Generation 2 Defensor and Menasor are toys in the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

Generation 2 Defensor and Generation 2 Menasor are toys which are highly sought after by collectors. The Decepticon Shortround, himself an obsessive collector of such toys from throughout the galaxy, considers his complete, mint condition versions of these items to be the prizes of his collection.

It is unknown exactly what sort of toys these items are. Therefore, it is also unknown what relationship, if any, they might have to the Transformers bearing the names "Defensor" and "Menasor" that are known to exist within the multiverse.

Fiction and reality

In case it's unclear, the above toys are fictional, since they're part of the collection of a fictional character.

mmmm, unobtainium

In the real world, HasTak initially planned to release Protectobot and Stunticon toys in Generation 2 (which would thus combine into Generation 2 Defensor and Menasor, respectively), but canceled them after making a handful of production samples. These samples are, just like their namesakes in the Cybertron universe, coveted by collectors, despite being neon enough to glow in the dark.
