G2 Prototype Defensor Uncovered Gallery Part 5 Hotspot

I had never seen full pictures of G2 Hot Spot before this, I never knew what his colour layout looked like... I like it! Kinda want Combiner Wars to do one.

I would be so sad if CW didn't offer G2 deco's. Even as exclusives I'd buy them.

Usually I'm all about G2, but the teal and orange is very... strange. Makes them look unfinished or too random or something.

Well they are prototypes; I would be down for any and all G2 repaints;

Egad, is that thing bland without its stickers!

My girlfriend had to say this about G2 Hotspot: 'You could own a turd from John Lennon, it may be a rare thing, but it's still ugly and disturbing'.

Its time to repaint the CW set ! Cmon hasbro, this is way cooler then those weird fembot repaints !

I think it would be printing money, especially if they decided to do a platinum or re-issue of the originals with the club or something. It would be amazing if they did something.

I actually think Hot Spot doesn't look horrible. From brief odd pictures we'd barely seen around I thought it would be worse. I don't hate it, but it is G2 odd for sure.

At least this is a total redeco. Operation: Combination Fire Chief still had parts cast in the original light blue of G1 Hot Spot:



The orange and red do go together, but the teal chest sticks out like a sore thumb. Worse, there are no other part cast or painted in the same color to offset it. But that's G2 for you

G2 combiners would be printing money if they were CW or original reissues. For the life of me I don't know why they haven't tried reissues yet. Seriously, IMAGINE people clamoring over an official release of the real G2 Menasor and Defensor.

Tonight we bring you the exciting conclusion to z75sales G2 Defensor gallery, with the big bot himself! This flashy fella was never put into production and only a few "samples" made their way into the world, making this Combiner one of the rarest Transformers ever.

You know if you take a step back and look at the situation, it's truly surprising that one of the largest toy companies in the world released toys in these colors

Or they think they can fool people into thinking this is creative or "new".

That's not fair, though they were weird colors, it was a good way to get the combiners you may have missed out on years earlier

Wheres the confusion? It was the 90's. EVERYTHING looked like that

True, look at bw Injector and TM2 scourge

Yeah shame on Nerf for painting toy guns in florescent colors.

Im not into collecting bricks anymore, but Ill drop $200 in a heartbeat for a G2 Combiner Wars Defensor. This color scheme is awesome !

Rare crud is still crud. I don't wonder it never went into production. What an eyesore. Looks like a clown threw up all over it....

Maybe he's double-edged?

I'm with you on that. Pair it up with a G2 Menasor re-issue too. Chuh-Ching.

Anyone got any ideas as to where Hot Spot's stickers would have gone? At any rate, this is definitely a very useful set of images. Will prove invaluable for creating custom G2 Protectobots out of bootlegs.

Cool. I hope to own a prototype one day
