Four alt modes that have never been done before, but no, let's make the bulldozer the one with a robot mode. Thanks guys.

Power Core Combiners

[edit]
  • Steamhammer with Constructicons (Power Core Combiners 5-pack, 2010)
Part of the fourth wave of Power Core Combiners 5-pack figures, the Constructicons are a team of four construction vehicles, packed in with their Commander Steamhammer. Each one has a square socket for a Power Core Combiner connection; when attached via the blue plugs on a Commander figure, the vehicles automatically transform into a super-robot limb, and snaps back to vehicle mode when disconnected. Despite the universal connector, each drone can only form one limb type (but can be swapped from left to right):
  • Plow Drone — Leg (Steamhammer's right)
  • Steamroller Drone — Leg (Steamhammer's left)
  • Drill Drone — Arm (Steamhammer's right)
  • Front End Loader Drone — Arm (Steamhammer's left)
Wave 4 only barely made it out to normal retail at first, meaning most fans had to get the Constructicons from online stores. At the latter half of 2011, the later Power Core Combiners 5-packs started showing up at discount chains like Ross, TJ Maxx and Marshalls.
This set of molds was redecoed for release as Buildmaster and his drones.


  • Power Core Combiners Special Value Offer (Value Pack, 2011)
Steamhammer and the Constructicons were also made available as part of a Walmart-exclusive Black Friday "Value Pack", combining a 5-pack team with a Commander 2-pack via packaging tape and a couple of stickers, for the whopping price of ten bucks, merely a third of what the two toys would normally cost.
So far, Steamhammer has been found with the Heavytread/Groundspike, Icepick/Chainclaw, Leadfoot/Pinpoint, Salvage/Bomb-Burst, and Sledge/Throttler 2-packs attached.

Notes

[edit]
  • As the main caption notes, the drone-limbs all have vehicle modes that had never been used in Transformers before.
  • The "Drill" and "Front End Loader" drones are the first Power Core Combiner limbs to feature separate, posable thumb-parts. Those thumbs can pivot from left-handed to right-handed position as needed. (Several other drones have thumb-like protrusions, but they are all immobile outside of basic transformation movement.)
