Thanks to Internet Personality Vangelus, also the host of the WTF@TFW Podcast, not to mention Canada’s True Savior, has discovered an auction on Ebay for upcoming Powercore Combiner Bundle packs, which include a 5-pack set along with a regular scout and Mini-Con figure set. The set is being sold by ebay seller rjacks25.
This is great news for those of you who have yet to experience the most amazing feeling ever by opening one of these sets, combining the incredible figure with the incredible drones, and then tormenting members of your family as if you’ve been posessed by Transformer demons.
Others, however, still feel the need to express their discontent with Hasbro for making these figures. Even though the box clearly states, “INCREDIBLE VALUE!”, it seems as if Hasbro is going to have to make a huge marketing push to get collectors to step outside of their comfort zone!
There is no information on release dates, if there are other sets besides the Skyburst with Aerialbots and Searchlight set, or if your reputation as a Transformers fan is ruined with each purchase.
Please feel free to discuss this story in the link. In the meantime, I’m going to make all new combinations of awesomeness.

Serious business is serious.

This thread is like a slow-motion car crash. I don't understand why people are so enraged by the existence of PCC or are angry about the fact Kickback decided to make light of the situation in his news post.

Bombshock/Smolder set + inevitable TRU sale = me spending more money on toys I had planned on using for something trivial, like food.

Are Wave 1 the only ones for this set?
blugel
That's great!
Good thing I held off on picking on or the either up

^The combaticons pack gets Smolder and Chopster.
blugel
anyone know if there is just this single 2-pack, or if one with the combaticons is planned?
Shadowbreaker
Hehe, funny the pccs 2 I don't buy get in a bundle pack…
Hey, I like bundles, I might get one.

I agree with both of those statements. While it is okay to add some flavor to news, IMO, it's downright stupid to be shamelessly plugging a recently released toyline.

Oh hai Transformer Action Figure 2-Pack – Hasbro – Toys "R" Us
Mister Gone
Kind of a kick in the teeth for those of us who supported the idea from the get go tho. Already blew money on that stuff seperatly.
Jarodimus
Good luck. I've been barking up that tree for 6 years.
Remember: a robot is a failure if he can't hold that pinky out when he has his afternoon cup of Energon.

Bonecrusher hates PCCs.
Grimstone and Smolder 2 pack please, just so I can get the ones I want in one shot.

Hum, I don't love Power Core but I like the line and the figures are fun in a way that's kind of different than my other Transformers toys. So does this mean that I just mildly dislike people?

WOW…your feeling the hate rage today! nice…
Kickback
I wish every minor news story I frontpaged could get over 125 replies. Imagine the big news stories! Like when I reveal

ughh now i'm going to have to purchase the same sets all over again for the packaging variants. Def have a sickness.

I'm with you, I was on my soapbox there. I think if there are fault's with a toy, they should be discussed. Everyone should give their opinion good or bad on a toy, that's why we are here.
Paxtin
I kind of agree, but at the same time, if someone doesn't like something, they're free to say so and even give a reason as to why. I don't really like most of the PCC Commander figures. I think a lot of the robot modes look like a step backward in design. But, at the same time, I don't hold anything against people who do like them.
Though yeah, there are the fans who seem to have little respect for the opinions of others, and usually try and state some kind of general fact that should apply to everyone. The ones that basically try and argue that there is a justifiable reason as to why everyone should hate it just as much as they do.
Ironically, if you try and confront them on it, their defense is always that you're trying to deny them the freedom to their opinion.
Acid Wing
Awesome news. Was really only interested in Searchlight and maybe the PCC Combaticons, but as an added on bonus pack to the Aerialbots, increases the chance that I'll pick this combo up.
Now, if I find this in person is another issue.
