TFC Toys t.sina account has updated with a new image of their upcoming custom tank and plane robots. These little guys have conspicuous Power Core Combiner sockets on the tanks and therefore might be fully transforming Power Core Combiner limbs. They aren’t based on any particular existing Transformers designs, though they are based on real world tanks and planes – T-34 and Tiger 1 tanks, and P-51 Mustang and J-7 Shinden planes. Pretty cool, and if they are Power Core Combiner compatible they only get better. For now, check out the new images.

I think these looks really great. I'd love to see them make more molds/recolors for all the commanders.
Bombshock, Steelshot and Heavytread could all use the WWII era planes/tanks.
Crankcase, Huffer, Over-run and Leadfoot could all use Racecar themes limbs.
Darkstream, Skyburst, Windburn, Searchlight and Skyhammer could all use Concept aerial vehicles.
Icepick, Sledge, and Steamhammer could use Construction vehicles.
Doubleclutch, Mudslinger and Salvage could use Tow trucks and Wreckers.
Smolder and Stakeout could use Rescue vehicles.
Undertow could use Aquatic vehicles.
And Grimstone could use some transforming Dinosaurs.
Plus, if planned right, you could mix and match and make even better homages to G1 era combiners.
Just a thought and a dream.

These look pretty good. Will have to pick up a couple.

Glad I'm not the only one still waiting for more details of these guys. Got PCC Heavytread a while back in anticipation, but I reckon that Hercules has pushed these guys down on TFC priority list

Sorry for necro-ing this thread. But I was playing around with my PPCs and I said to myself I need more limbs. So just wondering, do anyone know when the heck I can pre-order these guys.

It's anyone's guess, TFC Toys aren't exactly forthcoming with details.

Next question is how long before we get our hands on these beauties.

I don't know why, they're pretty cool toys aside from their gestault modes not having hands. I've been waiting for one of the fan-made groups to do something to give these guys hands; this is WAY more then I was hoping for.

And people knock me for buying PCCs

Logical, yes. But you can't fault the man for loving the home team.
It's like my want of a Denny Hamlin #11 DotM "Wrecker". FedEx is the biggest corporation to call Memphis home.
Outside of the P-51 (for historical reasons), my favorite WWII plane is the P-38 Lightning. Another interesting aircraft to leave out is the Me-262 (the 1st jet fighter).
If he ever does sports or race cars, I'd like to see the 1969 Dodge Charger R/T (or Charger Daytona), 1998-2001 Pontiac Trans Am, Lamborghini Diablo (same style as Mach Alert) or Murcielago, and the 2011 Dodge Charger NASCAR version.

WOWZERS!! THOSE look awesome! I hope they won't be too expensive, as I will get them to give to some of my PCC guys. It's funny, I wasn't digging my PCC Steelshot figure that much….but now he may have just gotten saved from the "trade/for sale" bin as this vehicles would work great with him too! NICELY done guys!!

I must have them!

Oh damn! World War II alt modes and they can make my Power Core stuff look cool as well, oh I just love those guys.
Fingers crossed they release even more World War II alt modes in the future because there are just so many iconic planes, tanks and other vehicles that I'd love to have as transforming robots. Don't get me wrong modern stuff is okay but just something the designs from World War II that are just so much cooler looking than the stuff today.

I wonder if the Planes can make legs as well as Arms…. hopefully they will make some more.

Dear god almighty ARE THESE PICS LEGIT?!?!
I would have gotten the planes alone on pure win factor alone – I'm a sucker for small bots that turn into prop driven plans (like Rotf Ransack)…
but GEEZUZ the set would suit Sky Hammer so well without buying the horrid drones!
BOUGHT!
Tekmen
Here you go~~~ grey prototypes in gestalt mode

^ Woulda done fuck-all.

Does anyone have an idea if these will be sold individually or as a set, and what the cost might be? The PCC line could have been saved if Hasbro had done this.

Nice! I like the tanks alot.
sh002
pretty cool. i want transformable dinobot limbs next.
Anguirus
Nah, a Zero is much more iconic. A Shinden is just a weird design. But Transformers are often made just to look interesting.
