I LOVE the "cabin headed" Super GoBots of the early 1980's! Do you?

Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff?

Although I never liked GoBots*, I always thought the "cabin heads" were cool because they made the robots look more alien.

*Now, as 36-year-old collector, I find GoBots in general a lot more appealing than I did as a kid, but I'm more partial to the small ones.

I completely agree with you; the super gobots are a great line. I've always had a soft spot for the gobots in general. Because they were small and generally less expensive, I probably had more of them than actual transformers as a kid. I would love to see some more modern day homages from Hasbro.

I'm not fond of the cabin head look at all. The vehicle modes look great, but if they turn into robots they should be full-on robots.

I was never a huge fan of the Gobots overall, although I did get the larger Cy-Kill and Leader-1. I wouldn't mind a Classics version of those two at deluxe size. I tried making my own Leader-1 with the coronation head, but botched it badly with too strong paint remover. Maybe one day I'll try again (although I need a new Dirge for the black parts ...)
Wanted:
City Commander's head (KO or original)

I actually am a big fan of some of the Super Gobots, notably leader-1 who displays pretty awesomely next to G1 seekers. However, the Cabinheads just don't do it for me.

Weapon: Sniper Rifle
I had the Orange semi-truck. I loved that thing to death. Unfortunately he broke into a million pieces over the years and is no longer with us. I might have to hit up ebay and see if I can get one.

Do you have the trailer that came with that truck? It isn't pictured.
Weird request here. If anyone has an extra Classics Skywarp or Dirge missile please PM me. I need one.

I had the first two on the left, and I liked them. I'd kill to see some Gobots in the next Classics line.
Not caring about scale since 1984. Just like Hasbro.

My reviews of Transformers G1, one episode at a time. Stop by for a spell!
