Hasbro has provided Seibertron.com with a batch of upcoming Power Core Combiners images. This set of images includes GRIMSTONE WITH DINOBOTS, STEAMHAMMER WITH CONSTRUCTICONS, UNDERTOW WITH WATERLOG, SALVAGE WITH BOMB-BURST, and SPASTIC WITH STUNTICONS.
Pics of every minute package variation for about a dozen figures, but none for the Stunticons? What, was the guy who compiled this some sort of spa- WAIT, oops, sorry...
But seriously, think Hasbro being blindsided by the offense taken to their careless name for He-Who-Should-Have-Been-Called-Drag-Strip-In-The-First-Place will lead to a last minute name change on the box? I remember the backs of G2 cards having "Afterburner" stickers slapped over "Snipe", but that name was changed on his actual toy packaging.
All the new ones are greatness. Still not big on the repaints since I have all the originals. I am a sucker for combiners no matter what form they take.
The only PCC 5-pack I have is Bombshock. It's pretty cool, but the combination joints are really weak. I just want to know whether all the 5-packs so far are like that.

I ask because Grimstone and Steamhammer are mine.
My first Skyburst had floppy joints, and two left legs to boot! But after I exchanged him for another, he was perfect, even the joints. My Bombshock was perfect from the start. I'd like to think that Hasbro is catching on to run-wide defects and is fixing them for a next run. I say that because Double Clutch, the scourge of them all, had plenty of changes made to fix his problems. Makes me wonder if I should attempt to get him or not, if it's safe.
