Max Jenius Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 go bots sucked. Transformers was bad enough, but Go-Bots took cheesiness to a whole other level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eriku Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I honestly don't remember any of the GoBots cartoon, but I had a bunch of the toys when I was a kid. The deluxe size toys were kind of cool, but even though they had more diecast than a Transformer they just weren't as interesting. I still have my favorite deluxe GoBot, who's name is about as terrible as they come: Spay-C. Here's a pic of him with a couple other smaller GoBots that I still have. And yes, Spay-C was drafted by the Decepticons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the more interesting designs came out in series 3, sadly this series is very rare, I have to say the series 3 Super gobot that that transformed into a bike, (not cykill, there was one that actually looked like a real bike) is pretty astounding.

Jolly Rogers Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 The remarkable thing about these toys is that they were all created from designs submitted by Japanese school children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolly Rogers Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I bought some of the earliest Machine Robo toys released by Popy when I was little. Each toy would come with a transformation bookleft (more like a long sheet that's folded into a mini-booklet) that also includes a comic strip featuring the toy you just bought, along with a designer credit listing the name and age of the mecha's designer. Many of them were as young as 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stampeed Valkyrie Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Gobots...now that was back in the day The only Gobot I still have that I can find is a fairly large 80's Red T/A that had an AM/FM radio buit into it. I remember getting this as a birthday present when I was a wee lad. I should check to see if the radio still works lol. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renato Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 vehicle modes Wow. I don't know if I had Spay-C, I definitely had one that turned into a white shuttle, but not sure it was him. Anyway, that red guy in the right -- I HAD HIM!! Forgotten all about him, but looking at the picture now... Yeah, there's no mistaking it. I was actually gonna reply to this thread with a "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout? Gobots suck!" But you are right about nostalgia.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of a crappy design, but now that I think about it, I used to play with him all the time. One of my favorites. Possibly MY FAVOURITE!! Wow, goes to show what else I may have forgotten. Might even go get myself one again... Nah, that'll be going too far... Right..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skull Leader Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I still have two of my gobots... one turns into an AV-8B Harrier (his name is "Royal One" I think) The other one is larger and turns into a Toyota Celica Police Car, but I can't remember his name. I had a load of these when I was younger.... they had a version of "hot rod" to I think... it was a little red guy that turned into a car if I remember correctly (I could have his name all wrong though) that was my first and favoirte gobot, and I'd love to have him again.

Noriko Takaya Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 GoBots sucked major a**. However, that did not stop me from buying the two plastic model kits with the GoBots name on them, because they were actually kits from Mospeada. I still have one of them in my basement somewhere...

I had that one, the orange GTO that turned into a tank and the purple 300ZX that also turned into a jet (far cooler looking than the IROC Z-28 looked) I actually saw someone's IROC T-top that they painted to look like that one, it was pretty cool.
