While you'd never expect Power Core Combiners to share the silver-screen with Bumblebee and Optimus Prime in the live action movies, they certainly are sharing retail shelves and the same Universe. Courtesy of TFclub at Taobao, we've got a biography of an upcoming Power Core Combiner Two-Pack, Salvage with Bomb-Burst. Salvage is a repaint of Mudslinger, while Bomb-Burst is a repaint of Chainclaw. Check out the biography below!

SALVAGE has gone through a lot since the ALLSPARK first brought him to life. A few rounds of upgrades brought his vehicle mode into the modern era, and the power core process powered him up to unheard of levels. He`d still rather be back at the junkyard, but if the DECEPTICONS want a fight, he`s ready to give them one.

Interesting...

The funny thing is the name is Salvage, but the colors are all Blowpipe:

However, I really think the Salvage got a downgrade here. But, Bomb-Burst is wicked cool.

LOL

The Green Vers. was called Mudslinger, but these are the colors of the G1 micromaster.

red mini-con I like, but doesn't fit Bomb-Burst, I'd name swap him with
Undertow's mini-con and call him "waterlog" from armada in updated form.

I like the red version of this missile launcher mold, but really dislike the monster truck commander.
I'm kind of hoping Hasbro issues a minicon pack like Takara is doing, so I can use them with other figures and not waste money on ugly PCC scouts

I'm hoping, in addition to Mini-Con bundle packs, that Hasbro release sets of drones for some of the twin-pack commanders. It could be called an 'upgrade' for said character in the storyline.

I'm surprised we haven't seen any plans for better drones by 3rd party companies.

Bombshock, Crankcase, and Skyburst are practically begging for tiny Combaticons, Stunticons, and Aerialbots that skip the automorph features in favor of robot modes. If they wanted to get really creative, they could design Minicons to take the place of the spare parts common in G1 gestalts - with one purchase you could upgrade a PCCombiner from a single guy with four drones, to a gestalt of 10 characters.

But Crankcase leads the Destrons. It's the unnamed one that leads the Stunticons.

I still can't believe that Power Core Combiners has been woven into the movie universe. Then again, Smolder and Chopster did appear in a web show which is part of the movieverse, so it shouldn't really be a surprise. Also, Steamhammer's bio suggests a possibility of the 'other Constructicon team' being the pile of wreckage at the base of the pyramids.

What PCC's need first and foremost is limbs that actually allow the figures to stand solidly. Anything after that is icing on the cake. Though, the idea of turning the G1/Energon hands and feet accessories into minicons is awesome, if not sheer brilliance. If Hasbro continues the PCC "experiment," I hope they pick up some inspired ideas like this one :)

Actually If It Is THAT Salvage, It's The Red Truck With The Sparkplug And Son Logo On The Doors, Released With The Transformers Waves From The First Movie, It Was Later Repainted Into Blowpipe For That Other Boxset...

I Would Add A Link, But I Haven't Mastered That Skill Yet.
