Leader 1 rocks. Did you guys know that Habro purches the rights of this show and putt all the gobots in the armada series and called them minicons. XD Leader 1 was Megatrons minicon. how silly is that.
I like both Gobots and Transformers. Folks can try to tear down the gbots, but if cars in our time were to actually transform, they're look more like Gobots than Transformers.
I used to watch the Gobots too, but then, one day, I saw Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos anime. I'm sorry, but I found Machine Robo way better than Gobots.
everyone arguing about which came first (transformers and go bots) listen transformers came out in japan in about 1977 exept they were just robots called diaclone and there was no real plot to it they were just toys then some people from hasbro were in japan and saw them in a toy store and thought wouldnt this be a cool idea so then they made a deal with takara and then thats when the cartoon and toys came out in america. so really transformers came first in diaclone form.
yeah and go fuck yourself is so very pleasant. get the fuck outta here.let tis be a lesson. when you call down thunder you better be ready for the rumble
And you're complaining that you don't know why people are thumbing your comments down? It's becuase you cuss people out for no reason about something that you don't like.
If you hate Gobots that much then why are you here?
Geeze if I had a quarter to give you I'd say you need to buy yourself a personality but that would be such an incredible waste of a 0.25 piece.
This was ok-ish, a poor man's Transformers. Still got my original Leader-1, Turbo, Cy-Kil and the big blue robot-dino thing, but my Gen 1 Optimus Prime (24yrs old!) still wipes the floor with all of them!
The Toys of both franchises were created in late 1983, early '84. As for the cartoons, both the gobots and transformers first aired in 1984. I don't know the exact dates cause i just dont care that much the point is wich ever did come first only did so by a couple months so go find something else to nit pik about. Besides Voltron was cooler:P
I don't think people even know just how stupid they sound when they start shouting "The Transformers were first" when the truth is the Gobots were first.
@CelesteK Yes, thank God someone realized how gay the Gobots were, (they even looked like cheap toys in the cartoon) and corrected this problem with the Transformers. A richer storyline, far better robots with more kickassery violence and a story we could all get behind. All the gobots ever did was fly around and look stupid. I mean, what's up with that Scooter guy. Obviously homosexual, you can tell by the way he's touching that guy in the intro. Gobots had to go the way of the dodo, obviously.
Actually, the Gobots came out 3 months BEFORE the Transformers. And if you were a kid in 1984, any toy that changed into something else rocked! The Gobots have always been dissed but if the Transformers never made it to the US, everyone would lovethe Gobots!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I don't know or care when the gobots came out.I was 6 in '84 I still thought go bots were boring. I knew quaulity then and they would have never went down in my history book as a cool toy or cartoon even if I never heard of megatron and optimus prime
I used to watch this but I thought this was like... the transformers. Like a different series, in the same universe, or the same series but just y'know, the same take but a different application
I didn't really care for the Gobots vs. Transformers nonsense. I just knew that I liked this show a lot, and still enjoy watching it now. I've got all the episodes except for those ones that are impossible to find!!!
If you didnt get transformers in your region of the world then you had transformers...of course transformers was superior but hey we were kids and really didnt give a stuff either way!
Why does everyone keep bashing this show? Have you even watched an episode before you just said "Transformer knockoff"? Don't get me wrong, Transformers is the shit, but I think these guys deserve some credit too.
I rather watch this than any cartoon made since the 1990s.
I totally agree!!! I like this because U can actually SEE the transformations. They transform. The transformers, well, the pieces just disapear man. I could pick my Lego pieces and just make a Gobot, U can't do that with a transformer. Like U said man, transformers is cool, but U defenitely gotta give it to The Gobots.
Yeah, I loved this stuff before transformers even came out here. I remember my dad going to the local video rental and getting this on VHS like every other week , 'cause I wanted to see it again and again :D
I think I liked Gobots more than Transformers, and I don't remember quite a lot of kids liking it too and having the toys. It needs a dvd release. Hanna-Barbera has been releasing a lot of their old toons so maybe we'll get lucky
Gobots were created before transformers. SO technically Transformers was a ripoff of gobots. But then again the company that made gobots was bought out by the company that made transformers so can a company really ripoff its own product?
They all had the same powers (flight, laser beams from their hands). At least the Transformers got rid of the same side flight ability after the second episode.
what the hell was that silver walker thing that the go-bots had? I had that as a kid and now it is killing me that I don't remember what it was called!
Even if the Gobots were a notch lower than the Transformers, you gotta give it to them for naming a bad guy, Cykill.
