- Sledge with Throttler (Commander Class, 2010)
- 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 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 early runs of the figure, 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. The problem was eventually fixed in later runs.
- During the period between December 26 2010 and January 31 2011, Hasbro ran their "Supercharge Your Holidays" promotion: for every $20 spent on Hasbro-branded product, customers could receive a free, random product from a list provided by Hasbro. Among the items on the list was "Transformers Combiners & Speed Stars Mini Vehicle". According to this discussion thread on Allspark.com, Sledge with Throttler was one of the figures distributed.
- Power Core Combiners Special Value Offer (2011)
- Sledge and Throttler were 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 the whopping price of ten bucks, merely a third of what the two toys would cost nominally.
- So far, Sledge has been found attached to the Crankcase/Destrons, Over-Run/Stunticons and Steamhammer/Constructions sets.
