Rally round the wagon sedan, boys!

Double Clutch is a long-time expert on using diversions to confuse and disrupt Decepticon activities, and it's all thanks to his Rallybots. The drones under his command are fast and noisy enough to disrupt enemy optical and audio sensors, and also have a variety of built-in electronic countermeasures that can really mess up Decepticon tactics.

Power Core Combiners

  • Double Clutch with Rallybots (Commander Class, 2010)
Part of the second wave of Power Core Combiners 5-Packs, Double Clutch is a Scout-sized muscle car. His drones, the Rallybots, can automatically transform from vehicle to limb using Automorph Technology when clipped onto Double Clutch. When detached, they transform back to vehicle mode. His racecar limb appears to be an homage to G1 Lightspeed.
Several design flaws have unfortunately plagued Double Punch: an exceptionally loose torso-mode head is but the least of these, as floppy elbow ball joints and ill-fitting pegs on his forearms leave his torso-mode shoulder assemblies very loose and unable to stay pegged in place as the drones are attached. Additionally, through some undefined issue, the red "drag racer" drone does not fully automorph when attached; only its top panel rises up, with the grey panel on the car's underside having to be manually clicked back into place (moving the car's hood in the process).
