:''Bombshock is a [[Decepticon]] [[Commander (PCC)|Commander]] from ''[[Power Core Combiners]]''.''

Once a member of an elite Cybertronian military unit, '''Bombshock''' committed an act of betrayal that attracted the attention of the Decepticons. He's since been rewarded with the rank of Power Core Commander, and now a team of unstoppable [[Combaticon (PCC)|Combaticon]] drones is at his fingertips.

*'''Commander Bombshock with Combaticons''' (Power Core Combiners 5-pack, 2010)
: Part of the first wave of ''Power Core Combiners'' 5-pack figures, Bombshock is a Scout-sized military truck who transforms into a robot. He can also swap heads and transform into a torso for his four Combaticon drones, or serve as a torso for any other Commander figure's Power Core drones. His armored car drone appears to be an homage to G1 Swindle.

:Unfortunately, Bombshock and his drones have several design flaws and [[quality control]] issues. Bombshock suffers from the problem of the spring-loaded, automorphing drones being unable to provide solid, stable feet to balance the combined mode. Meanwhile, the folded-out hands on the arm drones do not lock into place, and thus "flop around" during play. In general the drones have a tendency to detach from Bombshock when they are moved.

: This mold was used to make [[Steelshot]].

==Notes==
* Bombshock's bio states that he was once a "member of the most elite unit in the Cybertronian military." Whether this was the [[Elite Guard]] or the [[Wreckers]] or some other elite military group is unknown. It might even be a reference to the [[Micromaster]] [[Military Patrol]], led by [[Bombshock (G1)|Generation 1 Bombshock]]!

'''Skyburst''' isn't sure he deserves being equipped with the [[Aerialbot (PCC)|Aerialbot]] drones. To be one of the first given control over Power Core [[drone]]s is an amazing honor bestowed upon only the best of the best, but Skyburst is just a search and rescue expert. Surely the drones should go to the 'Bots on the front lines. Skyburst doesn't understand that his dedication to helping the helpless is more than deserving of recognition.

*'''Skyburst with Aerialbots''' (Commander Class, 2010)
: Part of the first wave of ''Power Core Combiners'' 5 Packs, Skyburst is a Scout-size jet, based on the fictional [[wikipedia:Fictional military aircraft#Mikoyan MiG-31 (fictional)|Firefox MiG-31]], who transforms into a robot. His drones, the Aerialbots, can automatically transform from vehicle to limb using [[Automorph Technology]] when clipped onto Skyburst. When detached, they transform back to vehicle mode. His fighter jet drone appears to homage G1 Skydive.

:Unfortunately, Skyburst and his drones have several design flaws and quality control issues. Skyburst suffers from the problem of the spring-loaded, automorphing drones being unable to provide solid, stable feet to balance the combined mode, and the general shape of some of the drones make it hard to connect most of them to the torso, this essentially is the reverse problem of [[Bombshock (PCC) |Bombshock]]. The F-15 Eagle drone also apears to have the intention to have the wings automotph, but there appears to be a tab missing to transform it that way and stay like that.

: This mold was used to make [[Darkstream]].

Double Clutch (PCC)

'''Double Clutch''' is a long-time expert on using diversions to confuse and disrupt [[Decepticon]] activities, and it's all thanks to his [[Rallybot]]s. The drones under his command are fast and noisy enough to disrupt enemy optical and audio sensors, and also have a variety of built-in electronic countermeasures that can really mess up Decepticon tactics.

*'''Double Clutch with Rallybots''' (Commander Class, 2010)
: Part of the second wave of ''Power Core Combiners'' 5-Packs, Double Clutch is a Scout-sized muscle car. His drones, the Rallybots, can automatically transform from vehicle to limb using [[Automorph Technology]] when clipped onto Double Clutch. When detached, they transform back to vehicle mode. His racecar limb appears to be an homage to G1 Lightspeed.

:Several [[design flaw]]s have unfortunately plagued Double Punch: an exceptionally loose torso-mode head is but the least of these, as floppy elbow [[ball joint]]s and ill-fitting pegs on his forearms leave his torso-mode shoulder assemblies ''very'' loose and unable to stay pegged in place as the drones are attached. Additionally, through some undefined issue, the red "drag racer" drone does not fully automorph when attached; only its top panel rises up, with the grey panel on the car's underside having to be manually clicked back into place (moving the car's hood in the process).

Mudslinger (PCC)

'''Mudslinger''' is not an "ultimate force of evil." In fact he was the sort of robot who might have gone over to either side in the war. Perhaps if things had gone differently he'd be an [[Autobot]] now, but the choice was made long ago, and he's not one to second guess. Mudlinger lives for action. He has no patience for contemplation or compromise. And peace is just as dull and beneath him. He has decided that the Autobot interest in these things is pathetic, mincing weakness. Now, with his new drone troops, he has the power to show them just how tough he is.

*'''Mudslinger with Destructicons''' (Commander Class, 2010)
: Part of the second wave of ''Power Core Combiners'' 5-Packs, Mudslinger is a Scout-sized monster truck. His drones, the [[Destructicon (PCC)|Destructicons]], can automatically transform from vehicle to limb using [[Automorph Technology]] when clipped onto Mudslinger. When detached, they transform back to vehicle mode.

Despite how tough his bio says he is, the figure ironically has very fragile thigh joints. Several units are reported to break when combined with his Drone limbs so be careful when transforming him!
