    Default Powercore Combiners!

    We have a first look at a package mock-up for the next line, with the Power Core Combiners. The two shown are Huffer and Caliburst.

    It basically looks like a Targetmaster which turns into a weapon meant for the vehicle mode, rather than the robot mode.

    I get the feeling we're heading back to Armada.

    Same, I am not too happy about this turn of events - It seems that Hasbro is now once again focusing on a single line wide gimmick than letting the toys be good Transformers.

    I'll wait for more information before I make up my mind - apparently this thing could be the next cartoon too.

    Doesn't look to bad in my opinion, I'm hoping this is the new name for Powermasters??

    It looks to be a new gimmick combining powermasters/targetmasters in one?

    Sort of looks a mix of Classics/Movieverse as well

    There has been a pretty long stream of 'disappointment' coming from main Transformer lines this decade so I will remain skeptical until proven otherwise. If its good then good for everyone, if its bad then I have nothing invested in it.

    I second this, I will wait and see on the finished product before I make any decision. I won't be holding my breathe.

    Looks pretty hot really.

    I'm not seeing too much "movie" in it, more classic styling. With the usual suspects having a whinge, I predict this will end up great.

    Concept sounds intriguing. I'm far more interested in this potential future line than I have ever been by the movie line.

    Paper cutouts surely cannot give us a good indication of what to expect, I mean the movie toy cutouts made them look like utter utter crap...

    the use of translucent plastic may infer that there is an LED feature or similar in the large figure [huffer], that causes the small targetmaster to glow or illuminate when combined.

    I also found this on the net, dont know how true it is so with a grain of salt...

    Let me first say that I am a very lucky person and a very lucky
    Transformer fan. To be in the fortunate position that I am in, I am
    very thankful. It is my wish to share my experiences with you, my
    fellow fans.
    As you obviously know, things have been incredibly busy here at
    Hasbro. With the movie toys in full swing and the remaining few
    Transformers Animated toys going out, there are not enough hours in
    the day to get things done. I just finished specifications on the
    first wave of Power Core Combiner toys this morning.
    Power Core Combiners (PCC) is a little different than what you're
    accustomed to with Transformers. The Powerlinx feature was so
    successful that we have been challenged to create a toyline that can
    be massively combined and reconfigured. Each toy can be disassembled
    and reassembled using components from every other toy in the line.
    Beyond that the toys can be combined as gestalts in a nearly limitless
    number of configurations. In effect all the toys can combine with each
    other simultaneously. Our computer models look promising, the
    engineers have been able to create a gestalt using thirty-two of our
    prototyped toys. It's a really awesome time to be a Transformers fan.
    Like I said, it's incredibly busy and I wanted to shoot this e-mail to
    you while I had a few minutes free. We'll have more for you later.
    From your Transformer insider, Patrick Stewart

    wasn't sure who had had seen it, i have the web address if anyone wants it.There were no pictures

    This line does not overwhelmingly impress me. Im tired of the shelves being full of movie line figures. They clog the shelves. In the last few years the only decent line has been animated. almost everyone loved it, why did they kill it.
