New Prototype Images of TFC Toys WWII Style PCC Figures

These look triffic, but I doubt I'll be getting them for a good long while, since I'm already saving all my money for United Windcharger and Wipeout, plus before I get these limbs I'll need a more suitable commander - I don't really think Icepick would fit in with the WWII vibe...

Very nice, I'm loving the bulk and functionality of these limbs on the combiner commanders. I'm glad they aren't out yet, gives me time to save up for them!

Yeah, from what I've heard at Botcon panels... the trick to Hasbro releasing any combiners is making them cost-effective. If they don't make any money off of them (or if they can't pass safety issues) they can't release the toys.

By simplifying the limbs, they were able to cut costs and release these guys... throw us a bone with some kinda combiner. All things considered, it was a fun concept with great play value... but definitely a compromise. I think they know it... and of course, we know it.

And as mentioned above, I'm pretty sure the reason we're not getting BIG combiners is that they can't pass the drop test in safety testing. It's gotta be a pain being a big company. Trying to please little kids, collectors, lawyers, special interest groups....

(and before anyone mentions it... yes, they could release them as "adult collectibles" to get around the safety issue, BUT it would cut out most of their sales market, which brings it back to the money issue.)

Best thing we can do is keep reminding them. We DO want awesome, full-feature combiners like these. And I don't give a hoot about junky kibble mech-tech that's nearly the size of the robot. Best gimmicks (IMHO) still stand as combiners, headmasters/targetmasters, minicons. Energon weapons and mechtech weapons are much lower down the chart.... all the way down to action masters. LOL.

(end rant)

I like me some big chunky mech legs. Much better in any case than the ole movie Starscream chicken-dog legs.

Not bad. TFC is really pushing to FansProject territory.

Have we identified the types of the planes and tanks? Their original color schemes may hint on what they will look like in the future.

They look awesome!!!

Are you paying attention Hasbro?

IMHO I think they are cool in a simple kinda way. My only concerns are stability. I saw a video review of Bombshock combined and he was not so sturdy when combined and wobbled just a bit. Can anyone else comment on this factor with this PPC set or any other combiners or commander? It would suck ass if TFC didn't take this into consideration I think...'nuff said!

thirs parties, why u so expensive and third party and awesome and more expensive and imports from other countries and not possible for me to get???


Looks awesome, however.

I haven't noticed anything like this with Bombshock. Mine has been free standing with no support since I removed him from the package and combined him.

His transformation process was a little off due to Hasbro designing too tight a tolerance for some parts to move freely though.
