TF Procreation

The originals... ok, not exactly, but the original named "The TransFormers" anyway. Take THAT, Diaclone!

I actually thought the Gobots were knock off Transformers (didn't know they were made first) but I always thought the designs and, by extension the toys were far inferior. I just didn't like the aesthetic of taking parts of the vehicle mode and making them into heads. Like I had one that was a VW Beetle and the windshield and roof for the head and they were just terrible terrible toys. I'll take my more human looking TFs any day of the week.

So I guess the Gobots are more like Cybermen then?

The "car-headed" Gobots (Scale Robo, to give them their correct name) were vastly in the minority, though. There were like six of them, and 50-odd Gobots with more humanoid features.

Gobots are cyborgs, to put it blunty. Not that marketing seemed to know. "Mighty robots, mighty vehicles".


But hey, "Robots in disguise"...
COME TO TFVIEWS oh you already did
