Profile

"Rust never sleeps; neither do I!"

Likes to be where the action is. Charismatic and inspiring, but the other Protectobots have trouble keeping up with his non-stop pace. Believes in being maximally operational every moment of one's life. His fire truck hose shoots high-pressure water 1200 feet. As robot, can press 60,000 pounds. Uses fireball cannons that shoot bursts of 2000 degrees Fahrenheit blue flame 1.5 miles. Can employ repair bay mode, armed with fireball cannons, primarily for battlefield protection and triage unit. With fellow Protectobots, forms Defensor.
