Are the circled pieces in the picture below used to form Defensor, or are they just for the individual bots?

Not necessary.

Excellent, thanks.

Can they even be used on him, if I wanted to? Doesn't look like they would fit to well in his hands..

they are the weapons for first aid and streetwise while in alt mode.

Those cannons can be used in combined mode also, either in the hands or attached to the legs.

Here's another question. What are the circled below for?

I hate mystery pieces.

Hoses for Hot Spot's battlestation mode, IIRC.

My god, now he has a battlestation mode? Hahah, I am such a Gestalt noob.

Yeah, they're sort of like welding torches on arms; Hotspot has a repair bay mode.

Pretty much all the (5 piece) combiner leaders had that "third mode".

Except Scattershot ... we don't talk about his unofficial third mode.

Unless you're talking about Hun-Grrr, leader of the Terrorcons; he has two official modes, and a third "base" mode featured in the TF: Generations book.

If it's not the one, it's the other:

TFU.info's Hun-Grrr entry (with unofficial base mode)

by **Ramrider** » Thu Oct 25, 2007 1:05 pm

Blimey... that's really unofficial, innit?

In alt mode, pull Hot Spot's legs out, attach the chest pieces to the side - another mode maybe. I saw a pic before and tried it on mine. it was fun.

That would be his car carrier mode. Don't forget the guns on his sides where his hoses are

Those are individual weapons for the individual cars, Streetwise and First Aid.

That's right

I remember putting the rest of the crew on Hot Spot in his car carrier mode.
