	~~Powerlinx was no longer associated with Mini-Cons and larger robots linking together, but with the Autobots~~ (~~Combat/Deluxe class and upwards~~) combining with one another (figures would have Powerlinx ports, essentially a set of interlocking tabs, somewhere on them; they would often be hidden away somehow by panels or the transformation) or with some auxiliary drones that were packaged with them (for these ones, normal tabs and pegs would be the way to combine) to create larger robot toys. Combat/Deluxe and Mega Combat/Voyager class Autobot toys could combine with one another, Commanders/~~Ultra class Autobots could only combine with whatever auxiliary unit was included in their package while Leader class Optimus Prime could combine with his included [[Prime Force~~]] ~~drones, the Mega Combat class [[Wing Saber (Energon)\|Wing Saber]] and the Supreme class~~ [[~~Omega Supreme~~ (~~Energon~~)\|~~Omega Supreme]].~~

	~~Toys came with different color Powerlinx symbols to indicate how they combine:~~

	~~==Notes==~~
	*[[~~Cyber Planet Key]]s do not Powerlinx. Well, except [[Demolishor~~ (~~Armada~~)\|~~Demolishor~~]]~~'s. And deluxe~~ [[~~Optimus Prime~~ (~~Armada~~)\|~~Optimus Prime~~]]~~'s.~~
	*~~The ''Energon'' Autobots' Powerlinx feature recycles a gimmick originally used by the [[Multiforce]].~~
	*~~In Japanese the effect of Mini-Cons connecting to bulks was called "~~[[~~Pokeformers~~\|~~Evolution]]" and the process of Autobots combining was known as "Super Link", with no implication they are related.~~
	*If you think about it, [[Enerchange]] is a ''[[Micronauts]]~~'' counterpart to Powerlinx.~~
