So the whole thing is nothing more than glorified multi-mode Powerlinking? :shock:

Interesting new pictures of another PowerCore Combiner have surfaced.

Of particular note are references to Mini-Cons and four different modes for said Mini-Con.

We'll bring you more news as it comes in.

Well, from the image we can see that this Decepticon's Mini-Con's name is Chopster... And it definitely fits with the packaging sample of Huffer and Caliburst in terms of how the figures look (Movie-esque with a transparent plastic Mini-Con)
I'm interested to see the "Power-up Armor" modes, though...

So it's a cross up between targetmasters and godmasters. Interesting. I don't care for a decepticon fire truck though, but I do love a bad guy with an axe to grind.

So it's a Targetmaster, a Powermaster, and a Breast Force thing all in one?! OMG this is so awesome! I wonder who this is though. It's a red fire truck, but it's a Decepticon. And we still don't know what line this will be under, but I'm thinking movie judging from the style of the robot and the packaging, and I think the Con symbols might be the movie ones.

I guess breastmaster would be a more accurate mention above godmaster. That reminds me. I need a Victory Dezsaras.

So who is that in the pic? Inferno?

This is akin to Transformers pornography.

I think I may need 10 minutes alone.

Looks good. I really like how these Mini-Cons turn into equipment for their larger friends than absuredly dinky vehicles. They also appear larger and must be more complex to be 4-changers. It's more play value and makes a hell of a lot more sense than being canonically scaled for 6 inch tall humans.

Very nice to finally see toy technology carry all these sublines into a single line. I hope it's Universe 3.0, the last generation didn't have nearly enough new molds. The symbol is harder to say, but I'm saying leaning towards the larger eyes of the non-movie lines.

tis intresting. hopefully they'll bringing back the best of the Armada concept.
dont think im going to pick this one up however.

first glance at the robot pick made me think "optimus? " but clearly not.

perhaps our first Flatline toy?

Truck mode looks very nice from this picture, i like it, and robot mode looks pretty good too. These seem very interesting. I do love Truckformers, so this looks great so far.

I think I need a napkin....

Towards the top left of the first image the border seems eerily similar to that of the ROTF line..Honestly as much as I enjoyed it, it's time for something new..Maybe it will tie into a new cartoon coming up on the new network?

Well I'll be. Hasbro actually listens. Target, Breast, and maybe even Power Masters. Can we hope...dare I say it for Headmasters.

The Truck looks fairly interesting,. and there's just something about translucent weaponry that just makes a toy that much more bad ass.

So the minicon partner turns into an Axe type thing, a tank or treaded vehicle, a tiny robot, and a gun, cannon turret thing. So cool... So...Very...Very...Cool.
:APPLAUSE:

I agree..It's nice to see something not based on a Bayformer..It is defintley interesting..

No matter how many times i hear it..Breast force makes me chuckle just a bit

No worries. Do some digging and look at the mock-up with Huffer in the original post. Assuming that's a legimate sample, it's clearly NOT a Movie line Autobrand. If this tied to the new cartoon I will believe there is still good in the world. Between this and War on cybertron, I'm in my happy place.

I saw "er" at the end of his name so Incinerater maybe. That would be a cool name for a Decepticon Fire truck or is it Incinerator if thats the case I have no clue. I need more information.

does anyone else think that if it was painted black it'd make a pretty niffty "trailbreaker" ?

by **heltskelt** » Wed Jan 20, 2010 1:59 pm

I like the aesthetic, eventhough it's close to the movies'. It says that the minicons may attach to any commander... how many commanders will there be? I really want to see the "body armor" mode.

Yeah, you're right, it would make a good Tailbreaker!

Squeeee!

More Mini-cons make me happy.

This looks pretty damn cool.

by **Rockdown** » Wed Jan 20, 2010 2:55 pm

It looks like slag, a backward step. Bring back transformers animated (without the Sumdacs).

I really hope these figures arent going to be reliant on the minicon to do simple tasks like transform or unlock a weapon. Being a weapon or armor is cool just dont make the figure need to have a minicon. I am glad to see target masters again. i always liked the concept. And the design of the figures are looking good so far.
