They’re back-at last! Cy-Kill! Leader-1! Cop-Tur! Turbo! Crasher! Scooter! The noble Guardian GoBots and the nefarious Renegade GoBots continue the war begun in The Battle for Gobotron across time and space in their epic series that comes to you factory fresh! With Earth as their chosen staging ground, the Renegades deploy Earth’s worst such as the deranged Dr. Braxis [voiced by Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’s Rene Auberjonois], in the quest to conquer Earth and then Gobotron, so it's a good thing the Guardians have Matt, Nick and Ad of UNECDM on their side! This 30-episode, three-disc collection finds the amazing, metamorphing cyborgs taking their fight to Ancient Rome, lost Atlantis and back to Gobotron in a series of adventures that will leave you shouting for “MOAR”!

...which is still more than Hanna Barbera spent
I can kid. I love my Go-Bots, and I even actually paid money to see "Battle of the Rock Lords" in theaters when it was released. Most expensive tranquilizer ever...Bumblevivisector wrote:And even then, how many remember them having any competition besides GoBots?
Huh...off the top of my head, I remember the Convertors, which were mostly mechs from obscure animes repurposed as good and evil bots (I had all of the five bird-based subset, plus Tentacus, the spider from their opposing "insect" enemies...I made him the leader of my Decepticons and recently "upgraded" him for my Neo-G1s with the Fox Kids Transmetal Tarantulas).
The original Revell Robotech line, before the cartoon started, was similar, but it was mostly models (transformable ones, too...complex as Hell to build, but AWESOME) and these sweet little combiner figures called "Robolinx"...sort of proto-Ammonites, mostly in blue.
Those are the only ones off the top of my head, other than the numerous knock-offs.

That's what I'm guessing too.Sabrblade wrote:Since there were 65 episodes, I'm assuming that 1-5 got released before, 6-35 must be in this set, and 36-65 could be in a Volume 2 release, right?
I'm pretty sure Gobots: Battle of the Rock Lords comes after the series, but it's been too long since I saw it for me to recall many details. The movie ends their continuity on something of an epic note, but since it was more concerned with introducing new factions and battlefields, if anything it leaves more loose ends than the show.Sabrblade wrote:And did the show's final episode feel like a series finale, or did it just end like any ordinary episode with little closure?
wait wait wait.... this set wont include the first five episodes?Sabrblade wrote:Since there were 65 episodes, I'm assuming that 1-5 got released before, 6-35 must be in this set, and 36-65 could be in a Volume 2 release, right?
Nope. They released that DVD well over a year ago, I believe. I never bought it because I thought this inevitable larger set might include them for a double-dip, but now I'll need to order it too.shajaki wrote:wait wait wait.... this set wont include the first five episodes?Sabrblade wrote:Since there were 65 episodes, I'm assuming that 1-5 got released before, 6-35 must be in this set, and 36-65 could be in a Volume 2 release, right?
I never had any of those, but I did read both issues of their DC comic: Robotech Defenders. It was about a diverse group of aliens seeking out ancient mecha hidden on different planets to combat a common enemy. It was supposed to be 3 issues, but condensed down to 2 when they had to wrap up early due to Comico putting out their own comics based on some other, unrelated franchise with the same name.Heckfire wrote:chuckdawg1999 wrote:Those $60-$75 Bandai imports of their mecha?

Nope, these were actual Revell paint-glue-and-decals model kits of mecha from Macross, Orguss, and the like, the same ones that also showed up in the original print run of the Battletech tabletop RPG. Bandai had nothing to do with them, except maybe licensing them to Revell in the first place (I can't recall who owned the rights to the mecha designs back in the early/mid 80s, I was about 9 or 10 at the time).

Oh, I'm aware of it being beneath the G1 cartoon's quality, but any enjoyment I'd get out of it would probably guilty pleasure stuff.T-Macksimus wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Been curious about seeing this show.
A part of me is curious to know what it feels like to be shot but I can guarantee you that if either of us satisfies our respective curiosities, it's going to hurt, just in different ways.![]()

I know exactly what you are talking about since I still have a standard VF, and Armored version and a Robot Recovery Unit flatbed. All from Revell. Most certainly not anything close to those Bandai kits and yes, they were hard as hell to assemble but way cool when you finally got them completed. I also had a number of the Convertors figures that you had mentioned from your earlier post and more Robo-Links than I knew what to do with. The came in at least 3 shades of blue, some with the bodies blue and the arms and legs white, some the mirror image of that and some red and white and I had a ton of the add-on's that went with them to combine them into larger mechs and vehicles. They were like Ammonites on steroids.Sabrblade wrote:Been curious about seeing this show.
