Stakeout (PCC)

This article is about the Autobot Commander from Power Core Combiners. For the Autobot Micromaster from Generation 1, see Stakeout (G1).

Stakeout is an Autobot Commander from the Power Core Combiners portion of the live-action film series continuity family.

For all your vampire revival needs.

Once upon a time, Stakeout was a lone-wolf loose cannon, a rebel who acted against orders, determined to stop the Decepticons on his own... and on his own terms. Undergoing the Power Core Combination process has had a leavening effect on Stakeout, and becoming a Commander has taught him some of the responsibilities that come with great power.

Fiction

Stakeout and his drones, speculated by fans to be from Uniend, took part in Cybertron's Got Talent and dazzled audiences with their Power Core Combination.

Power Core Combiners

• Stakeout with Protectobots (Commander Class, 2010)

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 (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

• 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.
