I actually really like it, but it doesn't really shout Huffer to me.
It reminds me more of Energon Landquake, especially the inner robot. Actually the robot mode looks a lot like Swindle to me.
Yes
Only if cheap

Recently got this toy. He has the best Mini-Cons out of all the 2-pack PCC Commanders IMO.
He evokes "Huffer" a _lot_ more than Searchlight evokes "Searchlight"!

Am i seriously the only one to break Calibursts head off? lol
I was folding his arms in for the first mode and i swear, if you fold them in until they're parallel with each other (so the half circles sit close together, like they look like they should), his head is protruding too much.
I wasn't paying attention and POP off went his head.

3 solid modes, but the Minicon has some design problems where the wing-gear thingies can't close properly against the head but it gets in the way.

Admittedly I'm a bit behind the times, but I was initially turned off by Huffer's awful orange bonnet and I refused to buy him.
But I noticed the new stock the put out at my K-Mart had a running change so the color now matches the rest of the body (most likely it's common knowledge, but it was news to me and I just had to pick him up).
He's not Huffer to me beyond Orange/Blue/Truck, and I'm suprised Hasbro wanted to bring the name back, given its modern connotations. But the alt mode works well and it has a decent robot mode, despite not being able to "hold" his weapon. If only because that means he can't hold other weapons as well.
I'm a fan of the PCC gimmick - I believe it's one of the better ones in recent memory. At times I do feel it's let down by poor limb engineering, so they don't hold in place as they should, and a somewhat confused aesthetic. The limbs are very movie-ish, with claws and exposed pistons, the torsos not so much.
But I feel that as toys they're very much more than the sum of their parts.
