How you backing that up exactly? Or is it just an X-Entertainment knock-off "badass" saying you've leeched off someone else and are just bandying around because you don't come across as ignorant enough by yourself?

They do look cute. And umm, yeah, they do the base thing. They don't seem to really merit further comment, unless they're really big in which case the designers are to be applauded for their courage in making a huge toy that undetailed.

Yeah, parroting things people said a lot in the 90s is a new wave of nostalgia or something.

It's like people still argue about Spectrums vs Commodore 64s.

I don't feel any particular need to justify anything I say to someone who posts about gobots on a TF forum...

and has a brit bot as their signature...

and moves through the forum as a dark cloud of negativity on every topic big or small.

gobots suck.

Oh yeh, you're the dick who thinks everyone who disagrees with your leeched fanboy opinions should post elsewhere.

And bad thing how exactly? You have some tedious car-sticker faux macho "badass" action movie quip in yours...

Whereas you're a flowing source of positivity with your YouTube-style comments you're utterly incapable of backing up...

Certainly alot of anger towards someone you have never met.

I dont remember any particular incident where I didnt back up my arguments, or made arguments actually. I dont post on a transformers forum to start ridiculous spats with people at their keyboards, but I will make an exception for you.

If you are looking for a reasons that gobots suck, I will give you a few. There are many to choose from but off the top of my head...

1)They were the poor man's transformer
2) three years of north american production, one cartoon season and a poorly executed animated film pales in comparison to TF anyway you spin it
3)Losing their namesake when Hasbro took over Tonka, I imagine wasn't a bright point for gobots fans, though I certainly enjoyed it.
4)A sad 1993 reissue attempt in europe, that went nowhere and was cancelled after one year.
5)An overall clumsy marketing campaign that had the toyline running under different branding worldwide resulting in ridiculous attempts to consolidate all the brands. "Robo Machines featuring Challenge of the Gobots " give me a break
6)Overall, gobots were such a pale attempt to compete with TF that hasbro actually felt comfortable paying homage to their defunct competition by releasing characters sporting the gobots namesake.

and to wrap up, they were small, transformations were lame, and I never liked the ones I owned as a child as they were always so pathetic standing next to any transformer.

I actually still have a handful of them, and I still cant believe how much they suck.
