- Commander Bombshock with Combaticons (Power Core Combiners 5-pack, 2010)
- Part of the first wave of Power Core Combiners 5-pack figures, Bombshock is a Scout-sized military truck who transforms into a robot. He can also swap heads and transform into a torso for his four Combaticon drones, or serve as a torso for any other Commander figure's Power Core drones. His armored car drone appears to homage G1 Swindle.
- Unfortunately, Bombshock and his drones have several design flaws and quality control issues. Bombshock suffers from the problem of the spring-loaded, automorphing drones being unable to provide solid, stable feet to balance the combined mode. Meanwhile, the folded-out hands on the arm drones do not lock into place, and thus "flop around" during play. In general the drones have a tendency to detach from Bombshock when they are moved.
- This mold was used to make Steelshot.
Notes
- Bombshock's bio states that he was once a "member of the most elite unit in the Cybertronian military." Whether this was the Elite Guard or the Wreckers or some other elite military group is unknown. It might even be a reference to the Micromaster Military Patrol, led by Generation 1 Bombshock!
