Transformers have always been fidget toys...

Was mildly interested in these when they first leaked. However, now with all that talk about "twisting" them together to make the alt modes along with the price, I might not be interested in these at all now.

I mean, what does that even work? The "twisting into" the alternate mode that is. Do you literally twist them together? So they're rubber/rubberized plastic and not standard plastic? Nothing screams "twisting" quite like a Transformer though.

I guess I was expecting something along the lines of the Crash Combiners or something. You got your two packs and then that five pack. So the two packs would be like we've seen already between RiD 2015 and Cyberverse and then the five packs like the RiD 2015 combiners. Or maybe even something like the Power Core Combiners. The two packs being a larger with a smaller figure and the five pack having a larger figure with four drones for limbs.

I'm down for more PCCs. Highly underrated toy line due to the drones. But most of the figures themselves weren't bad and when the drones were paired with two of the same arm and leg combos, the combined modes looked so much better. Shame about the fragile thighs on the Skyburst/Darkstream mold though. And if we're being honest, most of them made better torsos than the voyagers in Combiner Wars.

Reading up on the PCC page on the wiki shouts out several of the other torsos breaking but not the Skyburst/Darkstream mold specifically. That's the only one I ever had problems with. Skyburst in particular. I think I've had six of him so far over the years for various reasons and all have broken. I just glued the legs together at the thighs and called it a day after that. 

Oh and the Minicon Beacon but not Backwind. Which is odd since Backwind is the one with translucent plastic but it's Beacon with the opaque plastic that broke. And one of Waterlog's wings but only small part of one of the hinges.
