does anyone know when the first appearance of the protectobots was? also i just added to my g1 dvd coillection by buying the season 2 part 2 that was just released (walmart 19.99)

it shows the origin of devastator, superion, bruticus but i either missed or it wasn't even shown the oprigin/1st appearance of defensor.

it seemed like he came out of nowhere. if anyone could shed some light on this for me i would appreciate it.

that's because... he kind of did. cartoon wise at least

it's an episode about insecticons just before the movie.

yeah... i was watching the second part of season 2 and he just appeared. just wondered if anyone has a theory or if there was an actual origin episode like most of the other combiners had.

with those two though we could assume that since 20 years had passed they had better space travel capabilities and they came in from Cybertron

Most characters in Season 2 just appear out of nowhere and take their place lol

Episode 63-"Revenge of Bruticus"
Episode 65-"B.O.T." (didn't merge into Defensor until here)

The combaticons sort of have a background story, but the protectorbots just show up. And for the record, Predaking worked for the quintesons (The Five Faces of Darkness) then switched sides because the plot demanded it.
