The combined form of the five [[Protectobot]]s '''Defensor''' exists specifically to safeguard [[human]] life. In many ways he feels about the human race the way a parent would their children and he would give his life away in an instant rather than let one human come to harm. Defensor is emotionally attached to humans on a level that sometimes worries his fellow Autobots. He identifies with them the same way a sheep dog would with its flock or a puppy with its human owners. As far as Defensor is concerned the humans are his "kind." Sadly the titanic robot giant's attempts at personal interaction and friendly exchanges with humans tend to fail. We humans tend to be more wary and frightened of his alien nature and great size than Defensor can understand.

Defensor's most notable ability is a powerful [[force field]] he can create within 50ft of his person, but it is very fuel consumptive and he cannot maintain it for long.

The protectobots never lived in the ark and instead had there own headquarters in a modified fire station.
'''Japanese name:''' ''Guardian''

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===
[[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] met at a fuel research station with the Protectobots and the [[Combaticon]]s, planning to brawl over it. When [[Ethan Zachary]] suggested they uploaded themselves to the computer to battle over it safely, both sides agreed.

In the virtual world, after each individual Protectobot had taken care of a Combaticon, they combined to fight Megatron, leaving Optimus Prime safely off to the side. Defensor burned the bridge he and Megatron were standing on, letting them both 'die' in the virtual world.

===Animated continuity===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Chris Latta]] (US), [[Kenyu Horiuchi]] (Japan)

Defensor once reduced [[Bruticus]] to scrap with a single shot, dryly noting afterwards that "there's junk all over the street." {{Storylink|B.O.T.}}

When [[First Aid]] was unable to prevent the theft of [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex's]] [[Transformation Cog|transformation cog]], he left the Protectobots, feeling that he was useless and a liability to the rest of the Autobots. Unfortunately, this left the remaining Protectobots with the unenviable task of resuming their duties as Defensor with only one arm. {{Storylink|The Ultimate Weapon}}

:Defensor is formed out of the five individual Protectobots, with [[Hot Spot (G1)|Hot Spot]] serving as the central torso component. Unusually for [[Scramble City]]-style combiners, Defensor's head is not a separate piece, but hidden inside his fire truck ladder assembly, like [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]]. He is armed with Hot Spot's twin laser rifles.

:Defensor was available as the individual Protectobots sold separately, or as a giftset.

:This mold was later [[redeco]]ed into [[Guard City]].

:The defensor gestalt was considered by many to be one of the most solidly built autobot combiners (superion being the least).
