Groove is a mess. They could have used Legends Animated Prowl for a better robot mode and alt-mode match. The Hotspot and Blades pack is...meh. The good news is, we already have Protectobot Hotspot from Generations GDO, a proper coloration of the same mold (with a more appropriate accessory), and several options for Blades, including the Universe 2008 repaint of Cybertron Evac, the ROTF Evac (redeco of Blazemaster), which is a better color match for the same mold they are using for the 2-Pack, or even Universe Legends Blades (if scale is not a concern). My plan is to skip the 2-Pack, keep using GDO Hotspot and Universe 2008 Blades, pick up the 3-Pack for First Aid and Streetwise, and replace Groove with Legends Animated Prowl.

The sad part is that this is likely the closest we'll get to having Classics Protectobots.
Actually, we already have two of the five in Classics form:
GDO Series Hot Spot and Universe 2008 Blades. So the second set would be obsolete.

3 of 5, you forgot G2 Streetwise/Streetstar from Botcon's G2: Redux.

True, but some people may be looking for a closer match to his G1 color scheme.
