Robot Mode - Quite like it - very indicative of G1/IDW First Aid though I wish his backpack was a little smaller. Good head on him and well proportioned and poseable. Very good overall

Vehicle mode - had seen screen shots but didn't realize how elongated and streamlined he would be. Kinda like a stretched out Animated Ratchet. Definitely an emergency rescue vehicle rather than a boxy ambulance. Looks cool, but I would have preferred something a bit more traditional. The weapon on the roof works surprisingly well though.

Transformation is pretty much the same as all the other similar CW figures, though I had a surprisingly tough time getting the pegs on his legs to clip into the back of the cab.


To be honest, I would have been happy with the Asia Kids day Protectobot First Aid as I really liked the alt-mode, but without a new headsculpt it just looked too much like TFPrime Ratchet so I'm glad this figure came along. A decent representation of the character and all the tech specs on the comic are a nice touch (Just a shame he isn't in the actual comics story ). Well worth picking up if you intend to build Defensor .
