I have Double Clutch and I TOTALLY agree with u that the fact that this is an engineering failure. This figure would drive me nuts due too the fact that when u have 2 transform Double Clutch into torso mode. I tried for what seemed like hours and hours just to get the robot mode arms pegged in. Also while combining the arm drones, the robot mode arms would pop off, thus I had to peg in the robot mode arms all over again. This figure literally represents a Chinese knock-off toy.
Here is a funny story for you, comment section About seven years ago, I had bought this toy, and it was mainly for display. Then I brought it somewhere, and lost it. Fast forward seven years and I have all of the drones but not Double Clutch. One day at a yard sale, I see Double Clutch, and I instantly buy it. Once I got home, I spent about 4 hours finding a tutorial on how to transform it. R.I.P original Double Clutch, wherever you may be
Michael Javier Dodge charger/Chrysler 300. (The older ones before 2011 bear a striking resemblance to the Charger. They're mainly used these days as show cars.)
Eh, I have Double Clutch, but I keep him as an individual robot. Maybe his combined mode head as a battle helmet. His torso mode is just a mess....yet he scales with Studio Series pretty well. Oh yeah, and his car mode is pretty cool.
Really saddened that TJ lost the footage for this Plastic Addict. But, seeing Emgo’s old review on it... yeeeeaaah I can see why this set was Addict worthy
Sweet review dude! I really like the the beginning of this video with the mascot & the lazy bot scene lmao! As far as the power core goes, I'm still kinda undecided about them. there unique, I'll give'em that.
Hey Emgo, I totally agree with you on this figure, the smaller face on mine broke apart into 2 pieces then I lost the pieces to fix his face. I hadn't played with this figure since. I just use the drones for other power core combiners commander figures!
Ten years after release I finally pick this set up. I was able to make the torso mode stick together after shaving off some plastic here and there. After all that, he is actually pretty cool.
i was thinking the same thing about tuner mudflap man its keeping my walmarts and toys r us form getting anything new! he has to be the worst shelf former of the ROTF line
hey emgo if you slide the back of his arms into the back of his combiner head neck thingy it holds the arms better he might have a gap in his chest when you do it but trust me its alot better for the arms and they pop off less
Ah, this brings back memories from when I was 7. I bought this figure simply so that my (superior) Bomshell w/ Combaticons toy could have someone to fight. This guy was a floppity-boppity piece of sh*t, but dang it! He was MY floppity-boppity piece of sh*t! And I loved him for it! Okay, I didn’t exactly LOVE him, but he was sort-of okay if you manually held him together. Mostly. Okay, no, this guy is crap. If you’re watching this video 9 years after it’s release in order to see what Power Core Combiner is worth picking up on eBay, AVOID THIS GUY. Buy Bombshell/Combaticons instead.
I would also point out that each toy can have different tolerances. I have two minicon assult teams, and on one, the helicopters arms wouldn't stay on if you glued them, but on the other they work fine. It's possible you just got u lucky and ended up with a uniquely fragile Doubleclutch.
@ragnarock0100 - It think Doubleclutch is actually one of the better looking PCCs, and is quite poseable. The instability of the command module makes him unplayable however. You can go a long way by stabilizing his shoulders using Caliburst, the minicon that comes with Huffer. There are slots on the black part of his forearms that will hold the pegs on Caliburst's feet. Caliburst will hold the shoulders together, and you can position his gun over the head with a little positioning.
In my opinion this line was poorly executed. It was a great idea on paper, however that greatness did not make it to the final product. also about the black and yellow drone..... According to all no laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. I'm so sorry
Power Core Combiners as a whole are pitiful. Oh hey, automorph, that's cool...but not if the whole THING is automorph, hell the 4 limbs dont even have their own robot forms. way to make something worthless Hasbro
i had this one but it really really sucks. mine kept falling apart and if that wasnt enough, the instructions were literally RETARTED!!!!!!!! so i trashed him after taking 200 fire crackers and rigging them to explode all at once. YES I AM DEMENTED AND CRUEL. mainly towards *GRRRR* autobots. i never have trouble with decepticons, ever. but give me an autobot and ill never be able to transform it. they hate me and i hate them, but i digress, i hate this one. good review by the way.
I like your singing, Emgo; I just can’t help but groove with that bit you did for the skit. Positively priceless. 😊⚡️
You wait what
Well that was an unexpected and unfortunate crossover
Oh god

Kee Fare is thought the story would go
"When I got home from the yardsale I found the original double Clutch
What if it is the original
I used to have it but I lost all of them except for the red one then we moved and I got a new friend who lost the red one and he gave them to me
Here comes a thought: what if the one you bought at the yard sale is the one you lost? You paid extra for it.
Plot twist: the yard sale one is your original
Does anyone notice that Double Clutch's car form resembles a Dodge Charger?

its so weird seeing a emgo review without a sketch at the end lol

I hadn't played with this figure since.
I just use the drones for other power core combiners commander figures!
keep up the funny cutaways as in the lazybum and the seeker head thing
that TF2 reference tho XD
i still have that left arm orange car toy and i remember having this entire figure i was like 6 years old when this was posted or 7
Maybe they made this figure bad intentionally to show us why they don't conceal the power core ports
ok I have not laughed this hard in a while...thanks emgo for another great review
@SaxoRocks It's actually called Crankcase, but it IS a redeco of PCC Huffer, so the combiner-mode head is pretty Menasor-ish.
after watching a different review on power core as a series, the link was there for this, i watch, i discover tf2 reference
I love the part where you said the drag racer can talk 😂😂😂
I wanted this toy when I was younger. Must've hit my head one day to think that...
The tuner drone can be a perfect vehicle mode for bumblebee
Really team fortress 2
I remember getting this on my 9th Christmas back then, and ended up broken easily lol and lost the li'l combiner toys
Ten years after release I finally pick this set up. I was able to make the torso mode stick together after shaving off some plastic here and there. After all that, he is actually pretty cool.
Man your lucky it seems rare to fin these core combiners
I thought that you needed to thicken up the ball joints with some super glue or something like that.
those gun noises still have the team fortress 2 jingle in it. watch out for stuff like that...
2.56 accidentally starts transformation trys to hide it "look it can talk"
Thing is, the drones actually look cool.
What did mascot say!!!???
The deck lid?
Nice Intro Man!!!
i was thinking the same thing about tuner mudflap man its keeping my walmarts and toys r us form getting anything new!
he has to be the worst shelf former of the ROTF line
Is this the first appearance of the couch
Oh how much better power core would've been if not for the auto-morphing gimics
what i did to my double clutch i seperated the arm and super glued the ball joint and problem fixed
"Why did I buy this?" >>> Best line in this video.
what does it mean 2 plus five pack
i just got this set today and he is awesome! he looks like G1 beachcomber double clutch. also the drones look very good with pcc huffer!
hey emgo if you slide the back of his arms into the back of his combiner head neck thingy it holds the arms better he might have a gap in his chest when you do it but trust me its alot better for the arms and they pop off less
the video is now up if anyone wants to see it :)
Anyone know if these drones look good on Crankcase? i wanna get proper stunticons haha
I am over a decade late but they do
I am over a decade late but they do
holy i seen this in Walmart and i want it so bad! but ill probobly
be getting a masterpiece ROTF bumblebee later this year

This was the only Power Core Combiner I had.

Double Clutch does look ok in his individual robot mode and vehicle mode
whos worse him or skyburst
believe it or not but that was my very first Transformer
honestly feels like a movie toy
Was this before Megatron and Shockwave stole the couch?
Yes
First time I've heard Emgo regret buying one of these
If I had gotten this guy, I would have displayed him in vehicle mode. Keyword "IF"
I think he got the last to drones mixed
I used the dish soap tactic to tighten the ball joints in torso mode its ALOT better
Worst power core ever, but at the same time the best review ever 6:40 , where you got that red couch ant tv, haha I want them
@gallant4me huh. did not know that. thanks!
But uh, Smolder and Stakeout are exactly the same size, and Stakeout comes in a 5 pack, btw, Stakeout looks awesome with Huffers minicon.
Once you get the arms sorted and you separate him then the arms are loose...
I gotta say, if I ever bought it, after combining them, I'd look at it once then throw it in the trash. And I've never thrown a Transformer away!
Looks like a good paperweight.
Who is that guy in the beginning of every vid u make?
thanks. 1 more thing: how did he build it?
Stronius
Joseph Crickmore his name is mascot
lol i love the tf2 sounds that played
Man, I still have all the drones, but Double Clutch himself is missing. I don't even know how I lost him. Oh, and the red drone is kinda broken.
the best power core combiners transformation evah
@SaxoRocks yep
In my opinion this line was poorly executed. It was a great idea on paper, however that greatness did not make it to the final product.
also about the black and yellow drone.....
According to all no laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly.
I'm so sorry
I'm sorry that I read that part.
im sorry about my life
@@vindisco2487 I'm NOT sorry for my deviantart account www.deviantart.com/delfromteamrad
he looks like jazz when he is in his combined mode
is this the answer to "Menasor"???
My figure ball jointed leg broke today
The stunticons would drive circles around this guy.
yes that is the point of the stunticons
Have mudslinger. He's one of the best.
i agree i like it but the arms and the blue car
@AximusPrime81 He just doesn't like this line. The PCCs actually have pretty good articulation for combiners
I do like double clutch’s torso mode design and I hate myself for rhat
he stole the couch!!!!!!!!
Power Core Combiners as a whole are pitiful. Oh hey, automorph, that's cool...but not if the whole THING is automorph, hell the 4 limbs dont even have their own robot forms. way to make something worthless Hasbro
@@Toreldoc Fucking exactly
I hated them but once you find them at 20 dollars price it's more worth
Doublecluches car mode reminds me of a mustang
He falls apart under pressure. Can't handle the stress.
i still think its funny wave 2
2 packs are a big improvement but the 5 packs both suck
i nearly bought this yesterday
How did i get here?
I wish the drones could transform
team fortess2-sounds? yeah :)
I only have 2 combaticons swindle and onslaught
i had this one but it really really sucks. mine kept falling apart and if that wasnt enough, the instructions were literally RETARTED!!!!!!!! so i trashed him after taking 200 fire crackers and rigging them to explode all at once. YES I AM DEMENTED AND CRUEL. mainly towards *GRRRR* autobots. i never have trouble with decepticons, ever. but give me an autobot and ill never be able to transform it. they hate me and i hate them, but i digress, i hate this one. good review by the way.
everyone need to buy him heis becoming shelfwair
your vids are good but I like peaugh more ;P
looks like mascot was right because he said he is the weakest at 0:54
Since I dont own a Jazz figure, I pretend That he is Jazz :D
Transformers Rally (Mario Kart parody)
HA there's still like 6 sea attack ravages
turns him around just to yell it
he makes Huffer look Long and lanky
I kinda liked this design astetic too but now after seeing this... meh. Glad I never started collecting these. Thanks Emgo!
0:00-0:20 ROFLMAO LOL!!!!! LAWL
The sad reality is/was only a few limbs from each set looked good and not every torso bot was a good figure.
oh and double clutch is actually quite poseable.
please mr emgo make a video of you KILLING IT somehow ?
had this one before
wait no skit?
EmGo did not do the skits until he said "Palm in your face!"
There Is one here actually
Just use these combiners with crankcase to make a pcc menasor.
