Site Sponsor BigBadToyStore has put up preorders for the next wave of Powercore Combiners, images included.

The next 5-pack will be the Stunticons! with their commander being Leadfoot repainted and bearing a homage to G1 Drag Strip.

The 2-packs will be Undertow and Salvage. Undertow is a new mold, and Salvage is a repaint of Mudslinger.

[see the preorderpages with more images here and here

Oh, F@*K YEAH! Now I don't have to repaint one! I was really hoping Leadfoot would get a Drag Strip rerelease. Undertow looks impressive as well. It seems like watercraft TFs are in short supply anyway.

So it's a mix of repaints and new molds? Nice

Undertow is interesting. Reminds me of how I saw a potential PCC Thunderblast. But I would have used Icepick for the Commander of the Stunticons. Just a beef with scale, unless Drag Strip is supposed to be a huge F1. Not sure what to think of Salvage, but hey, now the PCC decepticons permanently outnumber the autobots. Anyone else tihnk that the waves are shrinking so it dies down right as TF3 toys come out? Clever hasbro.

Another case of sticking awful looking 'limbs' onto an alright figure to make a bad combiner. What's up with those arms? Just looks like broken toys.

Undertow looks alright and it's nice to see more sea based TFs. I still gotta get me Voyager Seaspray.

Darn, I was hoping they'd repaint Leadfoot as Mirage. Undertow looks pretty interesting. So the Brawl-esque tank guy is Wave 4?

Bombshock remains the only PCC with limbs I like. Grimstone I like despite bad limbs.

Undertow is pretty cool, though, as far as the 2 packs go. I look forward to it's presumable repaint as leader of a Seacon team.

that boat dude is cool with what appears to beone of the best new minicons but he might have fitted better if the minicons were swapped.

The stunticons don't excite me any more than any of the other weak G1 homages from the PCC series.

But I like the 2 pack figures!

Meh! waste of good plastic and resources by Hasbro.

News Credits: 12 · by **GuyIncognito** » Tue Nov 09, 2010 10:54 am

Undertow is pretty cool, but I'll pass on the rest. I'm a fan of the PCC line, but I'm not interested in collecting any repaints of molds I already own.

The two-packs look good, though I doubt I'll be getting either of them. I have yet to understand how hasbro can continue to make toys with these hideous arms.

'Cause kids seem to like them.

The stunticons look cool as does Undertow also the Mudslinger/Salvage and Chainclaw/Bombburst team up is a great combo

by **Skullcrunchberries** » Tue Nov 09, 2010 11:20 am

So frickin' sweet. I'm getting more and more impressed with PCC with every wave :3

Count me as a non-PCC fan. The only one I bought (and the only one I will get) is Huffer, so I can display him next to my G1 Huffer. I like G1 homages..

The five-pack still looks horrible. Love'n the two-packs!

I'll get the Stunticons for the drones, and swap them with PCC Crankcase. Undertow reminds me of the child of ROTF Scattorshot and Cybertron Shortround. Can't wait for these guys to come out.

News Credits: 1 · by **Bumblevivisector** » Tue Nov 09, 2010 1:06 pm

So we get a yellow Leadfoot revealed the same day as a boat that looks like Manta Ray?! G2 Autobot Rotor Force Forever!!!!!!

by **Windsweeper** » Tue Nov 09, 2010 2:02 pm

I'll definitely pick up the Stunticons for Dragstrip but the Drones, like Legends, are wastes of plastic to me that could have been used 2 make good Transformers toys.

At least I finally get a Basic Dragstrip to pal around with ROTF Breakdown. Pity in a way since I'm getting a griend to repaint a KO Robotmasters Mirage as Dragstrip.

Why do I keep seeing G1 Sureshot when I look at Leadfoot? Anyone else get that vibe?

Is the Stunticon left-leg drone remolded from the Combaticon's Swindle drone?

I don't think they're new, rather mixed and matched repaints of the Rallybots and Destructicons. Here's what I found:

Arms: Rallybots Race Car Drone and Tuner Drone
Legs: Destructicons Armored Junker Drone and Armored Truck Drone

Damn...Undertow looks sick! I sure wouldn't want to be in HIS forward firing arc...

News Credits: 4 · by **Megazarak** » Tue Nov 09, 2010 3:30 pm

The boat, who I'm guessing is Undertow despite being a Decepticon, looks pretty cool. I'm kind of hesitant on the others but we'll see what comes up. I wonder if there'll be more than just those figures for Wave 5. So far we've never had less than 2 5-packs in a wave, so it seems pretty likely.
