The Protectobots also receive a new face in Combiner Wars, and this guy is...well, nobody knows much about him, to be honest.

Rook's Protectobot Directives:
1. Serve the public trust.
2. Protect the innocent.
3. Uphold the law.
4. CLASSIFIED.
+Daniel Brant You forgot 5. Scrap Decepticons!
+Gareth Scott 6. Anger the G1 fandom.
+Daniel Brant 7. Yaoi with Offroad?
He is a literal Robo-cop.
+AncientrobotSatan Type 2.1 Maybe Prowl is more properly a robo-cop? (Also for his nature)
rooks weapon is actually baced on equipment rescue called the jaws of life.
+maskedwarrior The hell do they do?
+tbonbrad they're for rescuing people from crashed cars. It works like the reverse of scissors, you poke the tip in and the blades push apart the crumpled metal making escape for the trapped passengers inside the wreckage possible
I watched this and all I could think for the whole time was: "Why in hell they didn't use THIS mold for Ironhide?" Granted Ironhide traditional vehicle mod is closer i concept to a truck, not a six-wheeled APC, but tell me that this won't fit him, right down to knuckle cannons waterguns.
Your right, that woulda been a damn good idea.
Francesco Castelli Well, Swindle was remoulded to have only four wheels.
Interesting. I always saw Rook as being a Russian Cop, due to the head sculpt. Never thought Robocop.
6:49 The protectobots are still my favorite combiner wars team. Love these guys!
DEFINITELY, VANGE1US WATCHES LOTS OF ANIME
"Your move, creep". You read my mind.
Now I have to watch Robocop 1 & 2 again. Not complaining though
So glad to see your skits again, I missed them greatly
Excellent choice of character. Maybe they SHOULD let Vangelus have a go at penning something official. With under a minute of talking he's defined two empty vessel characters wonderfully. I love his Offroad (you will never see that personality in American anything) and Rook just feels right.
Offroad DOES kind of hit a lot of 'Japanese villain' tropes, being high-pitched and sadistic, whereas Rook, true to his appearance, is a dependable, by-the-book guy who doesn't compromise when it comes to saving lives: if there's some asses in need of a good kicking, then by Primus, he's going to kick them!
@@Nehfarius I guess you must've miss this "--(you will never see that personality in American anything)"
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE ROBOCOP ANGLE YOU'VE USED HERE.
love that RoboCop opening. can't we to get my hands on this combiner set!!!
Dude, just wanted to say thank you for what you do! Your reviews are informative, entertaining and optimistic! I'm a huge fan. keep it up!
I like Rook more than Groove. There, I said it.
Meh well he has no hands though...s
plus rookwas an non limb menber for his g1 figure
I`m not a Genwunner.
I am totally in to Tv-Nihon Offroad.
Love it Vangelus, looks great!! and I adore the voice over
This intro was brought to you by TV-Nihon
We need transparent red/orange hand feet so Rook can do Shining God Finga!! And blue/purple to do Hell and Heaven from GaoGaiGar.
PROTECTOBOT ROOK INSIDE THE PRISON JAIL WANTED COMMANDER HEIST
Chris, I love you for that robocop reference. Great intro brother.
this guy was my first combiner Wars toy so he's special to me for just that reason alone
Don't forget, that GCW Rook mold will be used on two TF Timeline characters: 2016 TFSS Impactor and Botcon 2016 Tarantulas.
i think whenever i get Rook i'm going to blackout the POLICE & SWAT text & just pretend he's some kind of Mars/Lunar Rover.
ROOK's WEAPON RIOT SHIELD
Aw, I was looking forward to an TFC Neckbreaker "BIG HAAAANDS mode" cameo.
When I got the reprolabels I put "to serve and protect" on his toes. I'm so happy with myself.
"Dead. Alive. You're coming with me".
Gotta love those robocop references at the beginning 👍
The Scott Steiner reference pleases me greatly.
I love the little side-stories you do with these o w o
I was kind of hoping for Rook to have a horrible faux-Russian accent (e.g. those supposedly Russian characters from Rocky and Bullwinkle) but being Robocop works too.
I was thinking Heavy Weapons Guy.
+Wave Sine So was I, but I will take a Vangelus action scene how ever I can.
These intros are so awesome. I think if you wanted to make a show out of it, I think you could pull it off
Cool intro, great animation. My guess for the claw weapon is bomb disposal, grabbing things and disabling them?
Neat, an action sequence right off the bat!
Did you get the Perfect Effect Upgrades for Menasor? I noticed in the intro that Offroad had a gun similar to the hand guns from Perfect Effect's Upgrade kits.
I'm just gonna go ahead and say that rook is probably the best combiner wars figure, period. Better than any other limb bot, the torso bot, and even the leader class figures. Also you can flip his back kibble upwards so that port can be used in robot mode and that gives him a decent shoulder mounted weapon look.
Probably not...
he has no hands XD
+Jetfire48 He might not have any normally, but you _can_ give him hands. (although he only comes with one by default...)
+Jetfire48 Yes he does.
+Jetfire48 Not in the traditional sense, sure. But between having gun fists, shoulder ports, etc. he more than makes up for it.
also, he looks GREAT if you give him First Aid's ax.
Rook is beastly, and more than acceptable as a substitute.
I was all set to pass on this guy but you have convinced me to get it. maybe ill pick up 4 and put them on my Cyclonus.
can you say "Police Enforcer" also I'm holding out for a Bigtrac repaint of this mould
I have owned Rook since it came out & I wasn't really a fan.. until you put the idea of him being like an Autobot version Robocop in my head lol
CAN'T GET OVER THAT INTRO! =D
I like to think of his clamp thingy as a Railgun upgrade because Imagination
gotta love that Animeish intro! well done, keep them coming!
its gonna be fun putting this guy in pyro colors
Well I don't own a Rook, but I did find and purchase Swindle at my local comic shop. Sure he has no knuckle blasters so he can't do the whole hulk hands thing, but he is by far not just my favourite CW deluxe, but out if my collection THE best Generations deluxe class figure to date! His enginering is identical to Rook but almost every single part of the figure is a new sculpt. Even the weapons! Colour me impressed! I want more from this sculpt! MORE I SAY!!!
I got Hound, and I agree with you. One neat thing about Hound is that his gun can go on his shoulder. Was kinda just hard to put it in the first time though.
those decepticon yatsuras
'Your move creep.' Nice touch
I think some SWAT team members would be also part of a bomb disposal unit. Perhaps that is what the weapon is for?
I love the Rook-Cop scene a little too much.
They should make more figures for this character. Make him a voyager or leader so the vehicle is more in scale. That would also make sense for his powerhouse nature.
I'll be getting the TFCC SS Impactor version
Just wait until TF Subscription Service Impactor comes around.
I really love this guy. Can't afford him right now, but if I get a spot of cash I will lay it down for this ushanka-football-SWAT beefcake.
hes 14$ where I am at
I, as a rule, haven't been interested in getting any of the Combiner Wars deluxes because I've always felt weird about getting just one bot out of a five (or six) man team that are intended to be bought in groups. However, for _this_ one I will happily make an exception to that rule to get my hands on him (and a second Protectobot to get another giant hand for Rook) because he's just so damned amazing looking.
rook was an actually g1 character (sorta) he was made form the g1 swerve mold
+Jetfire48
Not the same character though.
Arnold Schwarzenegger be like 😍 (your move, CREEP) waaa!!
Do tav Override! it's awesome a thousand time better than groove, from the paintjob to the pictures on the back of the box, it's super cool, my fvourite legends figure of this year.
Why did it take me so long to get that Robocop reference?!
that intro though. it makes me regret not getting this figure
the more people talk about nosecone being remolded into a figure i think he deserves an new mold because Nosecone from Brawl just look at that alt mold he deserves better remolding... Plus nosecone is not a beef guy so i do not see him being remolded into a Drill tank plus Air raid i think its a good idea but people are talking me out of it
Great intro, dude!
Oh god haha You attended big poppa pumps mathematics academy 😃
Fun intro!
Oh god. Some stop the madness! The kawaii madness!
0:23 What music is when rook faces of against offroad
DECEPTICON, THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE. AND THEY SPELL DISASTER FOR YOU!
Everytime i see that intro, i think if that bleach anime, dont know why, its because of off roads accent, thats why
also the opening is lacking in giganticc fisto actionu
nice opening, now I miss Robocop-chan.
I need to get him
i feel like we need to be good friends
RoboCop reference!!! yay!!!!
That intro wtf. XD
Look forward to Rook being in the newest Robocop movie!! Robocop 2; Checkmate
I would watch that
If you're going to do translations, leave them up more than a split second so we can actually read them! Other then that, great review!
Best limb.
STOP DRIVEDOWN HEIST YOU ARE UNDERAREST
STOP SKY COMMANDER PETELOSITY YOU ARE UNDERAREST
KISAMA!
I think the toy itself is meh. But the design of the character is so massive and cool!
I hope it ends with a yaoi scene
Nope, no yaoi scene between Rook and Offroad.
"Wreck some ish" ????
STOP COMMANDER HEIST GET PROTECTBOT ROOK AND GROOVE AND STREETWISE AND AUTOBOT PROWL AND CHASE AND STRONGARM
Rook-ller skates where
I'd rather want deluxe Groove to replace this figure...ugh...
the japanese is unreal here desu!

Holy, I cringed so hard. Good job.
