Resident Malaysian and Energon Pub member TCracker has gotten his hands on a Power Core Combiner from the First Wave. It's Huffer with Caliburst and that's right, it's the first time Huffer gets a retail toy since Generation One! TCracker shows off Huffer in Robot mode, vehicle mode, along with Caliburst and his Power-Up Mode! Check out the images, including pictures of the instructions below!

You'll find TCracker's original post over at Energon Pub Forums! These toys are set for release in August, you can pre-order Huffer along with the rest of Wave One or Individually.

The more I see of these Power Core Combiners the more I want them. This is looking better and better with every one I see. Also, with some clever paint application, that Huffer could pass with a Movie Prime paint job. THEN he'll be in scale with Bonecrusher and Blackout!

EDIT: Actually, looking at him, and the head for the combined form, he'd make a better repaint as Motormaster! That would be awesome! Woefully small, but awesome!

Why does his combined mode head look like Unicron's and ROTF Arcee's lovechild?

I already have Botcon Huffer, but I'll get this one too, though this'll be a different character

Hmmmm...while I like the idea kinda, it's not movie-ish enough and it's too out of scale, will be passing these....but they still are cool.

I have been looking forward to this figure pretty much just to get a classics Huffer, I will probably still get it, but it looking disappointing. Paint apps will help, but I am surprised with the lack of feet, I had hoped it was just camera angle and mistransformation in earlier pics, but it seems PCC Huffer shops in the same shoe store as G1 Astrotrain.

I doubt I will ever get any limbs, so the bright blue plugs will get painted over or cut off, and that translucent minicon will either be painted black and gunmetal or retired altogether.

Hmm. No feet. That's odd. And a G1-ish combiner head, which is kinda cool I guess. Well, another 'maybe' for the PCC line...

I'm pretty excited about the two pack figures but this one looks rather uninspiring.

Is this going on my Classics/Universe shelf? Uh-huh. Are the Combaticons and Aerialbots going on my Classics/Universe shelf too? Is Thriller one of the best songs history? Yeah, thought so :lol:

YES !!!!!! :lol:

I finally get to save some money !!!

by **Dai_Ceefax** » Fri May 21, 2010 6:09 am

From the colour-mapping to the visor/shades, this is pure G1 Huffer. Add an epic little mini-con and I'm more than sold.

Plus, that combiner head is chin-tastic!

interesting.

While I consider these PCC to be bought on sight, there is one problem that continues to vex me. Where exactly do these guys fit in? Classics/Generations? Movieverse? Or something new and separate altogether?
As it is I have no idea what shelf to make room on for them. :???:

by **bagofshhh** » Fri May 21, 2010 6:32 am

I really like the look of this guy, but I'm not crazy about seeing so much of his head in combined mode. They couldn't attempt to hide it at all? :-?

Love. I still want 75 repaints of the PCC Minicons. In every shade ever. And some chromed ones. C'mon TakaraTomy, you know you want to feed my addiction. I'll give you $30 for a Neon Green Chromed Caliburst. Do it.

by **Burnin12** » Fri May 21, 2010 7:30 am

This was the only PCC I was planning on getting to throw in with my Classics and still definitely getting him.

Huffer, Drift and Thrust are the only planed purchases for me of the new releases we've seen.
Not including aftermaret companies. Got enough pre orders from FP and PE to keep me broke for a while.

Still dont know what to make of these guys. It seems like they look awesome in other pics and meh in other pics... Well, i would rather see them in hand and go from there. I think i'll only be picking up two, and thats Huffer and Icepick, then thats it for me, need to save money for re-issues..

Haha thats what popped into my head. Now to figure out which set to custom.

Given that Caliburst transforms into his chest piece, I believe that his robot mode head will be hidden nicely from view.

by **Universal Prime** » Fri May 21, 2010 8:50 am

Anyone else think that this set plus Double clutch's drones would make a good menasor?

I can see hasbro doing the as a repaint later down the line.

Dude, awesome idea! Can't wait to see the first repaint of Motormaster from this guy! :BOOM:

by **Warbreaker** » Fri May 21, 2010 9:05 am

Ooooh, can't wait to get him soon!

His power-up head looks somehow Menasor-ish... with a smile? So Huffer's power-up mode has a reversed personality?

Hmmm... seems only his right arm can hold Caliburst. No biggie.

Hoist, Long Arm, Tow Line, Hauler, or just make one up. But if you already got Botcon Huffer (ya' lucky bastid) and you wanna give this guy a new name, I suggest giving him one that's not got a new toy yet.

Haha hopefully I'll have a new camera by then. I wouldn't mind sacrificing the original chest and minicon to have them display seperately. Now to organize this custom list.

For now though I'm working on the scout class cross over of scout knock-out into WoW qiraji battle tank mount. http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/bas ... llery.html
