: Throttler was available only with his partner Sledge as part of the second wave of ''Power Core Combiners'' Commander Class figures. Throttler transforms from a robot into a drill that can be attached to any robot with a [[Powerlinx]] hardpoint, as well as "body armor" for Commanders in either of their robot modes. In drill mode, Throttler's head is a [[5mm post|5mm]] Powerlinx hardpoint, allowing him to be held in a bulk's hand, or attached to any other Mini-Con via Powerlinx socket. The drill section can also rotate separately from the connector/front torso section... in theory. In reality, the joint is so tight that it's actually easier to spin him around on a Powerlinx hardpoint, but you probably shouldn't do ''that'' either. That problem was eventually fixed in later runs. | :Throttler was available only with his partner Sledge as part of the second wave of ''Power Core Combiners'' Commander Class figures.
