			== Formatting dronge set pages ==

			Asking this here because it applies to all of them. On the pages for each group of drones is there a standard way of listing them? Alphabetically? In anatomical right-left, arm-leg order? I was thinking of doing some work on [[Constructicon (PCC)]], [[Dinobot (PCC)]] and [[Stunticon (PCC)]] to make them more like the other group pages. There is some variance amongst the other pages and was wondering if they were supposed to be standardized and (if so) what that standard is. --[[User:Khajidha\|Khajidha]] 15:38, 8 March 2011 (EST)

			=="Power Core Combiners are a subline..."==
			''Power Core Combiners is a subline within the 2010 Transformers toyline.''

			Is this a fair assessment? The PCC toys have red cards like the ''Generations'' figures rather than gold cards like the 2010 items. Seems like the sentence should be taken out.

			Though, looking between unopened examples of ''Generations'', Power Core and gold card items right in front of me, it occurs to me that they all have the exact same packaging designs (down to their circuit pattern bubbles), just with different colors and with slightly different background elements between red and gold releases... which almost makes it seem like PCC and ''Generations'' should both be considered sublines of the more omnipresent gold line, but I'm not seriously suggesting the wiki use that approach. However, with the current viewpoint, if ''Generations'' isn't considered part of the 2010 toyline, I don't see why PCC should be.

			Man, this is all so much fuzzier than the distinctions between previous simultaneous lines (2003 Universe/Energon or 2008 Universe/Animated)... --[[User:Monzo\|Monzo]] 01:59, 5 November 2010 (EDT)

PCC has its own little storyline, and I don't think Hasbro has made any effort to explicitly relate it to anything else going on in 2010-TF, so I can see why we've treated it separately so far. (Like I said elsewhere, I'm not personally married to doing it this way, but I see no particular need to change things up either.) - [[User:Jackpot\|Jackpot]] 16:39, 7 June 2010 (EDT)		:::::::In visual presentation, that's true. Unlike most (all?) other franchises, "Power Core Combiners" isn't written as a subtitle to "Transformers" - it's down at the bottom or in a corner of the package, like Powerlinx Battles or [[The Unicron Battles]]. I think that if the 2010 ''Transformers'' were a more cohesive franchise, we might have an easier time folding PCC into it. But because 2010-TF is so nebulous, its sublines have more weight unto themselves.

	:I think this was intended as a "franchise" page (or even a toyline page) when it was first made. The fictional concept does deserve a good work up, but it may belong on another page. However, since according to the intro this toyline is part of the larger TF2010 toyline shouldn't it be merged there? --[[User:Khajidha\|Khajidha]] 07:39, 7 June 2010 (EDT)		:I think this was intended as a "franchise" page (or even a toyline page) when it was first made.

	::Yeah this is written like a franchise page. But Power Core Combiners are an In-Fiction thing. Which means either we need 2 pages, something like: [[Power Core Combiner (franchise)]] and [[Power Core Combiner (technology)]] or this one needs to be revised to be about in-universe stuff first and toyline concerns second. --[[User:ZacWilliam\|ZacWilliam]] 07:50, 7 June 2010 (EDT)		::Yeah this is written like a franchise page.

	::::But that's wrong. We don't cover Powermaster fiction only under [[Powermaster Binary-bonding Combination]] or something like that. We cover it under the regular old Powermasters page because that's where it belong and thats what folks are going to look up. Likewise Power Core Combiner fiction needs to be covered under Power Core Combiners not some wierd secondary page. No other TF combination type is covered that way as far as I know. --[[User:ZacWilliam\|ZacWilliam]] 08:47, 7 June 2010 (EDT)		::::But that's wrong.

	:::::As long as we're saying things like "''[[Bombshock (PCC)\|Bombshock]] is a [[Decepticon]] [[Commander (PCC)\|Commander]] from [[Power Core Combiners]],''" we need to have an out-of-universe "Power Core Combiners" franchise/toyline/whatever page to link to. In fact, even look at the "Bombshock" and "Commander" links - they have "(PCC)" disambigs. We ''could'' change all of that to [[Transformers (2010 toyline)]]... but do we actually want to? At the moment, the PCC brand seems to be a more self-contained, independent entity than Powermasters ever were. - [[User:Jackpot\|Jackpot]] 16:14, 7 June 2010 (EDT)		:::::As long as we're saying things like "''[[Bombshock (PCC)\|Bombshock]] is a [[Decepticon]] [[Commander (PCC)\|Commander]] from [[Power Core Combiners]],''" we need to have an out-of-universe "Power Core Combiners" franchise/toyline/whatever page to link to.

	::::::I just don't see it standing on its own as a franchise. A subline imprint, yes; a franchise, no. It seems much more like [[The Powerlinx Battles\|Powerlinx Battles]] to me. --[[User:Khajidha\|Khajidha]] 16:20, 7 June 2010 (EDT)		::::::I just don't see it standing on its own as a franchise.
