I actually quite enjoyed the PCC line.
Granted they had no back stories, but a few of them used G1 names, of characters that would be quite down the line in the list of Hasbro's priorities to make into a Deluxe sized fig. I usually have them standing with Classics toysTheir toyish colour schemes also appealed to me
The toys on their own would never be worth the RRP, but I was luckily able to gt all of them through Woolies by chance. At $12-14(?) per 2-pack, I found them worth their price.
I agree with most of Goki's comments, however I actually prefer my minicons to be accessories for Deluxe+ sized toysMicromasters themselves never made sense to me story-wise - How is a tiny garishly coloured car suppose to be much of a disguise? Would have strongly preferred it for the minicon partners to not have been made of translucent plastic.
