| The name or term "Rook" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Rook (disambiguation). |
- Rook is an Autobot Protectobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.
When the going gets tough, Rook is the Protectobot you need. Equipped with durabyllium super-alloy armor, he can take nearly any punishment you care to throw at him. Add to that his extensive knowledge of tactics, and you'll have a hard time trying to get one over on Rook!
Fiction
IDW Generation 1 continuity
Rook was in Mirage's visions of a Caminus consumed by flame and rampaging giants! The Possible Light
Rook happened to be standing around when Starscream aimed the Enigma of Combination at some loosely-affiliated Autobots jokingly referred to as the "Protectobots" and then Rook was suddenly Defensor's leg. Mistakes and Mayhem
Games
Transformers: Battle Tactics
Rook participated in battles against a variety of opponents, both Autobots and Decepticons. Sometimes there were many of him! Transformers: Battle Tactics
Toys
Generations
- Protectobot Rook (Deluxe, 2015)
- Accessories: Clamp weapon, double-barreled gun/fist/foot
- Released as part of the Combiner Wars subline imprint of Generations, Rook can transform into either an armored SWAT vehicle or a limb for any combiner from the same subline. He is intended to be combined with Hot Spot, Streetwise, First Aid and Blades to form Defensor (with Groove now serving as a chest piece).
- Rather than 5mm hands, Rook has forward-facing 5mm ports in front of his fists. This allows him to mount his clamp-like accessory as an integrated weapon or use Combiner Wars combiner hands (one of which is included) as giant "Hulk hands". This is pretty awesome.
Notes
- Rook's headsculpt is designed to evoke a rook playing piece from chess.[1]
- Rook's deco was the work of Joe Kyde.[2]
