Hopefully they do the Gobots Puzzler next :P


Funny you mention that, Hasbro recently re-trademarked(or whatever) the Go-bots name for things including toys, animated shows, & I forget what else.  Not sure what that means for sure yet.




Their coming back....at least in Japan....so far....

Holy hell, are those legit, or 3rd party?  Of those, I had Cy-kill, Fightor, the drill guy, & Turbo.  I might've had that stealth bomber guy, not totally sure.

Given that the "Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos" branding is used, I'd say they're official.  Having the stealth bomber (I'm assuming you're talking about the SR-71 guy, Snoop) will likely depend on what country you resided in at the time, as he was never officially released in North America  :)

Anyway, super stoked about these, especially if they make them small like the original 600 series MRs.

Yeah, I had a feeling they were with them saying Machine Robo, but, I didn't hear a thing about them till now.  As for the SR-71, I'm in the US, so, I must not have had him, but he seems really familiar for some reason.

I always hated these sets when I was a kid. Because, at most, my brothers and I would have HALF of the required characters, so we could never make the "Devastator" or the ___________ .... Voltron, Jumbotron, etc.

Yeah, I had a few Constructicons(Scrapper, Mixmaster, Scavenger, & Bonecrusher), a few Protectobots(Blades, Streewise, & Groove), 1 Predacon(Razorclaw), 1 Combaticon(Swindle), 2 Terrorcons(Sinnertwin, & Cutthroat), 1 Pretender Monster(Bristleback), a few Seacons(Snaptrap, Overbite, Tentakil, & Nautilator )BUT, I had all the Technobots!  I remember seeing the Arielbot collector set in Sears all those years ago, & I coveted it greatly!

It's possible you had him anyway.  A bunch of that stuff got bootlegged and released over here in generic packages and tiny boxes. You could usually get them at drug stores and places like Skaggs-Alpha Beta, along with bootlegged transformers.

I remember watching gobots then transformers and thinking gobots was the first season and then the animation got better and became transformers as a kid.

I used to have the full set of green Devestator that I inherited from an older cousin. They were wore out when I got them and then I wore them out even more. Then I later bought the G2 yellow set that I think I still have somewhere. I was a sucker for big robots, I also had Voltron as a kid and later I got the Power Rangers Megazord even though I was probably too old to watch the show I did anyways.

Several years ago, I bought the new version of Starscream at Target for nostalgia sake. I was amazed how much better it was than the original. It looked much more like the cartoon/comic Starscream, and transformed waaaaaay better.
