    I ordered a set of Protectobots from Agesthreeandup, but now I can't wait.

    I noticed in the transformation video that he wished it clicked in (or something along those lines ) i have made them click in in robotmode. It's to hard for me to explain how i did it but, it can be done is what im trying to point out.

    The thing that bugs me with my hot spot though is the red chest in robot mode falls off when i try to swing it downwards :(

    I'm not liking how the ladder works to some extent because it looks like Onslaught's cannons will be blocked by the large hunk of metal sitting at the end of them. Hopefully Hasbro makes it so one can still have the cannons extended above Onslaught and Bruticus's heads without partsforming.

    Depending on how they do the head, it's entirely possible for the cannons to display properly if they use this mold for Onslaught.

    They've set it up so an entirely different piece will replace the ladder. That piece could transform in a different direction to Defensor too.

    Even if it faces the same way, the ladder faces the same way up on the back as it does in vehicle mode. If the guns face forward in vehicle mode, they'll end up pointing straight up his back the way they should in torso mode.

    Cool. I get the feeling that Onslaught might be even better than Hotspot.

    Okay, that torso transformation is just plain awesome. Can't wait for mine to arrive!

    That was a really good review, Optibotimus. You were very detailed. You covered concerns I had about the new figure. I really hope Hasbro takes this type of criticism to heart and actually learns from this review.

    Looking forward to what your thoughts will be about Combiner Wars Cyclonus.

    I agree Optibotimus, Defensor looks great, but not as good as Menasor proportion-wise.

    That is complete and utter crazy talk, menasor is the one most desperately in need of upgrades as he by far has the absolute worst stock proportions and thank goodness he's gonna get them.

    All defensor needs is new hands and feet and those are already on the way very soon.
