    And whining about news coverage clogs up the discussion thread that's supposed to be about the toy. New information in a new review is considered... wait for it... news.

    Anything not about this set moving forward in this thread is going to be deleted as off-topic discussion.

    Heavytread himself is awesome, but Groundspike looks a little wonky in robot mode.

    I like this. If you leave the turret up, it reminds me of an old Super Go Bot.

    I don't have any kind of sponsorship or secret deal with TFW2005 for anything, much less video reviews. I was as surprised as anyone when these got frontpaged. For the record though, it was watching fxfranz's reviews that got me all excited to rush import these from Robot Kingdom. They're great figures, and Heavytread may well be the best commander figure yet.

    This guy is a must buy for me.

    Overall this PCC line is pretty nice.My only real complaint is with the mini-cons,to me they are pretty much useless.

    Good review! Great figure, and great choice of Drones to review him with. I prefer symmetrical(ish) combiners.

    Nice review Peaugh, I'm loving Heavytread more and more every time I see him, still hoping for a Warpath repaint though :D 

    Just one thing, you didn't show Groundspikes weapon mode as a giant claw thang. Might be an idea just for anyone who hasn't seen it ;)

    Geez people, stop trying to create reviewer-wars when the reviewers themselves don't have any problem between them. Just save it for yourselves if you don't like someone on a toy forum.

    I think this is the best wave of PCCs yet, both look like great scout figures on their own right, and Heavytread is one amazing torso mode right up there with Bombshock's (I still find him to be one of the better torsos)

    Yeah. I meant too, and just forgot. Which is easy to do, since his weapon mode is just so..forgettable. I'll snap a pic and append it to the review.

    It's too bad that the tank's cannon is only usable in alt mode. I know that was typical for G1, but I would think they'd be able to engineer a way around that, like they did with Armada Megatron. Oh, well.
