We will most likely never see a GoBots high budget motion picture, despite the best efforts of those trying to build buzz around the idea. The GoBots have always been the low-rent cousins of the Transformers and always will be. With the new Transformers movie on the horizon, I thought it would be a good opportunity to post my 6 favorite GoBot commercials. Enjoy.
Puzzler
Put them together to form a bigger robot? Now where had I seen that idea before?
Get Creepy Free
Never got Creepy, but he is actually a pretty cool looking villain.
Super GoBots
When at first you don’t succeed, make your robots bigger.
Introducing Tux and Zero
You see he is named Tux because he is a classy Rolls-Royce. I am not sure how useful a luxury car is in a robotic battle for world domination, but he sure was a smooooooth ride.
GoBots Command Center
In the 1980s, as your toy line went forward you had to get bigger. The Command Center was a great example of one of those big toys. Not the best toy but it kind of looked like a very stiff legged At-At, which is cool.
The Epic Super GoBots Invade your Home Commercial –
With it’s E.T vibe, this is by far my favorite GoBots’ commercial
Fantastic commercial round-up. Puzzler actually was pretty creative engineering for the time. Despite the horrible marketing, many of the GoBots toys weren’t half bad. I did a post last month about 7 Go-Bots that would kick their Transformers counterparts’ asses. Link: http://www.geeksix.com/2009/07/seven-go-bots-that-kick-their-transformers-counterparts-asses/
