Power Core Combiners

[edit]
  • Stakeout with Protectobots (Commander Class, 2010)
  • Accessories: "APC Drone", "Fighter Jet Drone", "Helicopter Drone", "Mobile Artillery Drone"
  • Known designers: Eric Siebenaler (Hasbro), Andrew Scribner (deco artist)
Released in the third wave of Power Core Combiners Commander Class packs, Stakeout is a redeco of Smolder, a Scout-sized robot who transforms into a white rescue truck. He can swap between his normal head and a larger head so that he can also serve as a torso for his Protectobots or any other Power Core Combiner drone-limbs. Stakeout's chestplate has a flip-up Mini-Con Powerlinx peg that allows him to use any Mini-Con as chest armor, though he doesn't come with one.


  • Power Core Combiners Value Pack (Value Pack, 2011)
Stakeout was 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 a grand total of ten dollars ($20 less than normal retail for such a pairing).
Stakeout has been found with the Heavytread/Groundspike, Huffer/Caliburst, Searchlight/Backwind and Skyhammer/Airlift 2-packs attached.

Notes

[edit]
  • Due to the vague continuity of the Power Core Combiners line, it's possible that he is the same character as Generation 1 Stakeout. Or he could just be another guy who's kind of like him. It happens. Axiom Nexus News Editor referenced this as "Conflicting evidence suggests that he might instead hail from the Tyran or the Primax cluster."
