| The name or term "Destructicon" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Destructicon (disambiguation). |
- The Destructicons are a series of Decepticon drones from the Power Core Combiners portion of the live-action film series continuity family.
Mudslinger was always a brute, but now that he's backed up by the Destructicon drones, look out! Each vehicle is a rough-and-tumble machine, armed and ready for rip up anything in their path.
The Destructicons include:
- Armored Junker Drone
- Armored Truck Drone
- Dune Buggy Drone
- Heavy Hauler Drone
Toys
Power Core Combiners
- Mudslinger with Destructicons (Power Core Combiners 5-pack, 2010)
- Known designers: Eric Siebenaler (Hasbro), Andrew Scribner (deco artist)
- Part of the second wave of Power Core Combiners 5-pack figures, the Destructicons are a set of four armored vehicles like something out of Mad Max. 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 snap back to vehicle mode when disconnected. The armored truck drone sometimes slides in the socket, causing the leg to be on diagonally or even fall off. Despite the universal connector, each drone can only form one limb type (but can be swapped from left to right):
- Armored Junker Drone — Leg (Mudslinger's left)
- Armored Truck Drone — Leg (Mudslinger's right)
- Dune Buggy Drone — Arm (Mudslinger's left)
- Heavy Hauler Drone — Arm (Mudslinger's right)
- This mold-set was used to make Roadmaster's "Prime Mode" drone-limbs. The Armored Junker and Armored Truck Drones were also used to make two of the Stunticons.
- Power Core Combiners Special Value Offer (Value Pack, 2011)
- Mudslinger and the Destructicons were also released 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, and costing all of ten dollars. Wow.
- Mudslinger has been found packed with the Darkstream/Razorbeam, Icepick/Chainclaw, Searchlight/Backwind and Smolder/Chopster 2-packs.
