From MediaWiki
| The name or term "Bombshock" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Bombshock (disambiguation). |
- Bombshock is a Decepticon Commander from the Power Core Combiners series.
Once a member of an elite Cybertronian military unit, Bombshock committed an act of betrayal that attracted the attention of the Decepticons. He's since been rewarded with the rank of Power Core Commander, and now a team of unstoppable Combaticon drones is at his fingertips.

Power Core Combiners
- Bombshock with Combaticons (Power Core Combiners 5-pack, 2010)
- Accessories: APC Drone, Armored Car Drone, Missile Carrier Drone, Tank Drone
- Part of the first wave of Power Core Combiners 5-pack figures, Bombshock transforms into a twin-barreled artillery cannon truck of indeterminate model. He also has a "power-up" mode where he becomes the torso of a super robot, capable of using any auto-transforming Power Core Combiner drone-machines for limbs. He comes with his four Combaticon drone-vehicles.
- All known samples of Bombshock have assembly errors in the legs. First, the lower legs are attached to the wrong thighs. While this doesn't affect either robot mode at all, in vehicle mode it makes the wheels uneven, plus difficult to snap the vehicle side-panels properly into place. Thankfully, this is a simple swap since the legs are not "permanently" affixed to the hips. Less easy to fix is that the "power up" mode knee drone-connectors are backwards, giving them a full 90-degree bend in the wrong direction, and limited movement the way they should bend. This requires unscrewing the leg to reverse the joint, but due to the balance issues most power up modes have, few fans really bother with this fix anyway.
- This mold was also 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 Cybertron 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!
