Say what you will, but most of what is Transformers today borrowed heavily from the GoBot series. I liked the idea of Leader-1 and Cy-Kill being allies before becoming nemeses, but that doesn't gel for me with Optimus Prime and Megatron.

hehe nice! THese are all great. I can always count on you to give me a little nostalgia, bro . I remember this guy! If I recall he was a pain in the butt to transform. Or maybe I'm thinking about Cy-Kill.

Awesome pic! I still think back to the Robot Chicken Episode and laugh.

"So...I hear your name is Gyro Robo"
"Correct"
"That is totally not lame."

Agreed on that one. That sketch was funny! XD (and Daniel, the nerd Gyro Robo might be my new favorite robot chicken character)

I find interesting about Gyro Robo (Coptur) is that like his fellow 600 series Machine Robo toys is that they were based off of ideas that children had. It's interesting indeed

Cool stuff. I wish GoBots would get a reboot... the concept was pretty cool, but Hanna-Barbera's execution? Not so much.

Also, I think the toys looked better than the onscreen counterparts, unlike Transformers.

ANd I'm totally loving the fact you're using the Machine Robo names (not the Go-bot names were any more spectacular lol)

Looking up reference, I'm really noticing that the Tonka Gobots figures are not near as well made as Popy's original Machine Robo version.

Hmm now that's interesting.
Quality must have been lost somewhere i suppose.

maybe overuse of molds...or old molds.

PrimusRulz In reply to MattMoylan [2012-11-04 16:56:01 +0000 UTC]

Ah yes, that usually makes the figures much weaker indeed.
