Transformers Age of the Primes Unseen Futures Gobots: Sorium Guardians 3-pack

The only reference this has to her original Machine Robo background is that she references that she has had dreams of fighting monsters.

Im not even lying... Aura

Yep sure, disguised as a crane for sure. Totally not just hidden behind a fence.

Kōichi Yamadera is a Japanese voice actor who played three characters in the Machine Robo franchise. Drill Crusher in Battle Hackers, Velt Zaruk in Wolf Sword and Zarik in Leina and Laika. He also dubbed Batman in the Lego Batman movie (I'm playing Lego Batman rn)

The 2010 Collector's Club figure of Dion which came with a Micromaster Cop-Tur characterized this version of him as a genius despite his rather unintelligent demeanor which is similar but ultimately a bit different than his cartoon design where he was dumb and acted dumb.

The reason for Tork being blue in the Gobots show is that the show design was based on the color scheme from his original release in Zenmai Kahen Winch Robo before the toy colors were changed for Gobots.

And also regular Fitor is there too for some reason.

The Modifier which is what gives Gobots their alt modes does different things if gone through again. For a character who's lost their ability to transform like Zeemon it'd let him be able to transform again. Or make them turn into two separate alt modes like the Dread Launchers.

He is called Blue Jet but he isn't blue, is he stupid?

Fuck it, here's every transforming figure of Fitor / Jet Robo / Blue Jet. 1. Machine Robo 600 Series Jet Robo / Gobots Fitor 2. Best 5 Jet Robo 3. Gashapon Jet Robo 4. Snapfit Model Kit Jet Robo

This guy doesn't seem too concerned about Crasher coming after him

Crasher / Porsche Robo had a total of 4 different color schemes for the exact same mold. Her white color scheme which released world wide. Her black color scheme which released in series 2. Her red color scheme released in Best 5. And her white and black color scheme... 1/2

Transformers Age of the Primes Gobots Universe Loco. This one I made using the head of Legacy Kickback and removing the antenna and the body of WFC Astrotrain (although more specifically I used the Galaxy Shuttle figure for this digibash.

Of the main six Gobots (Leader-1, Turbo, Scooter, Cy-Kill, Crasher, and Cop-Tur) the only one that never recieved a second color scheme was Scooter with all the others receiving two or more color schemes whether that be through Gobots, Machine Robo or other toylines.

Warpath (not that one) wasn't included in the Gobots cartoon. A reason for this could be his late release in the toyline however another could've been that since both them and Wrong Way share the exact same vehicle mode, an AH-64 Apache attack helicopter, the animators... 1/2

You know what I'm gonna say

Crasher is joining the game Transformers Earth Wars using her Velocitron toy design. Sadly it does not seem that she has any relation to Gobots based on her bio.

The Guardians apparently have their own song. Its....

Woah, that's crazy, I didn't know they were pals, that's crazy.

The Renegade Rhetoric collage image design of Loco uses the body and head of Sixliner / D-Go, originally from the Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers toyline. Coincidentally the first thing I think of when I hear "D-Go" is Doctor Go / Herr Fiend.

The Revenge of Cronos episode Run Through the Race of Death! introduces a number of toy only characters who had or would never show up again after their brief cameos in this episode. They are: Limousine Robo F1 Robo Dump Robo Double Decker Bus Robo 1/2

Bonus: Shattered Glass Leader-1's death which uses Cy-Kill's color scheme.

Toyhax has also also done a sticker sheet for Gobots in general with both the Renegade and Guardian logos in a number of different sizes. Hell yeah.

New Shinkansen Robo got a Gobots name in Renegade Rhetoric where he became the Renegade Vain Train. He was introduced in the episode Going Loco but had his origin in a later episode which revealed he joined the Renegades after the introduction of Space Hawk's which... 1/2

The Escape to Planet Earth storybook shows Fitor being one of the Renegades (although not named that yet) escaping Gobotron although he never shows up on Earth in any of the drawings of it that we see. Does this matter? I mean not really I guess.

Blackbird Robo was initially conceptualized as a member of the Machine Robo DX / ScaleRobo DX line of bigger transforming Machine Robo before it was eventually decided to make the toy in the regular 600 Series scale.

The only other time the Guardians are referred to as the Security Force is in the Escape the Planet Earth storybook which was a free promotional item given away before the show released to promote the toys. This shared name between pre release materials shows that there... 1/2

Monogram only made 2 pencil sharpeners for Gobots, a Leader-1 one and a Fitor one. The inclusion of Fitor is odd, not just because he's not a huge character but also because Monogram made 4 pencil eraser figurines that looked very similair (maybe even using the same molds)... 1/2

I randomly found this awesome edit of the animation model for Cy-Kill with the series 2 Gobots toy color scheme.

So since some people are curious. The reason why the ER Cliffjumper mold rather than the ER Bumblebee remold which had the accurate vehicle mode is because the Bumblebee remold originated as an exclusive for Walmart and (I believe) molds and remolds that release as a store... 1/2

Toyhax also made a sticker sheet for Machine Robo Build Series Blue Jet / Jet Robo aka Gobots Fitor. This one is a lot less substantive than the one for Bike Robo however includes one detail I think is really cool which it has the Wolf Emblem, the crest of the Stol family.

Toyhax has made a sticker sheet for Machine Robo Build Series Bike Robo aka Gobots Cy-Kill. The sheet included some stuff like a Renegade logo, red and silver wrist stripes; most of the sheet is to give it the design of Big Machine Robo Bike Robo including but... 1/2

Baikanfu had a small cameo in Machine Robo Battle Hackers and was supposedly planned to appear in the show as a somewhat important character, likely later in the series however this never happened. There was also a cancelled toy that likely wouldve released had been in the anime.

Transformers Age of the Primes Unseen Futures Gobots: Challenge Guardians 3-Pack

The many deaths of Cy-Kill 1/2

Water Rifle didnt get one unfortunately

Bug Bite has an official Shattered Glass design only seen in one comic which was Shattered Expectations. It used the exact same design as his Botcon figure's from the previous year but with red tattoos, a mustache, and an eye patch / maybe monocle.

Its very humorous how awful this toy of G1 Gobots Bug Bite is, completely lacks the interesting tattoos which is the only interesting thing the G1 Gobots Bug Bite Design has and has the completely wrong vehicle mode, and having the mercenaries logo instead of the Decepticon one.

Same vibes, thats crazy

According to a Tumblr post from the Transformers Timelines Collage Picture's artist IKY, he wanted to include the Turbo Teen model kit which the Trans Am Gobots model kit was a retool of in one of the collages. It was decided that he was too weird to be included.

What the FUCK is wrong with you

Guys... what if the reason it's called Retro Bug Bite is because it's a remake of the original toy with the windshield head and everything but maybe in white to make it more distinctive from Bumblebee. (Delusional)

I think its pretty safe to say by now that the Machine Robo Build Series has been canceled with no new toys in 3 years. And if im going to be honest, I'm pretty disappointed with it, not only because we only got 4 figures but because we only got figures of characters who... 1/2

Fuck it, here's every transforming and non transforming figure of Spay-C / Shuttle Robo. 1. Machine Robo 600 Series Shuttle Robo 2. Regular Gobots Spay-C 3. Best 5 Shuttle Robo 4. Super Gobots Spay-C

The prototype of Psychoroid (Gobots Psycho) featured the character having two "eyes" on either side of his head and having articulated elbows. The toy only had one eye and no elbows in both the released Machine Robo and Gobots versions.

Peter Cullen voices Buggyman for a single line of dialogue in the episode Earthbound. In a previous episode he was voiced by Kelly Ward. Neither actors returned to play the character in future episodes instead Bob Ridgely played Buggyman after this
