Hot Spot (Protectobot):

Profile: Hotspot likes to be where the action is.  Whether he's trying to put out a fire or win a war, as long as he's surrounded by a swirl of movement he's happy.  He fights with a fluid instinctiveness that seemingly overrides any carefully measured analysis within his logic circuitry.  His leadership is charismatic  and inspiring; the other Protectobots can't help but perform to the best of their abilities when in his company.  However, sometimes they have difficulty  keeping up with his non-stop pace.  His philosophy  is to be maximally operational every moment of his life.  Or as he likes to phrase it, "There are always junkyards for those who rust!"

Abilities: In his fire truck mode, Hotspot can travel at 90 mph and has a range of 600 miles.  His hose line can shoot streams of high pressure water (and other non-corrosive fluids) an effective distance of 1,200 feet.  In robot mode he possesses incredible strength: he can press 60,000 pounds.  He uses a fireball cannon, which can shoot bursts of 2000 degree Fahrenheit blue flame a distance of 1.5 miles.  A special vandium-steel alloy shields him from temperatures of up to 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit.  He combines with his fellow Protectobots to form the giant robot known as Defensor.

Weaknesses: Hotspot's ladder sometimes jams, locking into position when extended.  His fireball cannon often backfires, releasing large amounts of flammable liquid that powers it.  Hotspot himself is invulnerable to the liquid's effects, but the liquid can cause considerable fire damage to anything around him.
