Power Core Combiners
Power Core Combiners is a brand new franchise that is ambiguous towards its continuity. Power Core Combiners is another series that uses combining as a major gimmick. The line consists of two major size classes, Commanders with Mini-cons (2 packs) and Commanders with four drones each. (5 packs).
Commanders are able to combine with any of the drones included with 5-packs. You can mix and match the drones, since they have universal pegs like Scramble City-type combiners. Each drone is a vehicle that turns into a limb (no robot modes, similar to Energon Optimus' toy). Plugging the vehicle in causes the drone to automorph into a limb. Unplugging it causes the limb to, what else? Transform back into a vehicle.

Commander 2-packs
Every Commander figure has two heads—one for robot, one for torso. Each Commander has a torso mode that can combine with 5-pack drones (see below), and each set includes a unique Mini-con. Commanders also have Standard Minicon ports, so they are compatible with any Mini-cons, not just the transparent neon colored new ones.
- Huffer (semi cab) and Caliburst
- Smolder (fire department brush truck) and Chopster (axe)
- Searchlight (rescue helicopter) and Backwind (winch)
- Icepick (arctic vehicle) and Chainclaw
- Leadfoot (F1 racer) and Pinpoint
- Sledge (construction vehicle) and Throttler (drill)
5-packs
1 core robot/vehicle & 4 drone-vehicle limbs. Drones can attach to any Commander 2-pack bot to make new combinations. Arm-drones and leg-drones cannot swap functions. The drones have an automatic "deploy" transformation when they attach, and an automatic retract feature to vehicle mode when detached. Each drone has Mini-Con powerlinx hardpoints.
