Power Core Combiners

Transformers Power Core Combiners can be dubbed as the ‘all-combiners’ line with a Targetmaster twist. Based on the ‘story’, Power Core Combiners is considered an ancient technology that permits Transformers to merge with it’s partners and in this case is either a Mini-Con Targetmaster or team drones.

The technology known as Power Core technology which were lost in the war. ‘Combinable’ Transformer were known as ‘Proto-Combiners’ were left with no option, either to live in permanent incompleteness (‘handicapped’) or have themselves submit to the ‘Gestalt Process’.

This ancient technology had laid dormant for eons and were then discovered by Autobots on Earth along with the Matrix’s database recovery assisted by the humans. This technology facilitated a symbiosis between a Commander entity with his Mini-Con. This strength perfected attributes of both Transformer besides creating bonds with shared perception.

Commanders that ‘graduate’ will have the privilege to command a team of drones. The bonding attributes was then inherited to the drones where a Commander can install his own memory traces to it’s drone effectively controlling it like the mind’s of the Commander.

The discovery was then stolen by the Decepticons, and they too share the same capability as the Autobots in upgrading themselves to be ‘combinable’ hence giving the Autobots a fair match in Power Core Combiner’s battles.

As a toyline, Power Core Combiner comes in two classes – 2-Packs and 5-Packs. For the 2-Packs, they were consist of a Commander and a Mini-Con partner. The Mini-Con partner will transform into accessories for their Commanders. In alternate mode, a Commander can fully utilize the Mini-Con as a utility such as weapon or tool. In robot mode, a Commander can wield a Mini-Con as a melee weapon, gun or armory.

5-Packs inherits a more traditional gestalt-styled approach minus the capability of each drones to transform therefore the drones are not effective without it’s Commanders. Each drone will form the limbs of the Commander where it can be an arm or leg. They are all interchangable among each other and what is cool about these drones are,  they adopt the first Movie toys Automorph technology so you can save time cracking your head to transform them individually via an effective ‘plug-n-play’ mechanism.
