Attack Formation: With Sparkride and Fly-up forming his arms, Guard City can use their various abilities (such as Fly-up's rotor blades) to aid him in battle.

Operation Combination
- Guard City (Multi-pack, 1992)
- Japanese ID number: TF-04
- Guard City is a redeco of the original Defensor, a combination of five emergency-response vehicles. He is largely similar to Defensor, with only a handful of plastic colors changed, plus some but not all of the decals are changed.
- Guard City's deco shares a lot in common with most Defensor knock-offs, with Streetwise's mould rendered in stark white (rather than off-white) and Hot Spot done in red. Fire Chief stands out from fakes, though, because he retains some of Hot Spot's powder blue plastic, on his fists and ladder. Knock-offs almost never render the helicopter in blue like Fly Up, however. The only difference between Groove and Sparkride is their stickers, the same is true of the combiner parts -- Only the chest plate stickers are different.
- Since he uses the Scramble City style of combination, he can be composed of any combination of limb-robots, so long as Fire Chief is the torso. He was only available as a complete box set.
Trivia
- As part of the very last Transformers series in Japan for several years, Guard City is remarkably hard to find on the secondary market, and demands some heavy prices, despite the similarities to the original.
