80's Rock Lords Toy Commercial

[CelesteK]

Nice use of stop motion animation though.

[snakes3425]

Really they transform into rocks, okay 1. that's about as dumb as tranformers action masters (but at least they still transform) 2. Of all the things in the known Multiverse did they have to pick rocks, the Gobots and Transformers turn into cars, tanks, guns, planes, tape players etc, but these guys turn into something that is next to useless

[Cavillier1970]

@snakes3425 even the McDonald's McBots/Changables were cooler and made more sense to me than the rocklords did.

[ginihaz]

no way remember these badboys

[TulsaClint]

Poser Transformers!



[whoisjaymon]

wow. ive been trying to remember the name of these toys for years now. special thanks to robot chickens last episode for making fun of rock lords.

[jswhiss]

look kinda like chunk from toy story 3

[Pikachuiscool]

@jswhiss Chunk was based on these toys.

[jefffox1012]

@Pikachuiscool i didn't know that o_O

[smiles877]

i had a bunch of these things laying around, and up until i saw this if you asked me what they were i would say some bastardized version of a transformer, and now that i have seen this...well my opinion hasn't changed. man the 80's had the best toys. who cares if the slime caused cancer, or if your little brother would choke on that gun, all that mattered was that you "collect them all."

[JeffTheFutureJaros]

Had one of these, they look like transformers.

[tran92dude]

lol looks like bakugan

[JSSTyger]

I lost a rock lord action figure about 20 years ago...possibly longer ago than that. I did not have it for very long before I lost it.

[toxlox]

You transform this thing, and then you throw it.

(Then regret throwing it, later...)

[breakinglevee]

I had some purple one that looked like a bear on roids

[Rlowe928]

I have a Styx and Stones stashed away :) That's the two headed one.

[Craydon]

Such a bad idea, you have a robot that transforms into something less fun.

[CharlieRomero]

These toys were so fun, made for a sandbox, i mean how else can you have fun with a rock lol

[dragonfable17]

Wow the toys looked pretty good,I like the rock that looked abit like bumblebee,hes kinda cute

[Terryfan]

Great ad for Gobots

[hilarioph]

When i saw on retro junk video of rock lords.

The products is from ban dai not tonka

[ChewySatisfaction]

The best rock lord was Crack, but he was too bombed out to fight with the others. He converted into a pipe as well.

[akerockstar]

another thing i saw today (that i've totally forgot about) that i used to have! wow...memories

[RebelTaxi99]

Oh, why not just have them turning into buildings why your at it.

[olisqual]

I had Stix N Stones! The two headed guy! I thought he was kinda cool, the premise is blah but as a kid in the 80's without rich parents, you take what you get!

[returnofplex]

YES!!!!! My robot turns into,....A rock? Oh whatta' fuckin' gyp!

[CelesteK]

All I have to say is what the hell were the toy execs at Tonka smoking when they thought of this?

[ardx1]

The same shit the millionaire Gary Dahl was smoking when he invented the "Pet Rock" in 1975. LOL!

[CelesteK]

L.O.R.L!

[Terryfan]

One of the most creative ideas for Gobots in my opinion

[barbs19788]

ha ha ha i remember this from when i was young i thought they were crap then and i still think they're crap now

[Darkknight7853]

i have the gobots challenge of the rock lords on vsh and it still works perfect

[CelesteK]

I think you mean "VHS" don't you?

[Darkknight7853]

opps

[CelesteK]

That's okay. :)

[Chuloloc]

Awesome.

[SgtStab]

Wait- Gobots had dignity?

[CelesteK]

What? You think a guy whose name is "Pulver-Eyes" in a descriptive pun is dignant? I don't think so.

[CelesteK]

Oh yes. A commercial that represents the one thing which single handedly destroyed any dignity Gobots had left.  Don'tcha just love the Rocklords?
