    Should we send off an email to Hasbro with the proper definition of the word HOMAGE? :D

    same reason guards carry guns to protect what they are guarding. these protectobots aren't the search and rescue type like the originals were.

    Menasor and defensor look sweet! Though they might need some better limb mix and match going on.

    With the lack of drone robot modes I just don't see why we can't have combined modes with...i dunno...hands :p

    Didn't Hasbro state at Botcon that the PCC "Teams" are more like new members of the existing G1 Teams than they are homages to them.

    Thats how I've been looking at them anyway. Bombshock and his team are just new members of the whole Combaticon group. With the core 5 forming Bruticus and Bombshock and maybe the eventual Heavytread figure being new members that utilize the new combiner technology.

    Same goes for the new guys. Stakeout is a new member of the Protectobots. Now granted there are no Rallybots, Destructicons or Destrons. But therse no rule about giving us new teams. Leadfoot could totally hang with DC and the Rallybots.

    Well if they used the rallybot drones on Crankase we would've had a decent Menasor type combiner

    Note to self: whenever you open new PCC figures, TAKE PICTURES. I can only imagine the bedlam that will set in once a person has 25 or so Commander figures and Mini-Cons and 50 to 75 Drones in a storage bin. "Now, did this Drone come with this Commander or that one...?" CHAOS!

    Laughing at all the homage talk. Now, admittedly, I do plan on buying all of these. But a Menasor homage is as simple as buying the Destron set and the Rallybots set and mixin' 'n' matchin'. And if you're feeling especially inspired, repaint the figures yourself. I'm kind of glad there aren't overt homages yet. Let's get some new names and stuff in there before the concept starts feeding on itself again.

    That's basically on the money. :D 

    A helpful visualization I had would be an armada of PCC Aerialbots fighting off a legion of PCC Combaticons, with Superion and Bruticus potentially arriving if the conflict escalates.

    These combiners would be A LOT better if they actually had hands.

    All bought. I love these guys.

    once they're in my house, they'll be sharing drones like crazy. and if i get enough spare drones to gut, maybe i'll get em to combine with each other.

    As for my take on homage, new members, etc...

    i like that idea. but i find these new concepts not to be combiners in the traditional sense, but single dudes who have a set of semi-autonomous drone equipment at their control.

    Well, I'd like to be protected by a Tank. Who wouldn't, really.
