Defensor (G1)
| The name or term "Defensor" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Defensor (disambiguation). |
- Defensor is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.
The combined form of the five Protectobots Defensor exists specifically to safeguard human life. 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.
Defensor's most notable ability is a powerful force feild he can create within 50ft of his person, but it is very fuel consumptive and he cannot maintain it for long.

When First Aid was unable to prevent the theft of Metroplex's transformation cog, he left the Protectobots, feeling that he was useless and a liability to the rest of the Autobots. Unfortunately, this left the remaining Protectobots with the unenviable task of resuming their duties as Defensor with only one arm. The Ultimate Weapon

- Defensor is formed out of the five individual Protectobots, with Hot Spot serving as the central torso component. Unusually for Scramble City-style combiners, Defensor's head is not a separate piece, but hidden inside his fire truck ladder assembly, like Inferno. He is armed with Hot Spot's twin laser rifles.
- Defensor was available as the individual Protectobots sold separately, or as a giftset.
- This mold was later redecoed into Guard City.
