Power Core Combiners

2010-06-26T17:40:10Z

97.112.143.136: /* Commander 2-packs */ - news from Botcon 2010

{{disambig2|the real-world toyline|the in-fiction technology|Power Core Combination}}

[[Image:PCCLogo.jpg|center]]

'''Power Core Combiners''' is a subline within the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] franchise and carries with it all the [[continuity]] ambiguity that that entails. Its aesthetic and limited fiction seem inspired by the [[live-action film series]], but nothing can be said for certain.

The design of the toys relies heavily on the titular [[gimmick]], [[Combiner|combination]]. Every main character is a "[[Commander (PCC)|Commander]]" sold with either a [[Mini-Con]] (which connects in several configurations) or a set of four [[drone]] vehicles (which connect as limbs to form a larger robot). The Mini-Cons and drones can be attached to any Commander, so hundreds of combinations are possible between all of the figures.

Unlike the Mini-Cons of [[Unicron Trilogy|previous]] [[Classics (2006)|lines]], the Power Core Combiner Mini-Cons lack their own independent vehicle or animal modes. Rather, they turn from robots into accessories for their Commanders. In vehicle mode, a Commander can use a Mini-Con as a weapon or tool. In robot mode, a Commander can wield a Mini-Con as a hand-held weapon or wear him as armor.

The drones are similar to ''[[Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]]'s "[[Prime Force]]", being vehicles with no robot modes. In fact, they are even more limited than the Prime Force, as an arm-drone cannot become a leg-drone (or vice versa). However, the fact that there are several teams of drones who can be swapped among Commanders adds a [[Special Teams|Scramble-City-esque]] dimension of play. Also, people who love [[Transformer]]s but hate transforming can breathe easy in the knowledge that the drones [[Automorph Technology|automorph]] into and out of limb mode simply by being plugged into and removed from a Commander.

==Toys==
===Power Core Combiners===
====Commander 2-packs====
Each 2-pack contains a Commander (who turns into a robot and a vehicle) and a Mini-Con (who turns into a robot and various accessory modes for the Commander). Each Commander also has a torso mode with a different head, and this can be combined with any of the drone sets from the 5-packs (see below). Commanders also have standard Mini-Con ports, so they are compatible with any Mini-Cons, not just the transparent, [[neon]]-colored new ones.

'''Wave 1'''
* [[Huffer (PCC)|Huffer]] (semi cab) and [[Caliburst (PCC)|Caliburst]]
* [[Searchlight (PCC)|Searchlight]] (rescue helicopter) and [[Backwind]] (winch)
* [[Smolder]] (fire department brush truck) and [[Chopster]] (axe)
{{comingsoontoy}}

'''Wave 2'''
* [[Icepick (PCC)|Icepick]] (snowcat arctic vehicle) and [[Chainclaw (PCC)|Chainclaw]]
* [[Leadfoot (PCC)|Leadfoot]] (F1 racer) and [[Pinpoint]]
* [[Sledge (PCC)|Sledge]] (rockwheel trencher construction vehicle) and [[Throttler]] (drill)
{{comingsoontoy}}

'''Future Waves'''
* [[Windburn (PCC)|Windburn]] (Searchlight redeco) and [[Darkray (PCC)|Darkray]]
* [[Darkstream (PCC)|Darkstream]] (Skyburst redeco) and [[Razorbeam (PCC)|Razorbeam]]
* [[Steelshot (PCC)|Steelshot]] (Bombshock redeco) and [[Pinpoint (PCC)|Pinpoint]]
{{comingsoontoy}}

====5-packs====
Each 5-pack contains a Commander (who turns into a robot and a vehicle) and four drones (which turn into vehicles and limbs). The drones have an [[Automorph Technology|automatic]] "deploy" transformation when they attach and an automatic retract feature to vehicle mode when detached. Arm-drones and leg-drones cannot swap functions. Each drone has Mini-Con [[Powerlinx]] [[peg|hardpoint]]s. Any set of drones can combine with any Commander, even the ones sold in 2-packs.

'''Wave 1'''
* [[Bombshock (PCC)|Bombshock]] ([[Combaticon (PCC)|Combaticons]])
* [[Skyburst]] ([[Aerialbot (PCC)|Aerialbots]])

{{comingsoontoy}}

'''Wave 2'''
* [[Double Clutch (PCC)|Double Clutch]] ([[Rallybot]]s)
* [[Mudslinger (PCC)|Mudslinger]] ([[Destructicon (PCC)|Destructicon]]s)
{{comingsoontoy}}

'''Future Waves'''
* [[Stakeout (PCC)|Stakeout]] (Smolder Redeco) ([[Protectobot (PCC)|Protectobot]]s)
* [[Crankcase (PCC)|Crankcase]] (Huffer Redeco) ([[Stunticon (PCC)|Stunticon]]s)

====Commander 2-packs====
Each 2-pack contains a Commander (who turns into a robot and a vehicle) and a Mini-Con (who turns into a robot and various accessory modes for the Commander). Each Commander also has a torso mode with a different head, and this can be combined with any of the drone sets from the 5-packs (see below). Commanders also have standard Mini-Con ports, so they are compatible with any Mini-Cons, not just the transparent, [[neon]]-colored new ones.

====5-packs====
Each 5-pack contains a Commander (who turns into a robot and a vehicle) and four drones (which turn into vehicles and limbs). The drones have an [[Automorph Technology|automatic]] "deploy" transformation when they attach and an automatic retract feature to vehicle mode when detached. Arm-drones and leg-drones cannot swap functions. Each drone has Mini-Con [[Powerlinx]] [[peg|hardpoint]]s. Any set of drones can combine with any Commander, even the ones sold in 2-packs.
