Bios- Hot Spot

Rust never sleeps, and neither do I.

Likes to be where the action is. Charismatic, inspiring... 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. With fellow Protectobots, forms "Defensor".

I wish the store employees were this happy to sell me Transformers at Target.

Guarding this here city

Thinking more about my Guard City idea, I think using Moonracer won't be too big of a departure for my POTP Guard City idea. I mean, it won't be to exact as is, but the teal is close enough to the blue that Fly Up has. Seeing as none of these will be exact anyway, I think it just may work. Sure, I could use my Protectobots with Inferno, but they're currently in use as Defensor. Besides, I didn't specify what city their guarding anyway. Jazz is a special agent and Moonracer is in the business of defending. Cities even.

Groove is in the disheart

So last years May Mayhem event was pretty much a breeze. The launch day came, at midnight several online stores sold out fast, I waited until morning and bought the toys at Targets site for less than anywhere else.

Needless to say, I got cocky.

We hear news of this years May Mayhem toy will be deluxe Combiner Wars Groove and he'll go on sale in May. Then no news followed. Rumors of a May 24th release came and ...

It was just preorders. Target didn't stock them on their website this year.

CRAP.

I looked around at sites with no clear info other than Amazon shipped a few out before the toy went into preorder status again.

For once, the fandom that knows everything was clueless.

So after giving up and accepting the truth, I preordered Groove. Luckily, I got mine at Entertainment Earth, the one place that wasn't charging astronomical prices for the figure. Just a dollar over regular deluxe retail price. Pretty much exactly what I paid at Targets site last year.

Of course this year it's a preorder and I won't actually pay until he ships IN OCTOBER. Which really isn't a problem, but it sure would have been nice to know ahead of time.
