After just recently bringing you First Aid, Genetic of TFND strikes again with the first in hand shots of Combiner Wars Voyager Protectobot: Hotspot! This fella is sporting his own brand new mold (rumoured to be retooled into Onslaught) and transforms from fire truck, to robot, and (being team leader) the torso of Defensor. He seems to be able to pull of some pretty dynamic moves, and can be seen here with the rest of his fellow Protectobots. Whats next for Genetic, is it Groove or the combined mode Defensor? Whatever it is, Seibertron.com has you covered so stay tuned!

Hot Spot did not disappoint one bit. He looks every bit as amazing as the rest of his crew so far. His vehicle mode looks spot on to me, and his robot mode is very good and high-quality in my humble opinion. His combined mode looks like it is easily better than the truck mold and may even equal the jet mold. I hope combined images are next. I'm all too eager to see Defensor in his (almost) full Glory!!!

P.S. I can wait a bit for Groove. New pics of him as a chestplate on Defensor can be shown when he is photographed. I WANT DEFENSOR NOW!!! :BOT:

I was hoping the chest plate bots would be interchangeable, but looking at Defensor's chest, it doesn't seem he'd be able to accmmodate Blackjack, and this would seem to indicate that Ultra Prime or Menasor wouldn't be able to wear Groove. Ah well.

Looks nice otherwise.

There. It's out of the way. Dealt with. Go about your lives.


Oh, wait, before you go...

Check out the pose on that first robot pic. Pure awesome! He needs a nice low angle pic from the torso up to go along with it.

I really hope this guy's retooled into Onslaught mostly because I don't want Defensor but I do want the mold. I have him preordered currently along with Cyclonus so I don't have to wait a whole year to buy one, but if Onslaught comes out I'll probably sell Hot Spot off as long as Onslaught is really good.

You are not too late to say Breakdown's weapon is amazing and lovable. Because it is. Simple. It is a great gun-sword, and it can be used and mentioned as much as it can :BOT:

I don't mind the ladder backpack for Hot Spot. Makes me wonder how it'll be dealt with in the inevitable Onslaught retool though. It seems necessary for the combined mode.

My original plan was to only get Superion (because I had him as a kid and he is my favorite combiner) as well as Mirage and Ironhide (because I don't have them in my Generations collections and I thought they would make nice options to upgrade Superion).

But then I start seeing these amazing images of the Protectobots and even though I still hate Blades' head the other four limbs look phenomenal. So if Hot Spot turns out to be as solid a torso as Silverbolt I may have to scrap my original plan and go in on Defensor instead.

Although I might consider substituting Mirage and Ironhide in place of Blades and Streetwise.

Whatever the case, thank you for taking my money, Hasbro. :HEADHURTS:


You are doomed! :lol:


After seeing the new pictures of Hot Spot, yes, yes I am, barring poseability issues with Defensor. Superion sets a very high bar. I had him doing Hulk Hogan poses today for kicks. He can also do the People's Elbow and the Stone Cold Stunner. I'd post pictures but I don't have figures (or easy access to figures in storage) that can take the punishment. #-o

I was wondering the same thing. If they have the missiles on the back, it might interfere with the folding part of the backpack since missiles usually don't fold in half. That or the missiles would be pointing straight towards the ground, making Onslaught the most daring (and cautious) Decepticon alive.

What's so crazy about this set of combiners, is that they look quite good size wise, where the other combiners are kind of off set. This is the correct size

My God those bots look awesome, so much variety in their torso size and deco it's amazing they all combine together still.

Can't wait for first aid,he just looks perfect,incidentally surely his alt mode is 100% prowl,just need a big set of bull bars on the front.

the original first was my first ever combiner limb and defensor my first gestalt So this is 100% a buy,especially since it seems to be coming out before menasor in the UK

that Hot Spot mold looks nice it has potential as some other fire trucks IE the one guy from super god master force , RID 2001 Optimus and or Rescue bots Heatwave who gotten a major upgrade to take on both 'cons and Morbots :lol: :D ;) though their combination gimmick would have to be removed

oh and if it does get retooled into onslaught .....

He's easily my favorite Scramble City torso-bot (though my favorite gestalt is Computron, and I don't really care for Defensor), but Hot Spot looks unexpectedly FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC. He's literally perfect, totally spot on, and I can't wait to find him.

looks to be the best tf ever. gdo hotspot was a favorite. looks better without groove. the only downside are his eyes in torso mode. any thoughts on fixing his eyes? torso mode looks as stable as superion.

I'm not gonna get them, I'm not gonna get them, I'm not gonna...

Aw fuck it, who am I kidding, these guys look great. First Aid, my favorite Protectobot, has an awesome mold and is surprisingly distinct from Offroad, as is Streetwise (who happens to be my second favorite) from Deadend. Blades is G2, so that's almost an instant win. Rook is badass. Hotspot is badass.

My wallet's only hope is that Rook and Hotspot get retooled into other characters that I want soon.

HA! Took the words right out of my mouth.

But I must say that I don't find Hotspot's alt mode too great. Very little of it cries out firetruck to me. Unlike the Universe mold, this one has a thinning midsection which looks a bit odd, as if the truck is segmented. I have a feeling the alt mode will look much better once its repurposed for Onslaught. Robot mode for Hotspot is Spot-on though :DANCE: And I really love the way they incorporate the ladder in torso mode, it is ingenious.

I can't wait for these guys. The Protectobots were the first combiner group I had back in the day and still one of my favorites. These guys all look great.

I just hope that Groove attaches to the chest better than Blackjack does. That really disappointed me.

Posted by Shockwave7 on April 13th, 2015 @ 9:30am CDT
Hotspot looks good. The combine mode also looks good. My hopes for Defensor: That he holds together in gestalt mode better than Menasor, and that he balances better. I love Menasor, but the Motormaster arms pop out too easily from his sides, and he overbalances a lot.

In general, I like all the combiners. My only beef with the design is they all lack a proper 'butt'. They just have a codpiece that flaps down and covers the front, but the back... not so much. From behind you can tell what's missing.... (literally)

To RiddlerJ:

You can fix the Blackjack problem by putting floor polish (or super glue) as a coating for the pegs on Motormaster. Coat them, let it dry, and the pegs become 'thicker' to the point where blackjack won't flop out. Ditto for Motormaster's arms to keep them from popping loose if you rotate Menasor's gestalt arms. I pretty much wound up using floor polish on ALL of Motormaster's gestalt joints to tighten them up. It makes a world of difference.

Is it silly that I kind of want an Alternate Defensor at some point?

Hot Spot => Inferno
First Aid => Ratchet
Streetwise => Prowl
Breakdown => Red Alert
Off Road => RID Strongarm

I mean, it's essentially the same 'theme' of emergency response alternate modes, but an entirely different character. Not saying I'd want it over Bruticus, just saying that it would be neat. Or maybe what'd be neat is if we simply wound up getting enough CW characters we can make up characters like that ourselves. We're already getting Prowl, Ratchet, Ironhide, Mirage, and Sunstreaker, right? Given the available molds, Red Alert, Trailbreaker, and Sideswipe seem like no brainers, and Grapple, Hoist, and Wheeljack are in the realm of feasible.

I never do much with the 'Scramble City' aspect because I don't like to break up sets of established characters, so I guess I'm just excited to get some Combiner Wars characters that are random additions to the line, with no particular gestalt identity defined, but I really want a LOT of those characters, to increase the number of possible combinations.

I will be all over Defensor when He is released. I don't really know if I will get Groove right away. I almost would rather he turned into something like a sword or shield since Defensor's chest plate is already damn near perfect. Rook looks like a really cool toy.

This figure looks amazing. And I haven't been too thrilled with another combiner since Superion. (Until the massive giant of Devastator was reveiled.) But now, I'm thinking Defensor will team up with Superion to battle the Constructicons on my shelf! One question though... I already know that the "hiding spot" for Defensor's head is in the ladder, but with Hot Spot's head, I'm in wonder. When changing to torso mode, does it go G1 and just slip over the top? Anyone have any idea? :BOT:

It's ridiculous how good Hotspot looks. I can't stop cheking this guy out...what a sexy beast!! :D
His alt mode is the weakest IMO but torso and bot mode are spectacular.

The whole team is really growing on me the more i look at them. Well done Hasbro.

I can't believe i'm buying a Defensor :roll:

Honestly, disagree. The heavy retoolings are a massive improvement over the previous status quo, in my opinion, and have enabled a wide range of surprisingly unique character portrayals in the Combiner Wars.

Plus, that Hot Spot mold is begging, just begging, to be Onslaught. =P~

Ah, I see. You want an additional mold. Well, then. Which other figure(s) shall we not get then? Molds are expensive to produce, and personally, if they can get multiple uses out of them, as long as the molds make sense for the character, I'm all for it! Because the alternative isn't more new molds, it is less toys altogether. So if you want Onslaught to have his own mold, then tell me which Voyager class Combiner Wars mold you'd like to not have, instead, please.

If they can remold and repaint Hot Spot into a credible Onslaught, then bring it on.

There's enough on hotspot that can be retooled extensively for onslaught, similar to silverbolt and Cyclonus. You can debate if it works, but you can't deny despite having the same base, most of their details are completely different.

But how do you know that Hotspot isn't the retool of Onslaught? Just because he was put into production and distribution before doesnt mean he was the character this mold was originally designed for. Due to how flat the alt mode is, I really feel this was originally designed as Onslaught's.
We have proof of this kind of thing happeneing as far back as the alternators line and we are clearly seeing it with all the extra limb bots in Combiner Wars. Another good example was the Generations Megatron/g2 Dreadwing mold.

So just wanted to say that for all we know, we are looking at the retool already.
