We couldn't very well have a new Autobot PCC combiner without another Decepticon in tow, now could we? The second half of our Wave 2 5-pack review brings us to Mudslinger. To check him out, all you need to do is click here.

Ugh. The tires on the shoulders are okay, but they're too much for the forearms. Most Transformers that have tires on their arms are passable, since the tires are ordinary size. It doesn't work well with monster truck tires.

I like the big honkin wheels on his arms, makes him look beefy and powerful. But as far as those knees go...any way of reinforcing them? I really want to get this guy but dont want a busted POS....

Yeah, he can have more forward momentum while punching, making it really easy to knock him over. :tflaugh

Had the broken thigh problem...was griping about it earlier myself. I did see another one today, but was hesitant to buy it so I could return the other one. What are the chances of Hasbro recognizing the problem and possibly fixing it on future shipments...or are these all already mass-produced and sitting in some shipyard...all crappy?

I'd say the latter. Pretty rare for Hasbro to change the design once the cycle's begun. Your only hope is that they do a repaint with a fix.

I have yet to see a single PCC figure that I like. megatron103 has it right: with all the strides made to give us such awesome figures in the other lines over recent years, it amazes me how bad these are. All I can figure is that kids get into these for the play factor and don't look at aesthetics like us adult collectors do.

this combiner line is going die...very fast. I see these hitting the clearence aisle at after X-mass sales.

 

Hasbro mistake on this line is not keeping up with the quality of their existing lines. Look at Battle Blades Bumble Bee, the best deluxe figure to come out of any line, hands down! Look at the hard work that was put into the Cybertron line. Battle Blades Optimus anyone?

 

So for a possible core line these PCC's are just so 2002. They would have been a great thing back when we had energon but this is 2010 and Transforming toys have come a long way.

I like em. I actually returned my Bombshock today (leaving me left only Smolder atm) but i like the concept behind them. Which leadsd me to my question.

 

On peaughs review of these, he says the drones are good. but i cant find anyone that clarifys if that means they STAY ON good. Can anyone tell me are these the best drones? On bombshock he was fine until i tried them with Smolder. Which looked cool and they all were fine after accept the jeep (swindle esque design). WHAT ARE THE BEST DRONES THAT WONT POP OFF? Thanks

    • Please tell me this won't be the only release of TFP Cliffjumper...
    • If you've not had your fill of Transformers collaborative news today, here is some more with a leaked product listing for the Project Knight: Transformers X Knight Rider crossover. We've been dreaming of this one, and it appears a transforming K.I.T.T. will be coming as soon as August! It must be something big and or special with a $49. - Read the Full News Story
    • Tonight on GotBot Goes Live, we talked Transformers news for the newest multipack and some reissues. We also talked collaboratives with TMNT, an Ectotron reissue and, maybe, even Star Wars? Plus, we address the MP Ginrai teaser image and answer who is Riggorus?  
    • EDIT 2: Okay, I think my real problem with this was the marketing image. The main image shows four robot turtles standing together, so I was ready for four toys, not one. Admittedly, I was so disappointed that I did not bother to read the article fully. That's my fault. I apologize. That said, now that I understand it is THE van that turns into a robot, not "robot versions of the four turtles," that makes more sense, but I don't get the four heads. There are images here of a bandana free head which I gather is not included. I would actually prefer a non-specific generic turtle head for the robot. I think that would remove a lot of confusion. At least for me. EDIT 1: My bad, I misunderstood. It's one toy with swappable heads. So, you made a thing based on a four member team, and you only want to sell one toy? You're not even trying to get people to "Collect all FOUR!" You do understand how toy sales work, right? Original Comment: This is a perfectly fine idea executed TERRIBLY. You made four unique toys, each specific to each of the Ninja Turtles, that all turn into the same vehicle? It would be one thing if they joined together to form the van. There have been transformer sets like that before. This is just wasted opportunity. Not to mention, that van exists for the turtles to ride in together as a team, so if they can turn into vehicles ... what do they need a van for? I get that that's their van, and that's cute and all, but ... this is just dumb and disappointing. Why not think about what kind of car each of them would drive based on their personalities, or ask some car company if they want to do a tie-in promotional? What do I want with four copies of the same van and no one to ride in any of them? It makes no sense.
