The Energon Pub

Just picked up the Megatron Origins set and in the 2nd issue i found a couple of bots that look alot like the gobots Cykill and Crasher. Here's the proof.

They included those pics as early as the series concept preview. Still, if you didn't catch it then, good eye, enjoy it now

Still crossing my fingers for a Crasher Spotlight, since she actually survived the story arc.

Aren't those Rumble and some Dinobot?
Or do you mean their designs are based on Go-Bots?
If so, you got some good eyes.

Gobot characters have been popping up in TF comics since Dreamwave was producing them.IDW just continued doing it.

Why does Megs always pick on poor Cykill

Aw that sucks. I like Go-Bots....

All gobots must be destroyed along with their wretched flying bases that looked like cows!
Most of them sounded like helium sucking druggies with retarded names and everyone thought Wheelie was irritating ? ...Cy-kill, Cop-tor just to name a couple names where they frequently chopped the names up and lets not forget the awe inspiring name of Leader one.

*Transforms to main cannon*

BLASTS Gobotron to bits!

Well if IDW has the rights to, I'ld like to see a cykill being some renegade junkion and get a hand full of empties on cybertron that become his minions, like crasher. Or with there cyborg origins introduce them as legit quinteson creations... infiltrating cybertron

Making some more obscure Gobots as TF red shirts would be pretty cool too.

I think Megatron has killed cy-kill enough. It's starting to lose its charm for me.

I've seen those too! I thought it was a spoof on them, showing the Transformer superiority over Gobots.

i always cyckill was a junkion at first but now its all clear so thats what happend to the gobots they went to cybertron or the transformres took over gobotron and killed the gobots with only a few surviors

The colours in these images look a lot richer than my printed copies.

In the last issue of the Dreamwave G1 series Megatron had a flashback to his early days. They showed him as a gladiator beating other Gladiators in battle. They used Cy-Kill for that too.

Also, among the Decepticons killed by Unicron's agent, Bludgeon in the Armada series was Cy-kill and Cop-tur. You can see their dead, dismembered bodied hanging on in the background.

Speaking of Go-Bots i just found a MOSC Cy-Kill in my plastic bins full of figures and toys! I remember finding him at K-Mart about 15+ yrs ago in the lay a way dept. while working security. Price $1.99!

i hear hear you on that galvatron

i can't stand the damn buggers myself especially when it comes to the fact that back in the day tonka was single handidly responsible for killing of another classic 80's toon called mighty orbots

as i remember it that show rocked

Was Leader 1 always called that? It seems like an odd name before he became leader of the Go-Bots.
