Picked up Double Clutch the other day and I have to say I'm presently surprised.

It feels like he is better proportioned than the other PCC 5 packs as he isn't as wide and is much more substantial in the torso i.e. He isn't as flat when viewed from the side.
The only thing I dislike about Double Clutch in torso mode is that the connectors for the drones on the arms point a little backwards which isn't so bad when his arms are at his sides but when they are raised the point out to the the sides a bit as if he's asking for a hug.
Also in robot mode his backpack is a little lose (this could just be mine though).

As for the drones, I think their all great. They are much more solid than the first wave of drones. These ones can be picked up without them half transforming due to gravity.
My only Problem is with the red drone which doesn't seem to transform when i plug it in, however I think this may just be a problem with mine.

I had a similar problem, I found that it was misassembled. There's a little square hole underneath, and a little tab which should be inserted into this - on mine it was not plugged in properly.

This may be the case with yours?

The positives about this figure is that it's the only PCC commander figure I know of that is able to hide its combiner joints in vehicle mode. The commander vehicle mode for Double-Clutch looks awesome too, who knew that silver flames looked good on a bright blue car?

As for the drones both my leg car-drones don't automorph completely when I connect them to Double-Clutch, I have to open up the red car's bonnet and pull back the top of the black car.

The negatives about Double-Clutch is the combiner mode, specifically at the combiner-arm joints. They're both on these panels which are meant to peg into the car body but there are these other panels there that get in the way, making the pegging difficult and thus transformation into a combiner figure more inconvenient than need be.

Overall the appearance of this figure is very pleasing and the transformation is somewhat simple too, save for the difficulty with the leg drones and the combiner arm joint setup.

Of the 5-Pack PCC figures, Double Clutch is my favorite because of his least-combiner-kibbled vehicle mode. If you don't have any 5 pack PCCs yet, then this one is my first recommendation followed by Mudslinger, Skyburst and then Bombshock.

BOught one, dissapointed coz the pegs on Doubleclutch keep popping out, seems the peg and the holes are mismatched in size. Hard to keep him in combined mode what with the middle bot always breaking apart in form, its annoying.

you should return it or exchange it.

I like this mould. The only down side is that his right foot when combined needs to be pushed in properly or it pops out. The drones also look with Huffer
