Steamhammer with Constructicons

You’d think that my review of Grimstone an the Dinobots would mean that I’d decided to drop the Power Core Combiners from my pull list of Transformer toys, but I’m you’d be wrong. Though I really was disappointed by that first wave 4 set, the second one was enough to keep me on the hook.
Steamhammer and the Constructicons is the second of 2 5-packs in this fourth wave of figures. Unlike the last wave of figures which was entirely made up of re-purposed figures from the first 2 waves, this series is completely new. Both the 5 and 2-packs are molds that we haven’t seen before with new drones and new mini-cons. Sadly, you have to enjoy it while it lasts because wave 5 has only 1 new figure, Undertow with Waterlog.
Yet Steamhammer has a whole lot of awesome to tide you over until that new set comes around.
He comes packaged in his robot form (or the Commander) with the 4 drones surrounding him. It’s a blessedly easy to open pack, with only one paper tie for each toy (or accessory depending on your perception). Once you get through them, it’s easy scheezy. Just pop them out of the plastic bubble.

The Commander form is where we’ll start, because:
- That’s what he comes packaged as, and…
- It’s my LEAST favorite mode on the toy.
Why you ask?
