    Power Core Combiners. Hmmm...

    So "Combat Master" would be Bombshock + Drones.

    And "Jet Master" being Skyburst + Drones.

    The "Prime Mode" bit being their Gestalt form.

    that actually works very VERY nicely.

    Can still see the voyager pack being Breacher and Chopsaw... But if it were to be PCC Commanders, who do you think makes the most sense to be Roller Master and Chopper Master?


    -ZacWilliam, Chopper Master as PCC Searchlight? That works good too. So Roller =?

    There is someone that uses a chopper (axe) as a weapon; Smolder.

    Roller is probably a car; Salvage? He is blue, and he rolls.

    exactly... a repaint as someone valid is awesome... a repaint as a new character, not as worth it, to me.

    Power Core Combiners seem possible, especially since Takara has already been making use of their minicons. That would likely save me some money, though; it would take a lot to make me buy any more PCC's, no matter what line they are released under.

    Well, unless there were repaints of Heavytread and Undertow; I'd be all over those.

    I was referring to the listing between Voyager and Leader price point.

    Unless Takara have put their prices up.

    Again.

    PCCs do make sense, especially the whole jet/ combat bit, but man that's mighty expensive for a scout and some automorph limbs.

    If they are PCCs that that will be an easy pass for me.

    Jet Master Prime Mode made me think of the cancelled Prime w/Jetfire pack that was cancelled. But it doesn't say Optimus, or Convoy anywhere so I am guessing that this may not be the case.

    Probably not that interested, especially if it's PCC. Blergh.

    Speculation Ahoy!

    Jet Master = Skyburst 5-pack
    Combat Master = Bombshock 5-pack
    Chopper Master = Searchlight 2-pack
    Roller Master = ??? could be almost any wheeled vehicle. Someone like Leadfoot/Over-run or Mudslinger/Salvage fits best to me, but the seemingly PCC wave 1 basis I think I'm seeing leads me to either Smolder or Huffer.

    I think we have a winner! Question is, will they be the same as the US releases or altered decos? History shows that stuff that is released in Japan a while after its US release tends to get new / different decos - it makes me curious as to what we migh see here.

    Did someone forget to tell Takara that the PCC line was a huge failure?

    Japanese market, targeted audience, presentation and goals are entirely different from US ones. One does not equal the other.


    -ZacWilliam, that's even granting your original thesis has anything to do with the toys themselves and not with stores ordering a billion of the first wave and then nothing else.

    Millions of preorders suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly cancelled. I feel something terrible has happened to the United line.
