Really? Seriously?? So we're trying to pull in the little girls, now? What's next, they all settle their differences over a tea party?

Read who's comments? Who's Hydra, and where are the comments I'm supposed to have read? O.o And it makes absolutely no sense to me why it would be firing a rainbow-colored beam. Then I realized that this is Japanese, and it suddenly doesn't bother me anymore. I read that as coming from Hasbro, and my hatred for them momentarily blocked out the fact that this is from Takara. I'm used to Japanese stuff being weird, so it doesn't bother me coming from them.

The story of the Power Core Combiners will be continued on the back of each package, focusing on that character's/characters' interaction with the plot.
As can be seen, there are a number of references back to the G1 cartoon shows, both US and Japanese. Perhaps easiest for US fans to pick out is the return of the Autobots' human ally, Chip Chase! Now a professor, it seems that Chip has graduated from tearing up computer disks with his bare hands and moved onto creating massively powerful armaments for the Autobots.
Jetmaster originally comes from the planet Zone (which was once known as the planet Micro, before extensive defense systems bulked up the planet's surface), the home planet of the Micromasters in the Transformers: Zone anime. As an extension of this, the limb drone names are also taken from Zone; there's Zone Drone and Micro Drone which have already been explained. Then there's Feminia Drone. Feminia first appeared in The Story of Super Robot Life Forms manga, then again appeared in Transformers: Headmaster cartoon. However in Zone, Feminia became a battleground between Violen Jiger's Generals and the Autobots, as the heroes tried to stop the Decepticons from finding the Zodiac Energy source. The Tenth Drone takes its name from the Tenth Planet, a planet in the Milky Way undiscovered until Zone. It was the birthplace of Violen Jiger, where the souls of many deceased Decepticons merged together to form an immense evil. Later with the Zodiac Power, the Autobots defeated Violen Jiger with their "Rainbow Powered Attack" and transformed the Tenth Planet into a paradise. Which would be why the Tenth Drone has a rainbow-colored attack.
So then just who is Jetmaster? A blue and gold expert spy from the Planet Zone, and a story title like "The Mighty Bolt", would have one thinking that he just might be Tread Bolt from the Micromaster Sky Patrol Team.

I had a feeling about that, since battles with "Novabots" was mentioned (albeit simulated). That instantly reminded me of Dark Nova and his Novaroids.

Posted: Sat Sep 22, 2012 12:08 pmI wouldn't say that, since the Six-Combiners were originally born from their Seiberdroid forms in the early 1980s. And even then, Sixliner was around before this story in the Return of Convoy fiction.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:So in a sense, the Micromaster Six-Combiners and the Japanese Power Core ones can be considered the results of the same type of research?

If that's the case, can we expect most, if not all Commanders to be Micromaster characters?
All of the characters appearing are based on pre-existing characters, but not all of them necessarily come from the G1 cartoon. Not all have been given toys before, either.
