There's at least one more reset for the year, especially around Christmas time. I think that's when we'll see these en masse.

Oh, I didn't know that folks hadn't seen Jetfire at retail yet. Saw him last week at Kmart.

Finally! Glad I didn't bite the bullet and order them online. Though, judging by how quickly Shrapnel and Tailgate went, I might have to go online for these guys.

We have been seeing reports that the two new Protectobots Emergency response and Evac Squad had been released in Malaysia. While that is awesome for fans in Malaysia, Amazon.com has your hook up for those who can't hop a plan to Malaysia to pick up this set. Well you can at least order half the set with a new pre-order by Amazon for the Protectobots Emergency Response set which features First Aid from Transformers Prime Deluxe Ratchet, Groove from Transformers Prime Cyberverse Arceeand Streetsmart from Transformers Prime Deluxe Prowl. The set is $32.99 with an October 1 release date. Hopefully the Protectobots Evac Squad will follow suit. Click the image to see the pre-order.

No team covers more ground in less time than the heroes of Protectobots Emergency Response. Wherever danger strikes, the team is there in the blink of an optical sensor. Their primary mission: protect the people of Earth from threats they cannot face alone. And if that gives the team a chance to blast some Decepticons while they're at it, all the better. Roll to the Transformers rescue with the Emergency Response pack! These Protectobot Streetsmart, Groove and First Aid figures are ready to handle whatever threatens innocent bystanders. Your Streetsmart figure converts from robot to helicopter mode, while your Groove figure converts fast from robot to fire truck mode. Your First Aid figure converts to ambulance mode, but he’s still ready for a fight with the swords on his bumper. They’ve all got weapons for combat if the rescue turns bad! Your rescue adventures will never be the same once you have the Emergency Response Pack! Transformers and all related characters are trademarks of Hasbro.

If these had more G1-accurate decos, I'd be all over them since I already have Generations Hot Spot (Inferno redeco) and Blades (Cybertron EZvac redeco). These don't look anything like the G1 characters, so I'll be passing.

Great news; this was the set of the 2 releases I was waiting for.
I already had GDO Hot Spot and Universe2.0 Blades and don't mind the aesthetic change with the Prime molds being used.
Hopefully this looks as good in hand as I expect.

It's interesting that this product doesn't show up if you do a search on Amazon. Is it possible that the other set is actually available on there as well?

I'll just wait for Hasbro to announce a Combiner Wars Defensor

I wonder if next year we'll be able to thank this set for us not getting updated Protectobots during Combiner Wars?

The existence of these Asian Protectobots set feels like some attempt by Hasbro to hold on to these names, so as to keep using them later on, potentially in Combiner Wars. After all, these names were going to be used on the Bot Shots Protectobots set, but that set got canceled, so these new sets feel like a means to make up for that loss to prevent loss of the names before the time comes for Hasbro to really use them.

It's too bad the Kreon trademarks don't apply to the non-brick toys, given how they made most of the G1 combiners already.

Are you talking about the Windblade wave? Dark Cybertron 7, 8, 9, and 10.

Comment by Bounti76 Sep 22, 2014
This is an EASY pass for me. That they're not even remotely close to their G1 decos is my biggest gripe. If they'd given First Aid a red head, Streetwise a white one and painted Groove black and/or gold, I'd be half-tempted to order it.

As it is, all I see is a patriotic TF:Prime Ratchet and Prowl, and even though the boxart is modified, I still can't unsee Arcee in Groove.

This could be a fun sentence out-of-context! :michaelbay:

Comment by Heckfire Sep 23, 2014
I'm foolishly disappointed First Aid didn't at least get a new head, since he was the one I was hoping most for (I currently have the regular BH Prowl as my Streetwise and Galaxy Force Gasket Police-type as Groove alongside my GDO Hot Spot; I'm trying to get the Universe 2.0 Blades).

Still...I KINDA want the Arcee!Groove (Geecee?) since I collect femmebots...decisions...
