Transformers Combiner Wars galleries are back with a vengence. This time we take a high resolution photographic look at Combiner Wars Defensor and his component Protectobots Voyager Class Hot Spot, Deluxe Class Rook, First Aid, Streetwise, Blades and Legends Class Groove. You can find all these guys in wave 3 of Combiner Wars.

In this iteration of Defensor, Groove has been replaced as a limb by newcomer Rook and relegated to forming chest armor for Defensor. Fix a snack and click on any of the images to see the full galleries. Seriously there are over 975 new images to drool over in these galleries so it may take a while.

Wait. Is that? Is that a gun that fires an ax?

That's pretty metal.

I was hoping to snag these in the store. Didn't want to order bulk online. I was encouraged when Walmart got in bunches of wave 2. Was discouraged when yesterday I found them on clearance for $8. Meanwhile, one step changers from last year clog the shelf.

Offroad and First Aid's Hand/Foot/Guns can attach to the top of the vehicle mode too. There's a slit cut into their specific guns that slots on the tab on top of the the vehicle (For Offroad it's in the tray) They sit nice and flush.

Was hoping for some pics of the unofficial way of attaching Groove to Rook's knee.

Well see if I have time sometime in next week. Thought about it but at almost 1000 pics for these 7 galleries I had to move on right now to other new figures. Viper and warpath and thundercracker are next. Still wish I had found a small dog toy from schleich that would fill in for buster In a gallery.

Looks like Groove is in the heart... :DANCE:

(Does that mean this should have been a Target exclusive?) :HEADHURTS:

Sorry, I'm just so sick of that song in the Target ads

The "stars" on Groove when in chest armor mode just reminds me of when nipples get starred out on topless women or body paint. :grin:

I'm super excited for these guys. Completing Defensor was a white unicorn for "carytheweeone. I received all the limbs as a gift (did they come as a 4 pack?) for xmas. It seemed like it took forever to not only track down Hot Spot, but to talk my folks into buying it.

Is that a stack of video games I spy?

Thanks...

It looks like you had a lot of fun posing Hot Spot. I'm loving "scorpion mode."

So, anyone else realize that Rook also double as the autobot football team's punter and placekicker? He's even got the old school single bar facemask.

He does make quite the "breastplate"

I wonder if this mould was chosen for the female combiner...

Welcome to Seibertron.com, TF-fan kev777!

Yah, I love the "Football helmet" Rook's sporting! Looks cool.

I kinda hope Takara make hot spots head all black with red eyes.
Not a huge fan of rook or groove, but will grab them till the jp version drops.

I'm hoping the same for Hot Spot!

Hey all,

I know this is a gallery topic, but since some of you obviously have Defensor, just a quick question--

I have an MISB Japanese Hotspot (Inferno/Grappel mold) from the Generations line that I don't plan on opening.
I'm really diggin' the CW line so far, but I'm going to focus on collecting most of the Decepticons.
However, Hotspot was one of my favorite bots.
Is he worth getting even if I don't get the other Protectobots?

Thanks for any answers!
