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. Despite this, Defensor is fairly well adjusted mentally compared <A title="Devastator (G1)" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Devastator_(G1)">to</A> <A title=Abominus href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Abominus">almost</A> <A title="Menasor (G1)" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Menasor_(G1)">every</A> <A title="Superion (G1)" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Superion_(G1)">other</A> Generation 1 gestalt.

Defensor's most notable ability is a powerful <A title="Force field" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Force_field">force field</A> he can create within 50ft of his person, but it is very fuel consumptive and he cannot maintain it for long.

When <A title="Ethan Zachary" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Ethan_Zachary">Ethan Zachary</A> 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.

Not long after, the Protectobots were summoned by the current leader Grimlock to find and arrest Blaster. They came up against the Combaticons during this mission, culminating in a battle between Defensor and Bruticus. Ultimately Bruticus defeated Defensor by beating him over the head with an entire train. <SPAN class=tt1_nowrap style="BORDER-RIGHT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; BORDER-TOP: #cccccc 0px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; FONT-SIZE: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #cccccc 0px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ececec"><A title="Child's Play (comic issue)" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Child's_Play_(comic_issue)">Child's Play</A></SPAN>

Unfortunately, this left the remaining Protectobots with the unenviable task of resuming their duties as Defensor with only one arm. Defensor safely managed to catch a train thrown by the Decepticons, but remarked that this would have been a lot easier if First Aid had been there. <SPAN class=tt1_nowrap style="BORDER-RIGHT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; BORDER-TOP: #cccccc 0px solid; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; FONT-SIZE: 10px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: #cccccc 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #cccccc 0px solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ececec"><A title="The Ultimate Weapon" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/The_Ultimate_Weapon">The Ultimate Weapon</A></SPAN>

When the Decepticons staged a series of nonsensical raids across <A title=Japan href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Japan">Japan</A>, Defensor fought his nemesis Bruticus outside a dojo.

• Defensor (1986)

• Japanese ID number: C-76

Defensor is formed out of the five individual Protectobots, with <A

title="Hot Spot (G1)" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Hot_Spot_(G1)">Hot Spot</A> serving as the central torso component. Unusually for <A title="Scramble City" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Scramble_City">Scramble City</A>-style combiners, Defensor's head is not a separate piece, but hidden inside his fire truck ladder assembly, like <A title="Inferno (G1)" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Inferno_(G1)">Inferno</A>. He is armed with Hot Spot's twin laser rifles. Though any of the smaller Protectobots can serve as any limb, the "correct" configuration has Blades and First Aid as arms, and Groove and Streetwise as legs.

Defensor's arms are very commonly mis-transformed, even in official

artwork such as the art at the top of this page (in which Streetwise and First Aid have also reversed positions). The instructions (and the cartoon model) show the nose of Blades' helicopter form, and the front panel of First Aid's ambulance mode, unfolded to hang off of Defensor's shoulders (as shown at right.) But almost as frequently, both these components are shown folded away. First Aid's legs are often not unfolded properly as well, giving Defensor a shorter arm than he would otherwise have.

Defensor was available as the individual Protectobots sold separately, or

as a <A title=Giftset href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Giftset">giftset</A>.

This mold was later <A title=Redeco

href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Redeco">redecoed</A> into <A title="Guard City" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Guard_City">Guard City</A>. <BR clear=all> <A name=Generation_2></A> <H3><SPAN class=editsection>[<A title="Edit section: Generation 2" href="http://tfwiki.net/w2/index.php?title=Defensor_%28G1%29&action=edit&section=10">edit</A>]</SPAN> <SPAN class=mw-headline>Generation 2</SPAN></H3> <DIV class="thumb tright"> <DIV class=thumbinner style="WIDTH: 182px"><A class=image title="At least his colors would have been more different than Guard City's were." href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:G2_Menasor_and_G2_Defensor.jpg"><IMG class=thumbimage height=120 alt="At least his colors would have been more different than Guard City's were." src="Defensor (G1) - Transformers Wiki_fichiers/180px-G2_Menasor_and_G2_Defensor.jpg" width=180 border=0></A> <DIV class=thumbcaption> <DIV class=magnify><A class=internal title=Enlarge href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:G2_Menasor_and_G2_Defensor.jpg"><IMG height=11 alt="" src="Defensor (G1) - Transformers Wiki_fichiers/magnify-clip.png" width=15></A></DIV>At least his colors would have been more different than Guard City's were.</DIV></DIV></DIV>

The Protectobots were to be released as part of the second wave of

combiners in <I><A class=mw-redirect title="Generation 2" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Generation_2">Generation 2</A></I> <A title="Generation 2 (toyline)" href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Generation_2_(toyline)">toyline</A>, and naturally would have been able to form Defensor.
