EDIT: Actually, looking at him, and the head for the combined form, he'd make a better repaint as Motormaster! That would be awesome! Woefully small, but awesome!

I doubt I will ever get any limbs, so the bright blue plugs will get painted over or cut off, and that translucent minicon will either be painted black and gunmetal or retired altogether.

Huffer, Drift and Thrust are the only planed purchases for me of the new releases we've seen.
Not including aftermaret companies. Got enough pre orders from FP and PE to keep me broke for a while.

Haha thats what popped into my head. Now to figure out which set to custom.

Given that Caliburst transforms into his chest piece, I believe that his robot mode head will be hidden nicely from view.

I can see hasbro doing the as a repaint later down the line.

Dude, awesome idea! Can't wait to see the first repaint of Motormaster from this guy!

His power-up head looks somehow Menasor-ish... with a smile? So Huffer's power-up mode has a reversed personality?
Hmmm... seems only his right arm can hold Caliburst. No biggie.

Hoist, Long Arm, Tow Line, Hauler, or just make one up. But if you already got Botcon Huffer (ya' lucky bastid) and you wanna give this guy a new name, I suggest giving him one that's not got a new toy yet.

Haha hopefully I'll have a new camera by then. I wouldn't mind sacrificing the original chest and minicon to have them display seperately. Now to organize this custom list. For now though I'm working on the scout class cross over of scout knock-out into WoW qiraji battle tank mount. http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/bas ... llery.html

Hoist is being used with ROTF Hoist, Tow Line is being used by Energon Landquake...I like Hauler though. He was yellow in the G1 show so it works!! Thanks!

I'd be down for some neon green action. For whatever reason, translucent Mini-Cons just click with me. I don't really care for them otherwise. Backwind looks awesome as all get out to me. I'm really interested to see what kinda repaint fun and mix and match madness is possible for future releases.

Limited really. There`s going to be little or no action until Takara gets their hands on these guys. Then the hypothetical beaver dam is going to explode and we're going to see some mad repaints circa X-Dimension, Linkage, Micron Legend.

X-dimension? I have yet to find those, anywho, I smell win from your brain. Are you perhaps... a mind blowing genious ?

Thanks!
Got them for 45 Malaysian Ringgit each, which is about USD13.50 each.

I also like these. I want these. Especially Smoulder. I hope he appears in animated media voiced by Dennis Bateman. This would complete the deal for me.
I'd better have a job by the time these are out, it's looking hard to chose.

Well, I'm going to save this for some time in the future when it will be extra funny.
It is now the Mini-Con prodigy's duty to sex up the fandom when I'm too busy to do so.

Seconded on the pictures, these figures look better and better every time I see a picture of them. I am looking forward to them.

I can't really compare to you though. You're in the room and Armada Sureshock and Cliffjumper drop their pants.

Yeah, I understand that but it seems after every couple series of Transformers the toys seem to become worse and that's why I said they're kiddish. I mean come on it's 2010 now they should be able to do way better than this.

For whatever reason my follow up to this never posted. The last sentence really pertains to the PCC line in general. I wasn't clear there. Also, shhhh Takara will hear you. Although, for THESE Mini-Cons, I might actually buy into that.

Oh, of course it's not a bad thing, Machine Wars was awesome
On a side note though, I realized I really like the placement of the underarm gun - it's reminiscent of the G1 toy with its (albeit reversed) smokestack arms.
The other ones are nice too, especially Searchlight =o
Posted by Meister79 on May 22nd, 2010 @ 4:21am CDT
Hope they answer some questions....
Here is smolder exchanging axes with Botcon Fallback.
Chopster in gun mode attached to the Minicon port on Armada Deluxe Optimus Prime.
Smoulder holding Over-Run in gun mode.
Armada Deluxe Optimus Prime holding Chopster. (Hopefully Chopster can be used with WFC Optimus too, so he will have an axe.)
As you can see, PCC Minicons are compatible with other figures and PCC Bots can hold other weapons without problem.
The only incompatible part is with the Energon combiners.
Here is a size comparison with TFCC Heatwave. Heatwave, being a Deluxe figure, is larger than the PCC torso bot.
The combination ports are also of different shape. Heatwave's are octagonal in shape, whereas PCC combiner ports are squarish.
Here is a size comparison with TFCC Terradive, who transforms into one of the limbs. Clearly, he is too large to be paired up with Huffer. Even if they could combine, it wouldn't look good anyway.
