Smolder (PCC)

Smolder is a Decepticon Commander from Power Core Combiners.

"You're making the fires worse!" "Worse, or better?"

Smolder uses the powers granted to him by his new Mini-Con partner, Chopster, to act on all the grudges he's accumulated over the years. Everyone's on his list, and everyone will pay. On his down-time from grudge-holding/revenge-getting Smolder appreciates the destructive beauty of a good structure fire and can be counted on to add to any he might happen across rather than extinguish it. His favorite mode for Chopster is definitely the fire axe.

I will never fall in love because I work all day and all night as an axe cop.

Smolder and Chopster arrived on the scene of a huge fire in Scramble City, with fire trucks and firemen nearby. One of the firemen asked Smolder's holographic driver to help them put it out, but Smolder expressed his love of fire. Chopster then activated his flamethrower and set the building even more ablaze, causing it to explode. The devious duo transformed, and Smolder ordered Chopster to destroy the fire hoses so that Scramble City would go up in flames!

Bumblebee and Ratchet arrived on the scene not long after, and Chopster emerged from the thick smoke and distracted the both of them. Smolder sped out of the billowing smoke and almost rammed Bumblebee and Ratchet. He then braked, allowing Chopster to bathe him in flames. Ratchet was able to knock out Chopster with his EMP, and Smolder transformed and threw him at Bumblebee. The plucky Autobot then charged Smolder, but the Decepticon fire truck was able to subdue him just as Ratchet charged up his EMP blaster. The blast shut down Smolder as he attempted to transform, leaving his legs as the front of his vehicle mode.

Yeah, I stole the other bastard's shtick. Get over it.

• Smolder w/ Chopster (Commander Class, 2010)

Part of the first wave of Power Core Combiners Commander Class figures, Smolder is a Scout-sized fire department brush truck who transforms into a robot. Smolder can swap between his normal head and a larger head so that he can also serve as a torso for Power Core Combiner drone-limbs. His chestplate has a flip-up Mini-Con Powerlinx peg that allows him to use any Mini-Con as chest armor, though the nominal choice is his pack-in partner Chopster.

This mold was also used to make Stakeout.
