GoBots
 

Any fans here of the GoBots cartoon or toys? I had a few of the toys as a kid and watched the animated show. The show wasn't as good as Transformers, but I still enjoyed it. Warner Archive has plans to release the series through their DVD mod program. Their first set is the remastered five-part mini-series that debuted a year before the regular series started.

I had a few of these as a kid. Never really knew they had a cartoon as well.

They're like the K-Mart Transformers!

I saw few episodes of this as a kid, I can't remember which channel it was but it also had Inspector Gadget and some cartoon with space dinosaurs who spat office supplies.... sounds probably weirder than it actually was, I'd like to see that show again.

edit: HEILIGE SCHEI$$E! I didn't remember the theme was so awesome!

Never heard of them. They look like a cheap version of Transformers.

The GoBots and Transformers toylines came to the US about the same time (the GoBots actually came a few months first). The GoBots were basically like if all the Transformers had were the microbots (Bumblebee, Brawn, Cosmos, etc.). Growing up in the 80s, I knew quite a few kids who had them, since they were fairly affordable toys.

Rock Lords for the win

I do enjoy the movie and had one of the Rock Lord figures as a kid, but at least for the time being, they are just releasing the tv series. Maybe, down the road...

I think I liked Go-Bots more than Transformers as a kid. I had a bunch of Go-Bots books too.

a remastered clip, plus it is on sale through Friday:
