Unless Transformers: Prime delivers, it's unlikely that we'll be seeing Power Core Combiners in any cartoon series. However we get the next best thing, and that's Transformers Cyber Missions! The Ninth episode has found it's way onto Youtube, courtesy of Toys'R'US Hong Kong. This episode features a battle between the Decepticon Smolder with his Mini-con partner Chopster, against the Autobots, Ratchet and Bumblebee. Check out the action on Youtube or embed below!

Hmn. Pretty cool. Need to start watching these more, I think. Does this mean that PCC is a part of the movieverse line though, as I believe HFTD is? Or are they just putting Smolder and Chopster to good use? I'd have thought maybe post classics, but that's just because of Huffer's bio.

Exactly what I was thinking. I haven't been keeping up on these either, the end credits do give a good indication of characters to come tho'.

"Scramble City will burn tonight", somebody has obviously done their homework, hopefully a sign of things to come.

I thought that was a nice touch as well.

Pretty cool. I am happy to see Smolder in action. Hope we see more PCC in these soon!

I have to admit, apart from one episode, I'm really liking this series. I'd put it up there with Beast Wars. Sorry Animated, the crap human villains keep you of the top spot.

The animation seems a lot better in this episode, not that there was anything wrong with the earlier ones. Just seems more polished.

My only complaint is they seem to be using the same voice for all the Decepticons bar Megatron and Soundwave, oh and that Mini-con. It was great for Bludgeon but I just feel they need to vary them up more.

Otherwise, I'm loving this series. They should put them on as extras on the TF3 dvd.

Oh man, I might need to get Chopster, just for his voice!
He's like a baby!

Anyway, lol Ratchet, lol. Also, shouldn't he be in pain, or something.

I agree. But it still was a cool episode like the rest. PCC mini-cons talk exactly how I expected them to.

Chopster reminds me of one of my HMW characters, Blitzblast. He's so adorable, yet deadly! I thought it was funny when he screamed and ran back inside. :lol:

Scramble city is actually the name of the city this time.
Mini cons can talk in the Armada comics and Jolt talked in the Cybertron cartoon.

Yep. They do. I don't remember the Mini-Cons from Armada speaking a language coherent to human ears, but - as the fact that the "bulks" were able to understand them implies they were speaking Cybertronian - they were still speaking.

Edit: Scramble City is likely the actual name of the city here, but it can also be a reference to the fact that legend-class drones can combine with all the commanders, just as all the Scramble City limb figures could combine with various combiner team leaders.

^This. These Cyber Missions always make me laugh. This one was especially enjoyable because I have Smolder and Chopster right next to my computer. =D

Chopster's voice was perfect, though I imagine Smolder sounds like either BW Inferno or Axe Cop.
