Rook (CW)

The name or term "Rook" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Rook (disambiguation).

Rook is an Autobot Protectobot from the IDW G1 continuity family.

When the going gets tough, Rook is the Protectobot you need. Equipped with durabyllium super-alloy armor, he can take nearly any punishment you care to throw at him. Add to that his extensive knowledge of tactics, and you'll have a hard time trying to get one over on Rook!

Toys

Generations

• Protectobot Rook (Deluxe, 2015)
  • Accessories: Gun/spear thing, double-barreled gun/fist/foot

Released as part of the Combiner Wars subline imprint of Generations, Rook can transform into either an armored SWAT vehicle or a limb for any combiner from the same subline. He is intended to be combined with Hot Spot, Streetwise, First Aid and Blades to form Defensor (with Groove now serving as a chest piece). Because Rook has both 5mm fists and 5mm holes in front of his fists, he can wield his included accessory as an integrated weapon or use the fists for the Combiner Wars combiners as Hulk-like super fists. That is AWESOME.

Notes

• Rook's headsculpt is designed to evoke a rook playing piece from chess.
