TRANSFORMERS TOYS AND MERCHANDISE SECTION
Transformers: Power Core Combiners Checklist
The Power Core Combiners are one of the three lines that ran concurrently in 2010, alongside
Generations and the gold-packaging
Transformers line (sometimes known as Hunt for the Decepticons/Reveal the Shield). It consists mostly of combination as a gimmick, and the toyline saw no release in Takara’s line, though the moulds are repainted in 2012’s United EX line. Each figure can form a center piece with any of the limbs in the five-packs.
