20 Gobots That Remind Us Why the Gobots Sucked So Incredibly Hard

Do you collect other toys besides Transformers? Maybe you've got a Masters of the Universe collection you'd like to show off, or maybe you like Thundercats, Voltron, G.I.Joe, Power Rangers, Star Wars, Wrestling, or any of the various comic book toy lines. Please keep the discussions here to non-Transformers toy lines.

Motto: "The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance."
Wouldn't you know it, at C.O.N.S. a friend found 3 of the 6 Puzzler pieces: Crossword, Pocket and Rube. Neither of us bought them, and I would regret it later despite my "only complete combiners" policy. :BANG_HEAD: My friend did snap up a good condition Super Gobot Warpath and he's impressive. I just expected Super Gobots to be a bit... bigger.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

- Jelze Bunnycat =:3

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 (plus repro Victorion hands and feet?)

I snagged a minty fresh Stacks from BBTS (warehouse find apparently) and he's just as awesome as I remember him being when I was a kid, but with the added bonus of now having his trailer (I had the version that came with no trailer when I was a kid). I just wish that trailer were big enough to accommodate the FP Stunticons. They're just a wee bit too wide to fit, but they pretty much scale with him. It would have been neat to have those sports cars on a car carrier like that.

WOW.. And I still have my Breez and Jeeper Creeper figure too..

I lost it reading #8 Guide Star and #14 Water Pistols entry from him...
Not a sheeple.
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
No, I am not friendly online or in real life.
I look forward to attending a Botcon only to settle matters with idiots in person.

I got him, too. It's rather nice. I like the transformation, the trailer, the stickers. ;) I'd love a Classics Stacks, but since that's probably never happening, this guy's cool too.

May I ask a side question, "Is there any GoBots that you would like to see somehow incorporated in a Transformers' continuity?" Is so how? (Hypothetical ideas: the "ancestor" TFs in G1, lost colony somewhere the galaxy, a MECH-style reverse engineering program, etc)"

They did that in the comics and/or Botcon as I recall, something about an alternate universe.

I'd LOVE to see some Gobot love in the TF lines though. Something like Generations Gobots would be awesome and I'd buy every single one of them.

Same, here. I've been saying it for years.

Yeah, I've actually been contemplating doing some repaints of my own. I've got Classics Crasher already (the Mirage repaint) but I'd kill for a Cy-Kill :P. I've been considering doing a repaint of 2007 Arcee/Elita One into him since that mold has the bike wheels on the shoulders, but I'd like something that's a closer match.

Hehe, yeah, I had that model kit as a kid. It was epic. I've since acquired some of the little Mospeada figures and of course you can still get this.

Okay... that looks like a recolor of the Mospeada bike into Cy-Kill. Am I right or wrong?
