Toy Fair 2010 - Power Core Combiners to Feature Interchangeable Parts, Dual Head

By bwbm on Saturday, February 13, 2010

Live at Toy Fair, we have been given a very detailed look at how the Transformers: Power Core Combiners work and it will really throw you for a loop. Everything that you've enjoyed in the interchangeable weapons system has now been applied to the interchangeable limb system. Read more to find out!

These figures will blow you away to see them in person. The figures are available - as you probably know - in two packs and five packs and Hasbro really wanted to create an interchangeable piece for new play.

The line is taking two pieces of the lore: Mini-Con and combination play are meshed together to reinvent the playability and story.

The two packs will feature a scout class figure and a Mini-Con, which will provide a new source of play.

The five packs will feature one scout-sized figures and four legend drones. These drones are either arms or feet. They are spring loaded vehicles and when attached to the pegs on the scout figures, the figure automatically convert to robot limbs.

The scouts are actually larger than most scouts that you see, although for such little guys, they have a lot of playability.

Each scout figure have three modes: robot, vehicle, and power-up. The power-up mode is activated when four limbs have been attached to the figure, and another head - available on all scout class figures - can be flipped up and be used as the combiner head. So that means, yes, each figure will have two heads.

It should also be noted that every drone limb fits with any scout figure. You can begin to combine drone limbs to other scout figures and create endless capabilities. You can even name him Sally Ann.

Mini-Cons have the capability of four modes: robot, weapon, vehicle weapon mode, and power-up.

Figures shown at the show include:
Two-Pack
+ Huffer with Caliburst
+ Searchlight (Autobot) with Backwind
+ Smolder (Decepticon) with Chopster

Wave 2 Preview
+ Icepick with Chainclaw
+ Leadfoot with Pinpoint

Five-Pack
+ Commander Bombshock - Team Combaticons, all except commander are drones.
+ Commbander Skyburst - Team Arielbots

Wave 2 Preview
+ Mudslinger - Team Destructicons
+ Doubleclutch - Team Rallybots

Well... they will look cute on the shelves, so tiny !!! The 2-pks look OK, and I love the burning Con on the "firetruck". BUT the combiner 5-pks look like Good news for me is, except for the Animated & Generations lines, I'll be saving loads of $$$. ... read more

Agreed, but to reiterate what I said earlier, why wouldn't kids want four more actual Transformers? To me, the idea that kids would rather have four drones that change into arms and legs automatically, instead of normal toys like their other Transformers, is silly.

I will cut Hasbro some slack when they actually give the fans what we have been yammering on about for the last 20 years! Give us a decent and proper gestalt figure with actual hands and feet(sorry but just the notion that an outside company made an otherwise okay gestalt great with relatively ... read more

their supose to be large scouts. I'm figuring they won't be much bigger then an Energon scout or maybe a Real Gear, as the size in that class pretty much shrunk when they returned in the movie line

Yeah, because getting five robots to play with instead of one is something that kids would find boring.

I agree about the childish part, but not about cutting Hasbro some slack. Tim is right, it's been over 25yrs and for all but the last 2 (by time these get released) combiners have had no problem working as part of the larger whole, while still having an independent robot and alt mode. What th... read more

I like the ones that come with the mini-cons. I could care less about the combining aspect. Yes, Bruticus looks better than Superior, but that's not saying much. Honestly, I'm not bothered that the drones lack a robot mode. I'm more upset over the lack of feet and hands (again). For... read more
