Toys

Power Core Combiners

• Leadfoot with Pinpoint (Commander, 2010)

Part of the second wave of Power Core Combiners Commander-class toys, Pinpoint was available only with his larger partner Leadfoot. He transforms from a small robot into an engine for Leadfoot's vehicle mode, a blaster-cannon for robot mode, as well as armor for any Commander robot when in their super-robot torso mode. His Powerlinx socket is hollow so he can peg onto any 5mm post. However, he cannot activate Powerlinx gimmicks on Armada-era toys.

During the period between 26 December 2010 and 31 January 2011, Hasbro ran their "Supercharge Your Holidays" promotion: for every $20 spent on Hasbro-branded product, customers could receive a free, random product from a list provided by Hasbro. Among the items on the list was "Transformers Combiners & Speed Stars Mini Vehicle". According to this discussion thread on Allspark.com, Leadfoot with Pinpoint was one of the figures distributed.

Notes

• Pinpoint is sculpted to resemble a Generation 1 Powermaster partner figure. He even transforms the same way into engine mode.
• When Artfire's Targetmaster partner appeared in the United comic, he was depicted as a recolor of Pinpoint.
