Can't really id it though. The last plane, as I pointed out, is definitely Japanese though.

These look awesome! I’m thinking WWII style combaticons! But you want to know what I would like to see as a third party toy… the monster bots! Now remember that G1 toy idea, the “Vintage horror movie series” that fell a long way from the plot tree, there was the Fly, Creature from the black lagoon, and Dracula, they turned into: a fly, a dinofish, a bat, I think that this would’ve sucked back then! But now with the articulation that we have… they are ALIVE!!!!

Someone identified them all in another thread as being from four different countries, which makes them cooler now.

The tank guys' arms really remind me of Munitioner's arms, the way the elbow articulation is designed and just the overall look of the arms, is this the same designer at work here or something? :-s

Here's the latest image of TFClub's WWII themed figures courtesy of their micro-blog. This image confirms the figures are indeed combiner limbs for what would appear to be a PCC Commander figure, most likely Bombshock based on the silhouette. Take a look at the mirrored image below.

Looks like I'm off to TRU tonite to pick up the Bombshock set.

quite like em. I don't have any PCCs but giving the limbs robot modes, and making them actual limbs, well, that might convince me to pick some up.

Awesome sauce! I'll buy them!

News Credits: 1 · by **ShardFenix** » Wed Apr 06, 2011 3:39 pm

well i already have bombshock...so these if the price is right will be a definite. and he will be taller which will also be a plus. seems the original pcc's were maybe what voyager sized? when combined hopefully this will be a little better.

Have these dudes actually made anything yet? Or do they somehow make a profit from preview pictures?

They made those crappy targetmasters along with weird sounwave and Optimus headmasters.

I think they are taking on too much at once. They need to concentrate on one thing at a time.

Not exactly HoS, but still antique alt. modes. I am very interested to see how these turn out. Wish these guys would focus their attention on Not Devastator though.

WWII PCC limbs with their own bot modes?

Here, have my money.

They also made those weapon sets, one of which included an autoscout, which turned out pretty good. But yeah, they should focus on one thing at a time.

That said, the fact that these are combiners has me a lot more interested, depending on the price.

Here's a little cut down on the confusion;

It is indeed that an Allied Powers tank and plane would end up being on the same team as a pair of Axis Powers air- and land-defense/offense vehicles. See how I did it there? :lol:

Sorry if I sound like a smart-ass.

I should be loving these PCC limbs with both robot modes and vintage alt modes, but the combined mode is too symmetrical for my tastes. Granted the Hasbro version is so asymmetrical that it can barely stand, but the drones were nicely varied. Here, it's reminding be of the 5-teammates-but-only-3-molds Energon combiners.

They also put out the Battle Rollar/Shadow Rollar set and the MP Starscream set. I have the Shadow Rollar and must say that once doing a bit of tightening on the ball joints it's great. Plus it came with a classics style red LED gun for Classics Nemesis Prime, and the upgrade parts for it to work with MP Black Convoy(he looks awesome holding it and the light is fairly well done.)

As for these, unless they are overpriced as all get out(I think $60 for all four would be a decent price) i'll pick them up. Have a TF/GI Joe homage mini-Bruticus to go beside my KO WST Bruticus & FP Bruticus.

These look pretty neat and would be a buy at retail prices, but at 3rd Party prices...just doesn't look THAT cool. I give 'em an A for effort, though. At least they have bot modes and become limbs.
