I'd love to have a house like the one Rob has!! I missed this cartoon so much! Thank God for YT 'cause these shows would be nothing more than fragmented memories.
what happened to the other episodes? saturdays could not come fast enough for me...i loved this cartoon so much, i hurt my heart when it didn't come back on. thank you for posting this...hopefully you'll be able to find other episodes and post them.
all the cartoons from the 80s were and are still awsome..people of this age just dont get it..as soon as the 90s hit..it all went down hill with the reality shows and all that nonsense:(...god..i missed the 80s:(
Its great to see this again after such a long time. Thank you brunner 154 for keeping video in decent enough condition. Hopefully more will surface over time. This 1/2 hr was what made Saturday morning special, I watched religiously.
I can't believe how amazing the animation is? Normally cartoons like this have crappy animation but this has amazing animation for a half hour cartoon. Where did they get the money for it?
I thought about how silly it was that the robots just accept that humans give them orders in the beginning, and was absolutely shocked when the show actually addressed the issue. It got big props from me from going there, this show is old but it actually had character development....shock!
Thanks to every one who put this here!!! I've talked about this show for 25 Years to people who had no idea what I was talking about! This show was the coolest!!!!
This series was truly great, ahead of its time or any other time. I was crushed when it did not return for another season. I hope the show is released on DVD someday. The animation was incredible and the music was very catchy.
As far as I know, there was some copyright issues w/ Tonka (or Hasbro, can't remember), which ever made the Gobots. So the show was canceled after one season.
They stopped showing it because no one was watching it. At least, very few of my friends were. Muppet Babies was showing at the same time on a different channel and it was much more popular.
nice stuff...used to watch this every saturday afternoon on ABC...nice memories to remember...hope you could upload more...thanks. i think umbra's one of the ghettoeist villains in cartoonland history, second only to thundercats mum-ra. you guys think of any other else?
Want to talk Ghetto! What about Jaga's Arch enemy and fmr friend. The one tooth Saber tooth guy who had spiked Mace. I think his name was Groon the Destroyer he looked acted Gangsta.
I guess you can't sleep at night unless you have something to correct in an overly specific and annoying manner. long story short, something wonderful was taken away. lawsuit or not, something wonderful was taken away. whatever you decide to micromanage to death, something wonderful was taken away. long live youtube.
Wow. I was expecting that to suck. The animation quality was excellent, the music and voices were great, the characters and the story were great, and I even loved the narration (it fit the cartoon perfectly).
Not only did Hanna-Barbera rip-off Transformers, they had to get this cancelled. I'd be mad except for the fact that they created Jonny Quest, Yogi Bear, The Jetsons, etc...
Actually it was Tonka who did the lawsuit. Hanna-barbera created the the Gobots cartoon before Transformers. Challenge of the Gobots air on September 8, 1984. Transformers September 17. 1984
Interesting. A little sappy and the music's dated, but it's pretty good overall. If you have it, please post the series finale when you get around to it. I remember that ep rocked. Peace.
One of the 80's saturday morning shows ever! Too bad not a lot of people know about thanks to that damn lawsuit filed by the creators of that lame Transformer ripoff "Challenge Of The Gobots"
