Title:
First Aid Defensor Protectobot 4/5
Description:
Protectobot First Aid (Deluxe Class, 2015)
4 of 5: Defensor
Accessories: Axe, double-barrelled gun/fist/foot
Known designers: John Warden (Hasbro)
Released as part of the Combiner Wars subline imprint of Generations, First Aid is an extensive retool of Combiner Wars Decepticon Offroad. He transforms into either an Advanced Life Support (ALS) vehicle that most closely resembles a Terrier LT-79, or a limb for any combiner in the same subline or any Unite Warriors Voyager class figure or into one of Legends Godbomber’s legs, although he officially forms the right leg of Defensor. He has a tab on the roof of his vehicle mode that fits into a slot on his fist/foot accessory, allowing it to serve as a gun. He is the only Deluxe Class Protectobot whose instructions actually show him using the gun in this manner. While the front hood/windshields are needed to be folded as kneecaps for his leg mode, the piece also had a tendency to dislodge if he collides to Hot Spot’s (or his redecoes/retools) protruding foot while the legs are being swiveled in his standing position, unless the leg joints are bent down to lessen the problem.
First Aid comes with a copy of "Combiner Wars #12” (actually The Transformers #36). In Canada, Latin America, and Europe, the comic is omitted and replaced with a collector card featuring the figure’s package art.
As a part of the third and fourth wave promotion in Hasbro’s Asian markets, a free sticker sheet for the Protectobots and Optimus Maximus was given out when purchasing any four Deluxe Class toys from those waves. As such, First aid was given Generation 1 toy-esque stickers for the owner to apply if they wanted.
The original version of this mold was also used to make TFSS Grabuge and Unite Warriors Zombie War Breakdown, and was differently retooled into Combiner Wars Ironhide and Trailbreaker.
