PCC: Grimstone

Auto Morph · 11-26-2010, 12:18 PM

Normally I think that all PCCs are a pile o' crap, but these are freaking Dinobots for crying out loud! I will hunt these down and own them, because they look cool.

Also, I very much like the fact that the figures in this set don't have any of that crappy light grey plastic that is so common in modern Transformers.

The Frankenstein's Monster-esque look of the combined mode of PCCs is really fitting here, as I think this aesthetic suits the "Dinobots" down to the ground. Great colour scheme too.

Will buy.

No, it's referencing the original Constructicons.

Constructicon Maximus' team was never referred to as such, just "Construction Team".

Granted, but I was referring them on account that their main/torso bot is also a Steamhammer. Either way, tis an amusing bio.

Was all "yeah, I need new toys" because all the cool new stuff wasn't around.

Found these at Walmart. Was going to avoid PCCs like the plague, but the ZOMG Dinosaurs factor kicked in.

Pleasantly surprised, worth the $15 and minor headache at the checkout.

kinda feeling like everyone's got Dinobot blinders on with this guy. Seems just as lame and in-cohesive (in design if not color in this case) as the other PCC combiners.

Still nice to hear he's a little more solid as a combined figure.

Grimstone is an awesome set. Click on the pic for my review.

I was thinking this as well, except that I actually like PCC.

I got this set yesterday, and I'm not any more or less happy with it than any of the other sets, with the exception of Mudslinger.

picked him up today and he's pretty darn sweet!

finally a dinobot combiner

only problem are the knees. he'll kinda flop over at the knees if he's not balanced/positioned right]
hm
[it IS my first PCC set so i dunno if thats inherent in all of them or not but]

still cool!

My Dinobots are a bit weak-kneed in combiner mode as well.
