The Small Room Problem
Kids' rooms are packed. Bed, desk, toys, clothes, books. Not much shelf space left.
Big collectibles take too much room. One large toy dominates the whole shelf.
Defender Version solves this. Pocket-sized Transformers. 5.5cm tall. Twelve characters fit in 8 inches of space.
Small size. Big collection. Perfect for cramped kids' rooms.
Why Pocket-Scale Works
Space efficient: Twelve Defender characters take same space as one regular toy. More characters, less room.
Won't fall easily: Low center of gravity. Small and stable. Less likely to tumble off shelf during rough play.
Safe size: No sharp corners. Small enough to be safe. Big enough not to be choking hazards (ages 8+).
Portable: Kids can carry entire collection in one small box. Move to friend's house. Take to grandma's. Fits in backpack.
Affordable collecting: $35.88 for twelve characters. About $3 each. Kids can build collections without breaking parents' budgets.
The Devastator Secret
Here's what makes Defender special: they combine.
Six construction vehicle characters from different Defender sets merge together. Form one giant robot called Devastator.
The vehicles:
- Scavenger (Defender Version 01)
- Bonecrusher (Defender Version 02)
- Hook (Defender Version 02)
- Long Haul (Defender Version 03)
- Scrapper (Defender Version 03)
- Mixmaster (Defender Version 03)
How Combining Works
Step 1: Collect the vehicles Get Defender Versions 01, 02, and 03. These contain the six construction vehicles needed.
Step 2: Get combining kit. The accessory kit includes 28 connecting pieces. These let vehicles snap together.
Step 3: Follow instructions kit includes step-by-step guide. Shows how each vehicle attaches. Forms arms, legs, torso, head.
Step 4: Display both ways. Keep them separate as individual vehicles. Or combine into Devastator. Two display options from same collection.
Kids love this because the collection grows over time. First they have individual vehicles. Then boom-surprise combination into giant robot.
Defender Version 03: Heavy Metal War
This set includes three constructicon vehicles (Scrapper, Mixmaster, Long Haul) - a great start toward building the Devastator team. You also get a full lineup of Autobots and Decepticons with no duplicates, plus a guaranteed chase model.

The Combining Play Pattern

Month 2: Get combining kit. Discover vehicles merge. Mind blown.

Parent Benefits

Age Considerations
Ages 8-10: Perfect age. Can build independently. Understand combining concept. Appreciate collection aspect.
Ages 11-13: Still enjoy but want challenge. Combining Devastator provides that complexity. Feels more "mature" than simple toys.
Younger than 8: Might need help. Small pieces could frustrate. Better to wait or supervise closely.
Gift Strategy
Birthday gift: One Defender set ($35.88). Complete in itself. If kid loves it, add more later.
Christmas gift: Two Defender sets. Creates complete experience. Major gift territory.
Allowance collecting: Kid saves allowance. Buys one set per month. Builds collection gradually. Teaches saving.
Real Room Examples
Small bedroom (8x10 feet): One floating shelf. 12 inches wide. Holds one Defender set perfectly. Doesn't crowd small room.
Shared bedroom: Each kid gets one Defender set. Their own shelf. Own collection. Separate but compatible.
Bunk bed room: Top bunk shelf. Defender characters lined up. Kid sees collection before sleep. Morning inspiration.
Desk area: Study desk with small shelf above. Defender set fits without interfering with school supplies.
