	'''Power Core Combination''' is a technology that allows [[Transformer]]s to [[Combiner\|combine]] with either [[Mini-Con]]s or [[drone]] teams. Introduced in the modern day through a joint effort between the [[Autobot]]s and [[human]]kind and subsequently stolen by the [[Decepticon]]s, the increased spread of the technology's use has seen both factions upgrade many of their existing troops to be able to use the technology, with great success.

	Power Core Combination is an ancient technology lost in the early stages of the war on [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]]. [[Transformer]]s who had a potential for combination (known as "[[Proto-Combiner]]s") were doomed to two unsavory options: either live with a permanent sense of incompleteness, or submit to the horrifying Gestalt Process. The Process was the Decepticons' substandard attempt at re-creating Power Core technology, and they succeeded in their physical aim but destroyed the minds of the participants. The monstrous [[Devastator (~~ROTF~~)\|Devastator]] was a prime example. The [[Autobot]]s made more careful attempts, but they still inflicted mental damage. Proto-Combiners who abstained and tried to live as individuals may have spared their own sanity, but they were still pitied in larger Cybertronian society.		{{note\|The fiction attached to this toyline is not explicitly set in any larger [[continuity]]. The references that it contains and the other fiction its characters have appeared in largely suggest that it's part of the [[live-action film series]]. But there are also [[The Transformers (franchise)\|''Generation 1'']] connections, and [[Hasbro]] has said that ''Power Core Combiners'' "basically exist their own."
