Forget Bumblebee... He was a VW - Page 2

ACTUALLY gobots came out a year before the transformers and both had a cartoon that came out in 84 (transformers came out on tv a month before the gobots cartoon came out).

and to ad insult to injury there was a line of transformer sized gobots called 'super gobots' and one of them turned into a yellow VW beetle

Sometimes in life, you get a raw deal on a rip-off of one of your favorite toys. Remember when you asked for a Transformers action figure and what you got instead was a Go Bots action figure? That did suck and what was worse was your parents told you that they were basically the same thing when we all knew that the Go Bots were horrible rip-offs of the Transformers.

And to all you people out there who are about to rip on me for making fun of the Go Bots, I have my old pal Ogre to set you all straight.

NERDS!!!

Hate to point out what making a reference to Ogre in 2010 makes you...

Not to worry though, being a nerd pays very well

Notice that Bug Bite is an evil Gobot?

Gobots usually came on right before He-Man.

Go-Bots were clown shoes! Everything about them reeked 2nd tier to Transformers, from their stupid-looking eaten apple-core looking home planet GoboTron(

) to their ridiculous names (Cy-Kill, Scooter, Spay-C, Coptor).

Even though I was real young when Go-Bots and Transformers came out (6 years old) I could tell the Go-Bots was some ass-hats! Speaking of hats this is when I was done with Go-Bots, Tux the robot with a top hat

Yep. That happened a LOT when my dad was sent to the toy store by himself. All he could see is that they "transformed" not reading the packaging at all

Here's a funny review of Go-Bots

LMAO... Scooter was the worst of all.

Still, which vendor is going to jump in and produce the Gobots badging?

Bond · 05-13-2010, 02:45 PM

I had that one!!
Me 'n my buddy Ian were big Gobot fans.
It was a cheap and easy way for our parents to buy boat loads of toys for us!
I had the Renegade command center, while Ian had the Gobot command center.

Very cool!
And.. although Scooter was a whiny geek.. he was my favorite.

They were cheaper than Transformers, and transformed much much easier.

Stoutgutt · 05-13-2010, 02:53 PM

Yeah, but everyone had scooter since he was the cheapest gobot on the shelf = parent magnet. Problem was you could never trade him away.

I think mine eventually died in a multi-car pileup, using WD-40 pyrotechics for special effects.
