Smolder (PCC)
- Smolder is a Decepticon Commander from the Power Core Combiners series.
Smolder uses the powers granted to him by his new Mini-Con partner, Chopster, to act on all the grudges he's accumulated over the years. And he has a lot of grudges. Everyone's on his list, and everyone will pay. Oh, how they will pay. Preferably via the cutting edge of Chopster's axe mode.
On his down-time from grudge-holding and revenge-getting, Smolder appreciates the destructive beauty of a good structure fire, and can be counted on to add to any he might happen across. In fact, he will interfere—readily and violently—with any attempts made to extinguish it.

Smolder and Chopster arrived on the scene of a huge fire in Scramble City. One of the firemen attempting to put out the blaze asked Smolder's holographic driver to help them put it out, but Smolder instead expressed his love of fire. Chopster then activated his flamethrower and set the building even more ablaze, causing it to explode. The devious duo transformed, and Smolder ordered Chopster to destroy the fire hoses so that Scramble City would go up in flames!
Bumblebee and Ratchet arrived on the scene not long after, and Chopster emerged from the thick smoke and distracted the both of them. Smolder sped out of the billowing smoke and almost rammed the pair. He then braked, allowing Chopster to bathe them in flames. Ratchet was able to knock out Chopster with his EMP, locking the Mini-Con in axe mode. This didn't particularly bother Smolder, who transformed and threw him at Bumblebee. The plucky Autobot dodged the throw then charged Smolder, but the Decepticon proved to be a formidable hand-to-hand combatant. He was able to beat Bumblebee down, but the fight had given Ratchet time to re-charge his EMP blaster. The blast shut down Smolder as he attempted to transform, leaving him stuck halfway transformed to vehicle mode. Cyber Missions #9

Power Core Combiners
- Smolder with Chopster (Commander Class, 2010)
- Part of the first wave of Power Core Combiners Commander Class figures, Smolder transforms into a fire department brush truck. He also has a secondary "power up" mode, in which he forms a super robot torso; in this configuration he can use the drone-limbs from any 5-pack set to make a new super-robot. His chestplate has a flip-up Mini-Con Powerlinx peg that allows him to use any Mini-Con as chest armor, though the nominal choice is his pack-in partner Chopster.
- This mold was also used to make Stakeout.
