Protectobot (PCC)
From MediaWiki
| The name or term "Protectobot" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Protectobot (disambiguation). |
- The Protectobots are a series of Autobot drones from the Power Core Combiners series.
The Protectobots are a team of Super Mode drones for Stakeout. Before, Stakeout was called a "loose cannon" by many. Then, he received his Protectobots and they changed his outlook on things, showing him how important it was to protect and defend others.
The Protectobots include:
- Fighter Jet Drone
- APC Drone
- Mobile Artillery Drone
- Helicopter Drone
Toys
Power Core Combiners
- Stakeout with Protectobots (Power Core Combiners 5-pack, 2010)
- Part of the third wave of Power Core Combiners 5-pack figures, the Protectobots consist of two ground vehicles and two aircraft. Each one has a square socket for a Power Core Combiner connection; when attached via the blue plugs on a Commander figure, the vehicles automatically transform into a super-robot limb, and snap back to vehicle mode when disconnected. Despite the universal connector, each drone can only form one limb type (but can be swapped from left to right):
- Fighter Jet Drone - Leg (Stakeout's left)
- Helicopter Drone - Arm (Stakeout's left)
- Mobile Artillery Drone - Arm (Stakeout's right)
- APC Drone - Leg (Stakeout's right)
- The Helicopter Drone and Fighter Jet Drone are redecoes of two Aerialbots, and the APC Drone and Mobile Artillery Drone are redecos of two Combaticons.
- Power Core Combiners Value Pack (2011)
- Stakeout was also made available as part of a Walmart-exclusive Black Friday "Value Pack", combining a 5-pack team with a Commander 2-pack via packaging tape and a couple of stickers, for a grand total of ten dollars ($20 less than normal retail for such a pairing).
- Stakeout has been found with the Heavytread/Groundspike, Huffer/Caliburst, Searchlight/Backwind and Skyhammer/Airlift 2-packs attached.
Notes
- While the stock photography depicts the APC Drone in tan colors, the actual toy sports a grey coloration.
- In case the idea of a Protectobot team using tanks sits uneasy (why?), in some areas of the world, tanks have been retro-fitted into firefighting equipment. You're welcome.
