Transforms from helicopter to robot and back!

PROTECTOBOT: BLADES

FUNCTION: AIR SUPPORT
"War's a dirty game--and I'm a dirty player!"

Basically a street fighter--prefers using rotor blades for slashing Decepticons rather than for flying. Considers long-range air attacks unsporting, cowardly. Maximum speed: 400 mph; range 1200 miles. Twin launchers fire "smart" rockets that seek targets based on encoded computer images. Uses photon pistol. Combines with fellow Protectobots to form "Defensor".

Transformers Tech Specs


Blades, like Groove, badly suffered from "theme vehicle" syndrome, resulting in an unattractively slender robot with huge helicopter skids on the top of his arms, not to mention highly visible rotor blades sticking out from the small of his back. With the help of these two, plus their terrible cartoon exposure, the Protectobots were practically DOA.
