Fellow Seibertronian, Delphan Rane, was kind enough to share photos of the extremely rare and never officially produced G2 Protectobot Blades that he recently won on eBay. Over 110 photos of the G2 Protectobots (Streetwise, Groove, First Aid and Blades) are now online in the Generation 2 galleries.

Thank God! I'd be real sad if that package got opened.

On new toys thats a bad investment, but for something so old, thats just pure sacrelig!

I know not many of these guys exist. If more of them are unopened than opened, and no one is willing to open them, wouldn't the opened ones be more rare and valuable?

Thanks for hookin us up with the gallery! The color scheme sure is quite odd on these figures. Not very attractive as Defensor.

All I know is that they better be kept away from me. You bet I'd open them up! To heck with their value.

The G1 Protectobot limbs with G2 Hotspot and G1 combiner accessories would be an interesting color scheme.

G2 Hotspot does not seem to exist, so any attempts to photograph such a creation are in vain.

Has anyone taken the box art from the Protectabots off Botch's web site and redone them digitally so we can see them in G2 colors? Same with the Stunticons? I bet they would look sweet.

I would love to see some pics of G2 First Aid. From the packaging, he looks to be the same color, but I'd like to have a closer look. It's because he (G1 First Aid) was my very first TF ever!

Cool, I'm glad to hear it! It just so happens I'll be bringing them w/ me to Providence. And everyone can watch you open them up an play with them. :grin:

I like the blue color but Defensor looks like he was standing in front of a Crayola factory when it exploded.

I was looking through the galleries trying to find an oddly-coloured Menasor when I thought, "Hey, wait a minute!" I guess neither of us are quite ourselves today.

I would love to see some pics of G2 First Aid

There's a G2 First Aid gallery present.

It doesn't give a particularly good view of the figure, however.

Given that the figure suffers from Gold Plastic syndrome, it seems unlikely that one would ever open up such a rarity, as it would most likely break upon transformation.

Really? I have to take some time to check that out. Thanks for the info! :grin:
