Steamhammer. That's the stuff!

Edit: On second thought, with import costs being what they are, I'll probably just pass on this.

The tank and the boat were my two favourite PCC molds, and now they're getting some pretty darned cool repaints. I'll be picking them up and keeping an eye out for sales to pick up some of the others that I find sort of interesting, but not 80+ bucks interssting.

Wasn't too excited for this line until these images. So many cool and expensive repaints. Would love to have the constructicons and Nemesis Huffer and that Heavytread. But must resist spending the money on these.

They really screwed up Heavytread but I like the Rallybots and the Constructicons... I will not get these unless they get really cheap. I know what I do want though, The Asia exclusives who nobody seems to be doing preorders for...

I shall be getting that Construction Master. Works real nicely as a Classics Devastator. :D

The only problem is price. All shops taking preorders price it at $62 US. It's kinda hard to fork out that kind of money since the originals costed $23 US. And you're ideally paying for a scout class with 4 non-transforming Hot Wheels.

The Constructicon set looks nice. Too bad these are only gonna be an overpriced import.

Seems legit. :lol: Might have to get this set to... if they go on sale. $58US for 2 scouts is insane.

TFC and Maketoys move over...

Behold Takara's "Classics" Devastator !!!

On a more serious note, I like the Heavytread repaint. Drop the prices a little and Im all in.

So Hasbro calls a set Destrons and Takara renames them.

Crazy times we live in.

I wonder if this run of Double Clutch is a big floppy mess as well.

I'm hoping it's not.

And it looks I have to be a bit selective with those. Worth noting is that Heavytread, Skyhammer and Undertow have switched sides.

I can't see paying for these figures again at the price they are asking. Devastator does look cool in g1 colors but not that cool I got every PCC set for $5 to $10 why would I pay $50 to $75 for new colors

I'm with the majority here.

The black Huffer and crew look great, as does the Devastator.

I like Aqua Magnus too.

I like a lot of these repaints, just not for the price.

So Heavytreads cosplaying G2 Megatron, Undertows Ultra Magnus and Skyhammers seems to be channeling DotM Air Raid… what’s Sledge a homage to?

I was a big fan of the PCC and most of these look pretty solid but... its sadly all in the price.

really liking these. Sad they didn't go full on Octopunch with Marine Master's colours, but oh well. He still looks fantastic. Considering the 2 packs. Don't know about the larger ones, because, even with the nice colours, they're still dodgy combiner modes, or rather, Transformers in torso modes, with vaguely limb-shaped growths attached.

Yeah, come one! Give Dennis some love!

I do like some of the repaints, but as much as I was fond of some of the PCC line, I'm really not fussed about these.

Although I am curious about Sledge's colour scheme.. :-?

Four new microns - I like their color schemes!

Five packs can go into the smelting pool.

heh, for all intents and purposes they're really 1packs.

Wish TFC or whoever it is that's doing Iron Army would announce some more limbs so I could decide whether to bother getting more PCCs or not though.

these repaints are way more tight than i expected; they seem reinvigorated aesthetically.
i had bought almost all the 2packs and most of the5s when they came out; most, except Huffer, at a discounted price.
however the import price pretty much eliminates any future purchase of these for me, despite the cool visual direction.
damn i wish the US 5packs had been better constructed; will be interesting to see if TakTomy tightened anything up.

I sure am a fan of that Undertow and Waterlog repaint. That dive helmet in alt torso mode looks real good. If it was super cheap i would scoop it up.
