Defensor is an Autobot from the Shell Game portion of the Robots in Disguise continuity family (via the 2003 Universe franchise).
My art is as unfinished as my toy!

After millions of Autobots were killed in Megazarak's war of conquest, the ex-commander Hot Spot was forced to become a Matrix bearer. Now known as Defensor, he is the leader of the few Autobots—the very few—who remain. In fact, there is only one Autobot who remains under his command whose name is known: Ultra Trion. He is now the focal point of Megazarak's obsession to destroy all of the Autobots of his Cybertron.

Needless to say, he needs more help.

Shell Game continuity

In Viron 704.31 Epsilon, Hot Spot's Protection Team was killed by Megazarak.

Toys

[edit]

Universe (2003)

[edit]
What teases we be.
  • Defensor (OTFCC 2005)
Initially planned as the larger exclusive toy for OTFCC 2004, the Universe Defensor figure was to be a retool of 2001 Robots in Disguise Super Class Optimus Prime, the central (or smaller) robot being called "Hot Spot" (for obvious reasons). The super mode's head was planned to be retooled, and the colors would have homaged the original Defensor's.
Sadly, his release was pushed back to OTFCC 2005, which never happened, as 3H Productions lost the convention license to Fun Publications.

And his very own black repaint.
  • Midnight Shield Defensor (OTFCC 2005)
In order to offset the costs of producing such a large toy, a variant black deco was planned to be offered separately. It didn't happen either!
