PCC Constructicons vs. Dinobots

Last week I just said Dinobots would be my last PCC set, but I now I bought also the Constructicons set. How weak my will is! When I learnt that Constructicons' power up mode has fingers, I couldn't resist to get this PCC set with real arms. A picture worths more than thousands of words. Lets have a look on the 2 classic "giants".

Steamhammer with Constructicons in package.


Grimstone with Dinobots in package.


Bios. Both of them are tough, strong, and ... stupid.

Steamhammer robot mode



Steamhammer is very small, even smaller than regular scout size figures!

Vehicle mode




The drone vehicles




Constructicons roll out!


Grimstone robot mode



Grimstone has a nice robot mode, but does not have very good articulations.

Dinosaur mode




Drone Dinosaurs



These dinosaurs are much bigger than other drone vehicles!

Dinobots attack!


Constructicons vs. Dinobots


Grimstone vs. Steamhammer




Constructicons combine!


Dinobots combine!


Power up mode: Devastator!





The greatest point of PCC Devastator is that he got fingers, and even thumbs!

Power up mode: Super Dinobots!



Dinbots has a very nice power up mode, because all the drone limbs have the same color scheme. Should be the second one like this after Combaticons?

Devastator can fight against 2 giants!



"Dinobots mean nothing to me!"


"Double Clutch sucks!"

Constructicons bring me back some interest to PCC. The 2 arms are much much better the other drone arms. However, Devastator still cannot bend his arms. This is still vital for PCC. Anyway, having more drones can make more different giants. Hope Hasbro can design better arms in the new waves, if there will be any.

Finally a photo of the 3 giants.

PCC Rallybots

The only PCC 5 pack I want is the Dinobots set, but I got the news too late that it is already out of stocks! Better than getting nothing, I bought the Rallybots set and Smolder as they are on sale. I always want to get a 5 pack set to get some drone limbs for the commander robot. It is really difficult to choose a 5 pack as they are really bad designs. I picked the Rallybots set because the drone vehicles look pretty nice. Smolder has the coolest robot among all the PCC.

First have a look on Smolder

Smolder in package.




Very nice looking vehicle mode.


Very cool robot mode.


Smolder's partner Chopster


Chopster becomes a big axe!


Power up mode


Leadfoot vs. Smolder


Pinpoint vs. Chopster

Now Double Clutch and the Rallybots

Double Clutch in package.




Double Clutch has a nice muscle car mode.


With the drone vehicles.


Even a great car mode, Double Clutch has a stupid robot mode...


Lets combine!


Power up mode, with stupid limbs.


Attack! Decepticons!


"You don't need those limbs!"


"Smolder, Power up!"


"Lets get the limbs back~"




Power up Leadfoot seems to have the best articulations.

After playing the 5 pack for a while, I can definitely say PCC is a failure! The drone limbs suck. I don't find any fun with the "power up" mode by sticking the limbs to the commander robot. I think the Dinobots set will be the last PCC set I will get.
