I'm relieved that these are the less interesting Mini-con molds and in boring decos. I was worried they'd actually be something I needed, lol.

What kind of weapon is the one in the middle supposed to be, and did it come with one of the PCC figures in the U.S.?

It's sort of a claw. It originally came with Heavytread. He's kinda bad all around. My least favorite of the line.

So, Peacemaker, Fracas (again) and Aimless? Good that Takara putting these PCC Mini-Con molds to use, but what about the bulks?
Speaking of bulks, it seems that these Microns are molded in colors of their G1 partners, but booboo'ed with Peacemaker who has G1 Sureshot's orange, but should have Pointblank's red. Fracas has G1 Scourge's blue, and Aimless has G1 Misfire's purple.

Does that mean that Prime figures will have the pegs to hold these weapons?

I'm pretty sure that these guys have 5mm pegs on them, so most Transformers should be able to hold them.

Don't you get it yet? The Minicons will NEVER DIE! It's such a powerful concept, it can be used again and again without any re-precaution as to why. Minicons just...work.

Has anyone else noticed they're the same colors as their normal releases? Except this time they're opaque

Why? The other PCC Mini-cons are pretty rad. These are the worst of them all.

They're pretty close, but the Groundpike has tan shorts and Throttler is purple instead of pink.

It's not that. The Mini-Cons are great (except these three, of course), but what I mean is Takara overuses these molds. Their PCCs, United, 2010 celebration (or was it 2011?), this, anything else I missed.

It is the first time that TT has released these specific minicons in their market. The Japanese never experienced the awesomeness that was the PCC line. (It's up to you if you think that line is sarcastic)
