Im on the lookout for this.

Very easy to repurpose it into Classics Brawl (bit of paint, some reprolabels).

I'd be interested to see a skilled kitbasher integrate this into the Fans Project Corssifre 2 Bruticus set in place of the standard Brawl.

He is a nice figure. Not perfect but good for a ppc. So should have been Brawl

Im satisfied with the Classics Brawl figure, but this figure I thought would be a good repaint for Guzzle.

He is a great little figure. Mine has some stress marks where the barrel joins up (behind head in bot mode) but i think that is from the factory and wont get worse with play wear. Also I am a big fan of using the combiner head with his usual bot mode, it looks kinda cute.

Picked this guy up today - he is great!
His minicon, however, is one of the worst of the bunch in my opinion. It feels like cheap plastic and I don't buy any of its weapon modes. Its armor mode is great, however.

Thats what i thought when i saw him.
By far the best pcc to date. Great tank mode, cool bot mode and his power up mode looks awesome, especially with the Combaticons attached.
Minicon has diverse modes that work well with vehicle, robot and as armour. My Groundspike doesn't have paint on his face so it's like he doesn't have one. Otherwise a total win.

This guy is awesome...he just seems to have so much
personality for a scout sized figure...& the fact I only
paid $8.00 for him doesn't hurt either...

:D

I love this guy too, but I wonder why all the pics I've seen of him show the tank barrell pointing up straight over his head, when it should be over to one side allowing the other weapon , the big cannon, to flip out over his shoulder? I didn't realise the cannon even existed until I happily discovered it when I opened mine yesterday.

This guy is just fun, Once I got that unlike classics which are clearly for us older fans the PCCS are TOYS for KIDS to have FUN with I started to love these guys. Just need some of the five packs now.

Just opened mine, and even just assessed as a scout, forgetting he's PCC or works with FP Bruticus, I think he's excellent. Intuitive, gratifying transformation, and looks good in both modes. Only complaint, and it's slight, is that the arms could use more rotation articulation.
