It would not be terribly hard to modify the tanker truck into a fire engine either.

It does not appear that he tanker or the goofy shoulder cannons have anything to do with the transform, so those could go. Pop them off, pop on a ladder and viola!

The police car, ambulance and copter would work as-is, just the mototcycle is too futuristic, but he'd be OK. If he could swap spots to be a leg that would be better.

I could be pretty happy with this.

The tanker actually has a ladder across the top, it's just not very visible in the images I posted. I assume it's supposed to some sort of futuristic firetruck.

All I see is a big maybe. It's way too off to really be the protectobots in any of it's modes.

Depending on how these guys size up against the 6" Titaniums I can see this working as a War Within set of Protectobots.

The individual limbs are about as big as a 6 inch titanium, the tordobot is LARGER!

As a repaint these guys will fit in well as perhaps cybertronian versions of the protectobots. I can deal with that. I'm interested in seeing the final paint shots.

With the latest news from TFC Toys and their Technobot sketches, does anyone know what evolved from the Star Cats/Protectorbots repaints which where rumoured some 6 odd months ago? :???:

I'm happy to give those guys space in my display cabinets if they make it to production..!

Not the right scale for my collection. That and the only Protectobot I care about is First Aid and this will look nothing like him.

Easy pass. >:oP

Probably gonna have to pass on this one. The style of the vehicles just doesn't work for me. It's not truly a Transformers homage anyway.

mm, might be one of the only shots at the Protectobots, and not too attached to them I can't squint. Possibility exists...

Seibertron user and all round nice guy Paul Grant/Sir Toys has confirmed this project is still happening and he will be taking pre-orders shortly for not only not-Protectobots/Star Cats but also the Dino-combiner project too!

Reporting via the TFW2005 boards, Paul says he should have these in the coming months and pre-orders will be up on his SirToys.com website soon!

Agreed.

at a low enough price point I might consider it, as a Classics Knock Off Defensor. (you know those sets at the dollar stores, all over ebay as Chinese Reissues?) but it'd have to be a really low price. It looks like a fun enough toy, but without proper TF character nostalgia and no overwhelming ideas in my mind about how to repurpose them, it'd have to be a great price.

I could go for that too, just throw a little blue paint or stickers around and squint a bit!
I wonder if TFC are still producing this or if they have sold on the moulds?
TFCs combiners are too pricey for my wallet, so if this is still their project it will be interesting to see the price point, as they are robots which transform but are not anything to do with Transformers, unlike their other combiners? :-?

By the way, it has been suggested that these may come in two different scales also, which could explain the difference in the two photos Paul/Sir Toys took!

There's no real use for this with their Protectobots combiner in the works.

Where some folk are looking towards a more tradional look to their combiner homages, I am thinking that figures like these can play the part as individual characters, not combiners, which have yet to see a Classics Generations make over.

With their futuristic looks* and modern articulation, these guys could find a place amongst collectors various Transformers collections, repurposed as an existing character which has yet to be updated? :-$

Im onboard for a set as long as the price is right!

*Cybertronian vehicle?

If y'all haven't seen it yet, check out Scaleface's Retro Robot Radio podcast for this week. Near the end he has some interesting video on these guys and the dino combiner too. (The podcast video is embedded in the news thread for your convenience.

As the thread over on TFW2005 boards is buzzing with folk who have this combiner in-hand, I thought Id share some of their great photos here...
