When both the Protectobots and Autobot Powermasters failed to stop Dreadwing from stealing the disk, Getaway tried to grab the fleeing Decepticons, but ended up getting his hand caught in their fuselage as they swept away into the skies. Child's Playįollowing Optimus Prime's return to life, the Protectobots were assigned to guard the backup copy of the floppy disk that had enabled his resurrection, stored at an Alternate Reality, Inc. He was only saved by Blaster, freed by the humans, defeating Bruticus by causing an electrical tower to topple on him. Ultimately Bruticus defeated Defensor by beating him over the head with an entire train. Defensor was protected by his forcefield, while Bruticus countered with Defensor's inability to aim. Their battle wrecked the entire area, threatening to kill several human children in the process. They came up against the Combaticons during this mission, culminating in a battle between Defensor and Bruticus in an old train yard. Not long after, the Protectobots were summoned by the current leader Grimlock to find and arrest Blaster. Afterdeath! These events were observed by the time travelling Dicet Alpha-zero. It would have worked perfectly had Megatron not cheated. Defensor burned the bridge he and Megatron were standing on, letting them both "die" in the virtual world. In the virtual world, after each individual Protectobot had taken care of the Combaticon, they combined to fight Megatron, leaving Optimus Prime safely off to the side. When Ethan Zachary suggested they uploaded themselves to the computer to battle over it safely, both sides agreed. He has to shout his own name when Optimus isn't there to do it.

Super Robot Lifeform Transformers story pages.In one universe, Defensor is not formed from the Protectobots at all, but another team known as the Rescuebots. Sometimes Groove cedes his place as a limb to one of the substitutes and instead forms a chest plate for the combiner, whilst another specific combination results in God Guardian. These secondary members include Rook, Medix, Heatrock, Skyfeather, and even Ratchet. Despite this, Defensor is fairly well adjusted mentally compared to almost every other contemporary gestalt.ĭefensor's most notable ability is a powerful force field he can create within 50 feet of his person, but it is very fuel consumptive and he cannot maintain it for long.ĭefensor is the combined form of the Protectobots:Īdditionally, Defensor has a host of auxiliary components who can fill in when a core Protectobot is injured or indisposed. We humans tend to be more wary and frightened of his alien nature and great size than Defensor can understand. As far as Defensor is concerned the humans are his "kind." Sadly the titanic robot giant's attempts at personal interaction and friendly exchanges with humans tend to fail. He identifies with them the same way a sheep dog would with its flock or a puppy with its human owners. Defensor is emotionally attached to humans on a level that sometimes worries his fellow Autobots. In many ways he feels about the human race the way a parent would their children and he would give his life away in an instant rather than let one human come to harm. The combined form of the five Protectobots Defensor exists specifically to safeguard human life. First Aid didn't feel like being an arm today.
