    I wish the PCC Minicons were made of an opaque plastic like these, though not those colors. Throttler in particular would probably look stellar in a silver or gray.

    They look like Now and Laters.

    They look ok but I'm not sure I want to pay exclusive prices.

    Come to think of it....these three look exactly like the minicons you get with the PCC two pack figures.....except they're a different color.

    I would like to buy them very much; although I typically prefer the PCC Minicons to be partially clear colours the eccentricity of the colours is quite fun.

    I'm sure I could find a home for them in my collection.

    Odd choices for giveaways but not so uncommon here in Japan (the Japanese love free and blind "lucky draw" stuff). XD That said, Groundspike kinda sucks since I have him from PCC Heavytread. His bot mode is OK but his alt modes are horrible. I suppose he could make a half-assed bat'leth or crossbow but that's about it. Peaceman actually looks decent and his orange coloring reminds me of the energon weapons Optimus uses in the movies, so I might go after him. The other minibot I have no idea, him being a purple drill bot. XD Maybe he'd go nicely with DOTM Shockwave?

    Annoying, I kinda dig the PCC minicons and I'd love them in solid colors (translucent plastic is an enhancement! not something you cast the whole toy in!) but just like the United ones released a while back I'm sure the price makes them an easy pass. Also that Groundspike mold is garbage.

    Also it seems Fracas is a common name on Nebulon, no?

    I'll give the completists a HUGE head start on these. That worked out quite well for them with PCC toys.

    I just dont understand why they are going into the PRIME line... something about the two things just doesnt go together for me.

    Hey - means my classics compulsion doesn't kick in like it did with the United Microns. And if these are anything like those, they'll be on sale in a few months anyways...

    I'll never understand why the japanese adore these crappy little things. All minicons are made of fail.

    It's purely a marriage of convenience - three previously unreleased Mini-cons for the Japanese market, and a new line to promote. No doubt it'd be a Classics line if one were to come along instead.

    I managed to get Groundspike in to a passable bow configuration but the shield / bumper mode is it's real focus. It's not a great weaponised minicon and there could be better choices even for a giveaway figure.

    unless i am mistaking, that is the name of one of the original decepticon targetmasters, isn't it?

    yup looked it up; missfire with aimless!
