The Protectobots are an Autobot Micromaster subgroup from the Universe conflict.

I wish I could point my gun forward.

Very little is known about the personality of these Protectobots, or even what universe they originally hailed from. Their relation to any other Protectobots is currently unknown.

The Protectobots consist of:

• Groove
• First Aid
• Hot Spot
• Prowl
• Red Alert
• Streetwise

All six can combine to form Defensor.

Fiction

Universe

The Protectobots were among the Transformers held in the Cauldron, the death-pit deep within the shattered remains of Unicron. They formed Defensor and escaped when Trailbreaker and Silverbolt released the prisoners, and presumably either returned to their timeline of origin or joined Optimus Primal's Children of Primus against Unicron's minions.

Toys

The Universe Micromaster Protectobots are a very slight redeco of the Generation 1 Sixturbo team. The six individual members were packaged separately, available originally as exclusives to Kay-Bee stores, but later appeared in Sears stores during the Christmas season (Kay-Bee partnered with Sears, a chain that usually doesn't have a toy department), as well as being available online at K-Mart's web site. This was also released in Europe, but under the Energon line.
