    One of my favorites! Protectobots! Awesome indeed! The good 'ol days when steel was added commonplace on a G1, and the plastic wasn't chewy!

  • @mitchsantona
    @mitchsantona  12 лет назад +3

    Im pretty shocked this review is getting the views it is, but since my audience has a pretty big younger age demographic, I figured thursday Throwback wouldbe a good way to introduce the stuff that got us hooked.
    And the best pa!!!rt about it its gien me a renewed appretion of these guys. I forgot about the sexy ladder till i broke it out again

  • @ReinaHW
    @ReinaHW 11 лет назад +6

    I remember having this entire set and loved it, they were the first complete combiner set I ever had until years later. I wish I hadn't given them away back in the 90s.
    Would be nice to see them return with a Generations remake and be able to combine as long as it's made well.

  • @mitchsantona

    thanks bud, I just switched First Aid to a foot and think that looks a lot better than streetwise. Streetwise is a nicer arm. Thanks man

    The older stuff is kinda neat for a restrospective. Can't really remember a ton about the true G1 stuff (plus all of my older toys have been lost over the years) so it's like seeing these things for the first time.

  • @WileyE19
    @WileyE19 12 лет назад +1

    Nice set, mine is showing it's age but still holds together, can't beat G1. He's probably the best proportioned G1 combiner. Great review, keep 'em coming.

  • @mitchsantona

  • @gazrees872
    @gazrees872 10 лет назад +8

    I only had 3 members of Defensor....Hotspot, first aid and the cop car. Also only had 3 of Menasor (dead end, break down, Motormaster)...and 3 of Superion (no Silverbolt)....and none of Bruticus. Had to mix them up to combine. Ah, nostalgia. Cool reviews, buddy. I'm 36 now, and still love this stuff. G1 rules.

  • @LukeVesty

    Streetwise is one of the few interchangable combiners that has a head that is not a connector to the leader leg

  • @taroleung6861

    And i love THE firetruck!!!

  • @damnyouhussies
    @damnyouhussies 12 лет назад

    love these guys so much, one of my favourite combiners, hot spot is a great stand alone toy, great colours, extending ladder, nice transformation and awesome head sculpt. These are in great condition, really impressive. The incorporated head mode was very clever for its time hidden in the ladder housing.

  • @GraemePryceUK
    @GraemePryceUK 11 лет назад

    I had Hotspot, Streetwise and Blades when I was a kid. Hotspot was really good, I used to love his stickers and stripes and stuff too. I used to have to make up mish ash combiners though cos I never had a complete team! I used to use technobot Nosecone and slingshot to make comp/defender-rion or something. lol

  • @leighglover570
    @leighglover570 Год назад

    My favourite autobot combiner group had them all loved groove for some reason and yep I just got mp grapple and have to be very careful with those tight joints

  • @rjc7289
    @rjc7289 6 лет назад

    Definitely have to agree with the awesomeness of Hot Spot, not just for the telescoping ladder, but also for the fact that Defensor's head is built-in and not another separate piece that can easily be lost.

  • @SJHFoto
    @SJHFoto 9 лет назад

    They held a place in my heart because of the comics. In UK, they were special teams, and in US, they were assigned to arrest Goldbug and Blaster by Grimlock

  • @ronaldclayton3999
    @ronaldclayton3999 6 лет назад

    When I was a kid in the mid to late 80s I had the blue firetruck,couldn't remember his name till I I seen this.The only full combiner I had was bruticus.

  • @rehabfoxy2558
    @rehabfoxy2558 9 лет назад

    Ahhh, my first ever Autobot combiner brings back the memories, this and Devastator used to be my favorites. Now it's Superion, and Predaking :)

    This is another video of what my mother gave away.....ah man I miss this guy. I remember he was heavy when combined.

  • @Elbisrever
    @Elbisrever 12 лет назад +1

    You can 'fold out' the legs of First Aid in his arm mode, since the other side also has a place fit the fist ( I know, it sounds wrong). This way you can make his First Aid arm longer

  • @Wenomechainsama
    @Wenomechainsama 5 лет назад

    One of the protectobots I had was Hotspot. I even brought it to the school. I said to my classmates who never known him that he was Optimus Prime xD, that made them so jealous. My friends were the only ones in my class to know that it was Hotspot lol

  • @sibylsaint
    @sibylsaint 2 года назад

    First Aid can be a longer arm. Everyone does it like you have, with the stubby ambulance arm, but if you flip his legs down, there are holes for the hand just like before, and you can give him a longer arm.

  • @Biofan813

  • @sideswipe8469

    Blades is my favorite of the Protectobots because he makes a great addition to my Metroplex and his helipad.

  • @nathanbarger3449
    @nathanbarger3449 Год назад +1

    They were a great set. Unfortunately I wish they had them featured more in the cartoon and the comic book. Even had a introduction episode for them. Than just have them pop up out of nowhere in the revenge of Bruticus.

  • @teamepiphanyconnor

  • @ReinaHW
    @ReinaHW 9 лет назад

    I had the entire team when I was young, the only complete combiner team I ever had. They were great. Looking forward to having the Combiner Wars set soon, hopefully.

    • @ReinaHW
      @ReinaHW 9 лет назад

      I was lucky to be able to get them all bit by bit, sadly I gave them away in 1995 because I thought I no longer needed them. Fairly miss them.
      So I'm looking forward to the Combiner Wars remakes, hope they'll be joining the collection soon.

    • @ReinaHW
      @ReinaHW 9 лет назад

      The limbs I got gradually over the years and my brother gave me Hot Spot for Christmas in 1992 or so. They were a great team, limited in many ways yet a lot of fun.

  • @MrJohnjohn35
    @MrJohnjohn35 12 лет назад

    thank's for replying, like i say it's the first time i'd seen a metal chest one, i know on some of the other combiner's they had two different chest's either die-cast or plastic but i never knew it applyed to hotspot? very cool!

  • @romehines2192
    @romehines2192 7 лет назад

    i love the combiners all of them are super easy to transform

  • @damnyouhussies
    @damnyouhussies 12 лет назад

    two different versions of the G1. The firs run had die cast but the second printing used plastic. I think both were released in equal amounts and often packed in the same assortments.

  • @JamesL1976
    @JamesL1976 11 лет назад

    I've watched a lot of transformers toy reviews, mostly g1 stuff, but this is the first one that i actually felt nostalgic. I don't know why, but watching you transform and talk about them made me remember watching the cartoons and wishing I had these :) Keep up the great work!

    Great review. I bought a KO, very cheaply made defensor for like $8. It came with a red Hot Spot. A bit of baby blue paint and stick him behind some other TFs, and you can't tell the difference from across the room. Just don't try to pick it up :)

    I used to have that team as a child. Of course, being a child Defensor ended up in the trash.
    Now I got it back and I had to pay almost 200$CAN to get it back. No regrets because he's fucking awesome.

  • @jasonpdsi

  • @spicykimchi1
    @spicykimchi1 7 лет назад

    As a kid, the only full set I had was the Combaticons set. (Bruticus is one of my favorites.) But I noticed that the Combaticons, the Protectobots, and the Stunticons toys had the same sort of pattern of transforming into their big-ass mode.
    I did have 4-of-the-5 protectobots. I never did get the firetruck guy, but I look back thinking, "Why did I buy the freakin' Protectobots?"

  • @Thespanglerangler
    @Thespanglerangler 6 лет назад

    Seems like, if I can remember correctly, Firstaid had a port for the hand on the bottom of his feet so while in arm configuration his legs were folded down, making him the same length as the other arm.

  • @6672rock
    @6672rock 8 лет назад

    I just picked up a G1 Defensor recently. I just love those G1 combiners! So far, I've got Defensor, Computron, Abominus, Bruticus and Devastator. So, if memory serves me correctly, I need Superion from the Autobot side and Pirahnacon and Predaking from the Decepticon side. I know somebody who has a Takara Tomy Predaking for sale, and they want about $250 for it. I don't know if that's reasonable by collectors' standards. As for the combiners I don't have, I see the individual robots here and there, but not enough for a complete set. Like this one place I visited called Level Up Entertainment in my local mall, and they have 4 of the 5 Seacons, 2 of the 5 Aerialbots, and only Razorclaw from the Predacons. Damn, so close! LOL! Anyway, it gives me something to aspire to, and I plan on growing my G1 collection by leaps and bounds!

  • @originaluddite
    @originaluddite 6 лет назад

    One thing that makes Hot Spot superior to all other Scramble City team leaders is that you cannot lose Defensor's head, and we know how kids and even adults will lose those accessories.

  • @Skullgrin140
    @Skullgrin140 12 лет назад

    You are right man the vintage toys were made to last and on the transformers they did put cool details on to them and nice plastic the new lines are getting very cheap and juts put a loot of hallow parts in to the figure to save money so it sucks, this guys look amazing man each has his own transformation and also form a bad ass giant. Hot spot looks awesome very cool color to him looks like a guy from transformers cybertron Mudflap.
    great thumps up

    I dont know why but he was always fighting the bad construction team from the micromasters and when he was already dead then astrotrain was coming and rescuing him.
    dont judge me , in my playing mind astrotrain was an autobot when i was 8 years old:)
