A description of tropes appearing in Challenge of the GoBots. Unfortunately, unlike Transformers, the GoBots figures came with no distinction once outside the box, they had no markings to show what side they were on which meant you had to watch the show in order to know which GoBot was on which side.

The show picks up the story in the midst of this great conflict as the GoBots have taken the fight to planet Earth. But quick to thwart the Renegades were the leftover Guardians, led by the gallant Leader-1. A disgruntled Guardian named Cy-Kill rebelled with a group of followers and formed the domination-bent Renegades to usurp power and threaten the freedom of the planet. The story began on the war torn planet of Gobotron. Transformer G1 1984 GoBots Drill Screwhead Tonka CompleteUSED - one arm is a little loseFictional biography There are no screws loose on this evil mechanical genius. Originally designed in Japan by Bandai and released for their Machine Robo Series line as Drill Robo the model was not long after issued as Drill for the European Robo Machine release. The GoBots were divided into two classes, “Friendly” and “Enemy”, this was changed to “Guardians” and “Renegades” with the launch of the animated cartoon series ‘Challenge of the GoBots’. Larger figures were then released at around 5-6 inches in height and named ‘Super GoBots’. These first figures were 2-3 inches in height, they transformed into a mixture of different machines, including WW2 fighter aircraft. Tonka released the first batch of toys in 1983 and were actually a reissue of a series of toys originally produced by Popy of Japan, who later became Bandai. An animated TV show ‘Challenge of the GoBots’ was also released with 66 episodes and then a follow-up movie called GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords. The toy-line was first released in 1983 and ran for four years until its eventual discontinuation in 1987. In the great toy robot wars of the 1980’s there was only one winner, Transformers! While it’s fair to say Transformers dominated the transforming robot toys market, they had stiff competition from the Gobots which pre-dated Transformers by a year. ![]()
