This scum Blades (G1) is really bothering Kenshiro! IT MUST BE REWRITTEN OR ADDED TO!! So sayeth the great god of Earthrealm Raiden: or he will send lightning bolts to terminate you.
Blades is one of the emergency Autobot group called the Protectobots, and a minor character in the Transformers franchise. He transforms into a UH-1 Iroquois Helicopter and forms into the right arm of Defensor. He is a rough and tough warrior who prefers close combat with his enemies, the Decepticons. He often at odds with the other, more peace-loving Protectobots.
When the Insecticons attacked an inhabited city on Earth in The Revenge of Bruticus, Optimus Prime called upon the Protectobots to evacuate the civilians caught in the crossfire. Later, as Earth's orbit was diverted to the Sun by the Combaticons, while Inferno and Red Alert fought the flames, Blades saved civilians trapped by the fires. Soon afterwards he was spraying his limited supply of coolant onto the flames, but was concerned that he was running out and couldn't cool down the whole planet.
In B.O.T, Blades, as part of Defensor, blew up Bruticus. Afterwards, he was with the Protectobots when they arrived to save some window-washers from a burning skyscraper. Blades blew the workers from their dangling platform, so that Streetwise would manage to catch them. Later still, Blades and the other Protectobots were ordered to help defend Autobot Headquarters from a Decepticon attack. They merged into Defensor and activated his force field, which almost immediately deactivated, allowing the Decepticons to blast Defensor back into his component parts.
Comics
According to the UK Comics, in Second Generation, Blades and the Protectobots were first seen in a vision, induced by the Creation Matrix, by Buster Witwicky. As part of this "second generation", Blades and his fellow Protectobots combined into Defensor and fought the Decepticon combiners Bruticus and Menasor while defending the Pullen Power Plant. The Protectobots were eventually given life by the Matrix, but the Decepticons used a cerebro-shell to siphon off the Matrix to create the Protectobots rival Special Teams.
In Afterdeath, Blades and the Protectobots went with Optimus Prime to thwart a Decepticon plot to steal the energy-converting hydrothermocline. While battling Megatron and the Combaticons, the two sides were instead persuaded to fight within a virtual reality by Ethan Zackary, rather than risking it being destroyed. Uploaded to the computer game Multi-World, Blades was partnered with Groove, and they maneuvered through an area called the Cloud-Steppes, where cities floated on clouds and absurdly long walkways were supported underneath them. The Combaticon flyers cut loose one of the walkways, sending Groove and a group of Cloud-Steppers flailing and falling. Against his better judgement, Blades caught the falling humanoids instead of saving his teammate. This proved to be a good idea, as the Cloud-Steppers managed to blind the Combaticons until Groove shot them down. In the end, Optimus Prime declared himself the loser of the game, and so Blades and the other Protectobots watched their leader detonate before their eyes.
