Okay, so I'm pretty much leaning towards making a set of Protectobots to go with my Leader Class Hot Spot (RiD OP) once I get settled in the new apartment. To stick with rough robot mode scale consistency, I'm thinking about going with Voyager scale figures. Animated and Movie style are out of the question.
I'm not going to make them combine. Like my Predacon Alts and my
BW/Classics Terrorcons, I basically just want them as a group. In fact, they do not really have to transform although that's obviously a plus.
Here are my vague plans so far:
Blades = Universe Blades. Even though he's not 100% accurate in terms of form, he's too close to miss. I will repaint him and possibly change the head.
Streetwise = Alt Prowl. A bit big maybe but I'd rather have that than a Deluxe. I want to keep the main characteristics so he needs a vertical hood as chest. I don't recall seeing any Voyager size cars anyway outside of the Alternators, so...
First Aid = I have some really cool plans for transforming him into an accurate
G1 style van, I just need to check some sizes...
Groove = a big question mark. There are no appropriate Voyager bikes and short of going with a stupidly expensive Autovajin, nothing that really looks good. Every combiner I've seen uses heavily modified Axers or Sideways to even begin looking good. This is the one I really need help with... The fact that neither the animation model nor the original toy gives any solid design for him isn't helping either. I'm seeing loads of bike bots but all the police style bikes look horrible. To get a reasonable bot mode the best shot I have right now is Cybertron Ransack but that kills off the bike mode.
