Does it really want to risk a burn though? I usually find that even the bulkiest of Tars are reluctant to switch into Politoed.
All Defensive Tar has over Hippo is the ability to counter Lati@ and other Psychics, which is nice, but plenty of things can do that. Hippo has a much stronger match-up against physical attackers, and even some special attackers if you invest in special bulk (like CM Sub Jirachi and some variants of Thundurus-T). Defensive Tar is pretty much death fodder against other sand teams, while Hippo is able to check many sand abusers really well. I also don't like how Tar's weakness to Dugtrio makes winning the weather war very difficult in some circumstances.
On a different note, CB Tar is an amazing set, but I haven't seen many people appreciate it. Get to using it, people! @_@

Metagross is outclassed as a Steel by Scizor, who has Technician BP as well as Superpower and STAB U-Turn and Bug Bite.

Outclassed? I didn't know that Scizor has access to Meteor Mash and Stealth Rock, resists Hurricane, or has 80 HP / 130 Def / 90 SpDef base defensive stats.
