Would you buy Power Core Combiner Drone packs?

[Pipesqueak]

No, because I hate the drone concept. I would rather see the 5-pack commanders available by themselves for $15.

I'm sticking to the 2-packs and leaving them as non-gestalts but it's a good idea.

[Gutsman Heavy]

I would if I liked the drones or they went well with one of the 2 pack commanders

I've bought the aerialbots set and put the combaticons on layby. I mean it's all I'm interested in from TF's at the moment. (well maybe the longhaul repaint and some of w3 HFTD figs)

I find them fun yes they're $40 but a deluxe at some places can cost up to $30.

A big NO to the Drones from me. I find that the Transformer concept is wasted on drone limbs.

A Power Core expanision pack of minicons would be much better IMHO

Regarding movie Devastator on the other hand, there could be some argument that he was either bi-locating or there are 2 sets of Constructicons - 1 non-combining robot set and 1 combining, vehicle only set.

Wouldn't purchasing the drones on their own (in 4 packs) be awfully close to collecting Hot Wheels or Matchbox toys?

There's also the issue of matching supplies of 4-pack drones with the numbers of scout-commanders: how many should Hasbro produce and toy retailers buy? Not matching that correctly may result in shelves of unsold drones; or worse, everybody getting scout-commanders with the actual drones themselves being insanely hard to find.

Like getting a ROTF NEST Mindwipe, and end up pulling your hair out looking for ROTF NEST Skystalker (insane, $35+ on eBay - for a scout!) to fill those two holes in his back (or their awesome combined robot mode).

I would buy them if they got rid of the auto morph gimmick and just made Legend size fully articulated limbs for $15-$20/pack

Nailed it. A pack of drones is nothing like a pack of micromasters. You get the drones, then what? You need another toy to use them, they're useless otherwise.

Minicons much better. Drones are just like accessories. It used to work back in the day because you could transform the limbs to bots, and you could use them as arms or legs. Another 20 years forward, 25 years steps back it would seem.
