    The giant dozer blade on Steamhammer's back in robot mode is a bit awkward, but I think his combined mode makes up for it. Nice to see some drone arms that actually look like arms.

    Good review. I just realised those Power Core Combiners don't have robot limbs (mainly because I don't own any). Wow that is incredibly stupid.

    Damn. I really do not like that shade of green on Steamhammer, but those drones look GREAT with Sledge. I'll have to get this set just to put the limbs on Sledge.

    I also have to wonder if Hasbro, when they get around to releasing Steamhammer on his own with a repurposed mini-con, will paint him orange and make him an RID Wedge homage?

    Why couldn't they have just made a Devi homeage in PCC... I'd buy that, not this monstrosity ;)  Only one I realy like is the Dinobot combiner.

    Thanks for the review!
    I love this set, they are bought on sight.

    About the limbs and hands issue: Maybe I already said this, but I actually like it that way. The trend started with movie Devastator, who looked monstruous, or beast-like rather than humanoid. It is indeed a pity that limbs are drones without an alt mode, but I got over it, I don't see it as a bad thing anymore.

    So, these limbs are uneven, one being longer than the other, and look like claws, not hands. So what? he won't be able to bring you a tray with iced tea? He has 2 arms made out of heavy machinery, and he can tear steel beams into shreds as if they were made of butter. That's what he is supposed to do.

    I understand that you like the humanoid looking gestalts. I like them too. There is no need to "get married" with one concept, I just appreciate each for its own coolness.

    I've been getting the PCC's just for the main bots. Those drones really, really suck balls on so many levels... Steamhammer looks cool though.

    Not a bad transformation & combined-mode but they could have given them a more consistent colour scheme. It doesn't look like TakTom will carry this line so... It looks like I'll be leaving this guy on the shelf & taking home his Dinobots wavemate instead.

    Well, actually this isnt the first combiner named Devastator in this modern days. :/ and one is worst than the other. As I said, very impressive but Hasbro is taking the place of Megazords with these PCC line, with no Power Ranger series, then we have Power Core Combiners !

    Anyway I always wanted a dinobots combiner so its video review time!
