I think these guys need some serious retooling or a damn good paintjob before I get them as Defensor.

2012 is gonna be a big year for me & very exspensive. because I plan to buy a few 3rd party TF toys that are obviously G-1 toys/characters in disguise.

the star cats rescue vechicle combiners isn't on my 2012 buy list because it wasn't designed after a TF toy/character. it was designed after another toy lines robot toy/character.

These 3rd party TF toys are not cheap. combiners are really exspensive. when I buy 3rd party TF toys,I weigh all the scales with the negatives & positives then make a decision to buy or not buy.

I'll plead ignorance as I have no clue as to what Star Cats is or how accurate this set is to the source material. My point though is I'm not sure whether to compare the one figure to Streetwise or First Aid, but given it's robot mode I'd say Freedom Gundam is the most likely candidate.

The Protectobots are the only Autobot combiners I've ever owned, and a limited run (and therefore probably highly expensive) repaint of a set not originally intended to be them just isn't something I can get behind. A good looking set all the same.

Looks good to me. I'm cool with just a redeco, since this was another project to begin with. Seeing as our only alternative to a Classics-grade Defensor seems to be nothing, I don't mind inaccuracies. If the Star Cats version comes off better with a united color scheme, I'll probably look it's way too.

Also, the sketches of heads I like the lower left corner for the dino-combiner. It aludes to War Within Grimlock, which looked powerful without looking monstrous. The one we saw before was too skull-like.

Not too bad.

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.
For Sale:
Classics Magnus/Skywarp 2 pack MIB
Classics Devastator MIP
HA Sideswipe K-Mart exclusive color Loose

Currently looking for:
ROTF Target exclusive Sideswipe from the 2-pack
TFCC Punch/Counterpunch
Alternity Primes, silver & white versions
(opened is OK, to be used for customs)

PM If interested

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.
