An article regarding Gobots and Transformers

[dirge]

I concur re the choices of alt modes in the Gobot line. The plethora of generic sports cars and generic jets gets tired - especially in recent series where we've seen three or four of each.

The submarine has been rather underdone. We've yet to see a Transformers bus or forklift.

I really enjoyed the Real Gears purely because they're something we've not seen for a while.

Wow Kyle is so right. Found these Machine Robo clips on youtube, they look everybit as cool as the TF toons of the time plus the token female chracter is hotter than Carly.

Keep your eye out for Cy-kill and Leader One who look way cooler in thier Japanese Incarnations.

Aside from the A10 I also miss the more diverse Helicopters, the Limo, the wierd monster guys and I seem to recall the Machine Robot equivelant of a Duocon was superior to the Flywheels and Battletrap.

Even though it's a different storyline to Revenge of Chronos, I always thought the Machine Robo comics were better than the GoBots TV show...

Cy-Kill isn't the leader. He's created by a being called Stron-Domez. Leader-1 is part of a group of "Guardian Police" who are led by the giant Ex-El.

Almost bought the Leina Stol action figure while I was in HK last April:





Ended up getting the SOC version of the show's main robot Baikanfu when I had another trip in December. The SOC set already contains a small version of Leina (Mircoman size)~
