    We're leading off now with the next of the Combiner Wars Protectobots - and the first of the four recently-released Wave 3 Deluxes! Deluxe Wave 3 brings in the four limbs of the Protectobot combiner, Defensor, and we proudly bring you this gallery of First Aid!

    First Aid is a heavy remold of the Decepticon, Offroad. By "heavy remold" we mean "the basic toy is the same, but everything about it has been changed up". It's a really nice way to reuse the design but also give First Aid the distinct identity he deserves. Both modes are solid and look great - and there's lots of channels molded in the surface of the robot mode parts, reflecting Alex Milne's designs for First Aid in the More than Meets the Eye comic. As with Offroad, the poseability is excellently done, and the remolding on First Aid does little to hamper the range of movement that this mold presents.

    Overall, First Aid is a really well done Autobot. There is a lot of personality in the design, and he will likely fit into any collection, either as a part of the Protectobots, or with the crew of the Lost Light. Check out our gallery to admire this one for yourselves:

    Combiner Wars First Aid battle pose - though it seems weird posing him thus, given he's a guy the cartoon and More than Meets the Eye comic characterizes as disliking violence.

    Man he looks good I need to sell off tons so I can get all these guys.

    Even though I know it's just because of the mold reuse the axe does kind of work as a big "cutting tool" for medical or rescue operations.

    This thing looks like trash. A pity compared to what deluxes used to be.

    Every time I see First Aid's axe, I think of that Scrubs Janitor joke "Hold still. Nobody likes a jagged stump."

    A) Someone needs reprolabels for their G1 First aid.
    B) Why aren't Swerve & Skids in the LL crew picture?

    I've been on this board since Energon and Deluxes have never been what Deluxes "used to be"

    I'm curious to know, did you like the Autobot brothers in RID that much?

    A) Unlikely I'd bring myself to do it, I'm a sentimental guy.
    B) Because I had trouble getting them all posed so they weren't crowding each other out. (On the same token, Cyclonus isn't there. Or Drift. Or Ratchet. etc. )

    I can picture First Aid saying, "Just gonna take a little of the side there...uh oh! I've done it again! Curse your inaccurate cutting medical axe!!"

    True. But those guys aren't toys made as a result of MTMTE. But perfectly good reason
