Apart from the lousy paint application, and fiddly combination, the toys are just boring. The main bot is very simplistic, with no great features, and the drones aren't really exciting, even at the concept level. It would be okay if the combined bot was great, but it's not.
I was happy to see new combiners, but these aren't the drones I'm looking for.
I have Mudslinger; he's pretty awesome. And Skyburst isn't the best 5-pack. Don't let that pack neglect you from buying more! As for me, I'm sorta digging Windburn. Anyone care to tell me how good Searchlight is? I don't have him yet.
Searchlight is pretty good, the only real downsides are that his rotors have to be removed for transformation, and that the rotors themselves are not the same: the front one has 4 blades while the back one has 3.
The rotors don't need to be removed. I've transformed him a few times now and have never taken them off.
Beacon looks like garbage. I love the mold for him but opaque is blah. Transparent red though? I'd buy that. The- mini-con reuses otherwise look pretty decent.
I still haven't acquired a PCC yet, 2-pack or 5-pack. If anything, it's gonna be a 5-back that will be my first PCC buy, most notably Bruti-I mean, Bombshock. Getting Skyburst as Silverbolt, Bombshock as Onslaught, Double Clutch just for the drones (and a temporary Jazz), Crankcase as Motormaster, Constructicons as G1 Constructicons, Sledge as G1 Scrapper, I could go on forever (unfortunately, I can't, because I can't remember the other PCC's-that-I-want's names.
Whew, what a breather....
They call me “Tanker Chungus”!
