The PCC 2 packs are gold. Cant wait till I get my hands on these.

Damn thee Hasbro, you didst quite well.

Wow -- those are looking really, really good to me. They might call him Heavytread, but I see Brawl! I'm thinking Skyhammer looks like someone to me too, but I can't quite place the resemblance.

Not that I have any problem repurposing figures, but Hasbro could make these buying decisions so much easier for me by explicitly naming these guys after appropriate G1/G2 counterparts.

That Tank Guy looks pure awesome.

Heavy Tread looks great!

And a little like an Imperial Baneblade...

I agree with everyone else that Heavytread looks A LOT like Brawl. I thought the same thing right after I saw the pics. I'm planning to pick up my first PCC Two-Packs this week sometime. Hopefully if they grow on me I'll add these two to me connection when the release. They both look great.

Skyhammer's face reminds me of IDW's Jhiaxus. Pretty sweet likeness, really.

Sorry folks, but with a recent discussion on the Movie Brwl/Firetrap, Heavytread has me thinkin' Guzzle. TThough arguably, all of those G1 tanks were limited to the same basic tranformations. Plus, thr ecout class is too small to match up to the other COmbaticons we've gotten so far. (Onslaught, Swindle)

skyhammer ALMOST looks good but i dunno really. . .

but lets face it this article is all about heavytread who. looks. AWESOME. weapon is sorta weird i mean what is it supposed to be? but who cares about a weapon when you have a giant tank death cannon on your back!

I was actually thinking along the lines of Armada Cyclonus...but I'd have to see a lot closer to be sure on that...

I'm actually impressed with these...very impressed. More money gone...

See, this is exactly what I like about this line. Hasbro are creating a bunch of NEW characters instead of retreading the same old ground that has been covered a bajillion times before.

HOLY CARP! These guys look fantastic! Way to go Hasbro!

WHOA. Heavytread is bought! He'll be Brawl to me too. Skyhammer looks interesting, but I'll have to see better images to decide.

I love that new brawl figure. I swear to god, if there is an old school connector buried somewhere in that guy for Bruticus Maximus I might just... freak out!

I think they both look great, although I don't like Groundspike or Airlift.

That's exactly what I did w/ Huffer. Fits in nicely w/ my Classics collection. And I did paint those neon blue tabs black, which is what Hasbro should have done in the first place. Why a blue that practically glows in the dark

I like groundspike because he's a melee weapon and seems fairly functional and thought out as a vehicle weapon. Airlift looks like a tougher Chopster/Razorbeam and no discernible difference between his robot weapon and vehicle weapon modes.

I can't wait for more 2-packs. PLEASE make more 2-packs Hasbro! (Not Repaints!)

Oooo, judging by Groundspikes vehicle-weapon-mode I think we can guess that he'll make an awesome chest-plate for Heavytread in combiner mode.

Love Groundspike!

It would be cool if FANSPROJECT would engineer a way to make an attachment for Heavytread (AKA G1 Brawl) to be combined with the Bruticus set. i wouldnt suppose it would be that hard as the PCC figures are within that size (I would have to see a comparison) but I can picture him with the add on appendages my bruticus already has...it would be AWESOME!!! man it feels GOOD to be an old school G1 Fan...

On another note HASBRO PLEASE MAKE A GENERATIONS SLUGSLINGER FIGURE!!!

Heavytread reminds me of movie Brawl and Skyhammer reminds me of movie Dreadwing. Huh.

Realized last night after going to bed that the general profile of the tank, with the turret pushed back, and the small size, that this could be repainted successfully as G1 Warpath. The head sculpt already seems close even.

Be nice to have him to throw in with ROTF Beachcomber, PCC Huffer, HFTD Hubcap, and HFTD Windcharger. Given, they'll all look out of place with deluxe Bumblebee & Cliffjumper and a voyager-class Seaspray standing nearby, but it would still be neat.

thank Primus wave 3 is so skippable, otherwise my wallet would never heal.

Obviously, being Seibertron's only PCC fanboy, these two are definate buys. I can only hope the third guy is just as good looking as these two are.

The so called "targetmasters" keep getting weirder and weirder. But these seem ok. I hope they are Decepticons.

Does anyone know if Heavytread is an Autobot or Decepticon? I can make out a Decep symbol on Skyhammer's side, but I can't see any on Heavytread.
