Blades (Transformers)

Blades is a fictional character in the various Transformers universes. Later versions of the figure were named "Autobot Blades" for trademark purposes.


Transformers: Generation 1
Transformers character
Blades is one of the Protectobots who are an emergency, search and rescue team of five Autobots in the Transformers toyline. They transform into civilian service and emergency vehicles and combine to form the "combiner" Defensor.

A "rough and tough" warrior who prefers close combat with his enemies. Often at odds with the other, more peace-loving Protectobots.[1]

Animated series
The Protectabots first appeared in the second season of the animated series with no origin given.

The Protectobots were last seen supporting Ultra Magnus in a last ditch effort to stop Galvatron in the fourth season. It is assumed that they were restored along with Ultra Magnus when the Golden Age of Cybertron was ushered in.


Marvel Comics
Blades first appeared in issue #24 of the U.S. Marvel series, "Afterdeath!", with no origin given to any of the Protectabots.

He last appeared in issue #36 of the Marvel series, called "Spacehikers".

While he was a minor background character in the U.S. stories, Blades played a very prominent role in the U.K. Transformers/Action Force crossover story "Ancient Relics", where he was sent to London by Grimlock to find Blaster and Goldbug, only to run into the Action Force - and Megatron!

Blades continued to appear in the Marvel Generation 2 series, first appearing in issue #1, "War Without End!". He last appeared in issue #6, "The Gathering Darkness."

Dreamwave Productions
The Protectobots are featured in their Cybertronian forms in the second installment of the War Within comic series. In this chapter of Transformer history (which takes place long before contact with Earth), the Protectobots are a vigilante squad of peacekeepers. While loosely affiliated with the Autobots, they are a splinter group (as are most other special teams).

In issue #2 of the third Generation One series, titled "Black Sunshine", the Protectabots were ordered by Prowl to investigate the energy anomaly created by Sunstorm escaping Shockwave's abandoned secret lab. When they arrived they discovered the hole left in the roof by Sunstorm and the deactivated Battlechargers Runabout and Runamuck. Streetwise reported back to Prowl as First Aid repaired the Decepticons.

IDW Publishing
Blades appeared in issue #2 of Megatron Origin. In this story, set on ancient Cybertron Blades was a member of an Autobot security force in the city of Kaon. His squad was hunting the operators of gladiatorial contests in the degenerate slums, particularly Megatron.


Toys
Blades toyGeneration 1 Blades (1986)
Blades was redecoed as the Autobot Fly-Up in 1992, part of the Guard City set.
Generation 2 Blades (unreleased)
Prototypes of redecos of all the Protectabots were released for the Transformers: Generation 2 toy line, but they never made it to general release. The few that were produced are considered highly collectable.
Universe Classic Series Voyager Autobot Blades (2008)
A redeco of Cybertron Voyager Evac. The back of the package for Blades shows him with a Planet X style Cyber Key, but the toy itself comes with an Autobot Cybertron Cyber Key. The fusilage length of the actual helicoper Blades is based on is 11.64 meters long, where the larger Blades toys has a fusilage 26 centimeters long, giving it a scale of about 1:44. Using this information would indicate Blades would stand about 23 feet tall in robot mode.
Universe Legends Autobot Blades (2008)
A redeco of Cybertron Legends Evac. Packaged with several other Legends redecos. A Target store exclusive. The Micro class version of the toy is only 10.5 centimeters long, giving it a scale of about 1:110.

Transformers: Energon
The Autobot Quickstrike seems to be a possible homage to Generation 1 Blades.

Transformers: Universe
The Micromaster Autobot Ro-Tor seems to be a possible homage to Generation 1 Blades.
