Why would KB Toys call Six Turbo, the protectobots and call it defensor? 2 of the vehicles weren't even part of the protectobots. Six Turbo was a mix of 4 protectobots, and 2 stunticons. Well.. sort of.. but yeah.. anyways.. seems to me, that some places or people are getting dumber and dumber. What is this world coming to....

ya know.. it is sort of a repaint... since there is more grey and lighter blue colors then the original dark blue colors on the motorcycle and arms and legs of the combiner.

Protectobots were released here and recognized and Six Turbo wasn't?

The fact that Universe hasn't exactly stuck to neat name-changes makes this one look moderately sensible... at least we don't have an Ironhide that looks like Trailbreaker, for one.
Let's see...
Road Police = Prowl
Discharge [worst TF name ever?] = Hotspot
Glide = Groove
Sireen = First Aid
Neo Wheel as Red Alert?
Lumber Streetwise with the F1 car? It'd make more sense to repaint Neo-Wheel twice, to be honest. I'm not familiar with Sixwing, but it the 'copter could have substitued on Sixturbo as Blades, that would have worked better.
There's no point really in issuing it in America as Sixturbo, for the reasons Auros listed, and because the original Japanese imports were so cheap to find. They've probably learnt that off Apex Op. Besides which, it means they can stick it in Universe.
