    Icepick was honestly one of the coolest scouts I've picked up, I love his frost giant look

    ^ Him an a couple of other PCCs really should have had just the Combiner head only. Some of the heads look to scale in Scout mode anyway, versus their Scout mode noggins looking like noggins barely fit for Legends class figures. Also, if you can get some sort of 3rd Party PCC set like the Mobine Tanks or TFC Iron Army, you can do some crazy stuff with this one particular PCC.

    On the note of crazy PCCs... Sledge using the PCC HerQules 5/6 bots. Was able to mount the Hook torso on his shoulders. Looks frickin' metal. The crane lets you add a hook, and I had a 3D printed 5mm adapter and drill to tack onto Devy's arm.

    The dino team matches pretty well with the POTP dinobots, I feel.

    Hmm, this does remind me I need to fix my PCC Mudslinger's knees.

    agreed.

    I love your photos and your upgrade kits! do you have a place where I can view your pcc photos all together?

    I'm thinking of making my own limb adapters given the shapeways pieces that allow you to connect multiple commanders together are no longer available

    So as I bought an Armada Rhinox Last Week I noticed his minicon pal had the same alt mode as Icepick and looks quite cool mounted on top of his shoulder missile Minicon.

    Got in the Iron Army 3rd party limbs from my BBTS POL. PCC as it could have been without drone limbs. Oh what Grimestone could have been.

    I just dug out Grimstone and have him with the other Dinobots and yeah, he looks great.

    Personally, I am thankful for PCC as without it I don't think we'd have gotten CW.

    I do with they'd worked harder to have multiple cores that were supposed to go with the limbs. Like another dino to go with Grimstone to make a new Dinobots combiner. Kind of like how steamhammer could easily be swapped with that backhoe core

    Sledge arrived yesterday, I like to use his scoops as his arms it makes him look more unique and menacing. He makes me feel like he's a Decepticon version of Brawn being small but super strong.

    Also his minicon is really cool! possibly one of the best in this line

    I just busted out my sledge a week ago, to interchange with the construction limbs, such cool engineering in such a small package. You are definitely right about the Minicon :D

    this is a cool idea I hope someone takes it on.

    it could even be configured in a way similar to Micromaster Devastator.

    So Icepick's feet tab in rather well to the Energon OP limbs. Arms, not so much, but if you want to pose... Well it works.

    I want adapters for Energon OP to PCC now... Get a bunch of spare limbs, repaint and attach drills for Icepick or Sledge, subs for Waterlog, and copters for Searchlight. (I think those are the minicon names...)

    I haven't had a problem with Mudslinger yet... But Skyburst, that bot had a thigh swivel disintegrate on me... I had eyed getting a replacement for him, but I am still annoyed by the flimsy parts on that figure.
