just a few "teaser" shots to get you started.

"Where's the emergency?"

Groove hangin' on

Cyclonus' less than happy face

That was fast. It takes longer to get something posted from Melbourne to Brisbane. (I had something posted by Autobreadticon on Tuesday 14th and tracking says it arrived at my Postbox on Monday 20th - six days!)

Thought i would post the bios of the protectobots here

Blades
Blades can take his alternate form - a chopper - a little to literally. Sure, he carries plenty of firepower. But he'd much rather shred enemies with his rotors, bringing them down with a whirling flurry of copter kung fu.

First Aid
FIRST AID is just as likely to be first on the scene to help a wounded bot as he is to show up to repair a broken dishwasher. To the PROTECTOBOT medic, the greatest enemy is malfunction. Human, bot, or machine - if it's broken, FIRST AID won't carry on until it's back up and running.

Groove
Freedom fighter would sacrifice his own spark if it would bring peace.

Hot Spot
The duty of the PROTECTOBOTS dose not stop when the battle is over. Hot Spot and his team of heroes will come to mankind's defense whenever danger threatens.

Rook
If you need a rescue deep behind enemy lines or deep beneath battlefield rubble, Rook can get it done. His durabyllium super-alloy armor can withstand punishing blasts and hold up under crushing weight, and his tactical knowledge can get him out of any jam.

Streetwise
Fully capable of wiping out any target, Streetwise would rather track 'em down and let justice take its course. Of course, that justice starts with heavy damage to a few of his enemy's key systems. They can't do any harm if they can't function.

Is that seriously Streetwise's bio? He's gone from a smart 'streetwise' investigator who'd track down the bad guys like the hero of a 70s cop/detetcice TV show to... someone who beats up his targets. I know cops in the US are getting a (in some cases desereved) bad rap at the moment, but man. It seems like the writer picked up on a few lines from the original bio (below) and went, yep this guy's a brutal cop.

Nothing escapes Streetwise's notice. He dutifully records the most seemingly insignificant details knowing full well he may have use of such information later. So readily does he adapt to any environment that his fellow Protectobots suspect he possesses a mysterious eighth sense in addition to the seven standard senses with which he was built (sight, hearing, touch, smell, short-range radiowave transmission, magnetic sensitivity, and electric sensitivity). The truth is, Streetwise simply has an amazing capacity for understanding. He easily grasps local dialects; slang expressions instantly become part of his vocabulary. Once he sees a map of a new city, he drives through its streets as if he were born there. And he's as doggedly determined as he is clever. Nothing can deter Streetwise from seeking his prey- except an empty fuel tank.

He's still not the worst type of cop yet - at least he's not beating up migrant Empties and planting Circuit Speeders on them

I thought that too when I read it.
