Free 🍉 I post crazy ass moments in Gobots & Machine Robo history. Feel free to @ me your submissions. PFP made by @DailyGobots
IDW Go-Bots issue 4s main cover is a reference to the first page of Daredevil: The Man Without Fear #5 with Turbo having the same pose as Daredevil.
Last is Crasher who uses the body of Cybertron Override and the head of Cybertron Defense Red Alert, she is based on her series 1 color scheme. In the show she realizes that Cy-Kill is going to lose she abandons him and tries to take over the Renegades before being imprisoned.
Second one is Cop-Tur who uses the body of Cybertron Evac and the head of Shattershot, it is based on his Machine Robo Best 5 Gyro Robo design. In the show Cop-Tur remembers his past, turns against Cy-Kill and the Renegades although he never joins the Guardians but runs instead.
First one was Cy-Kill which uses the body of Cybertron Crumplezone and the head of Cybertron Vector Prime. It is based on his Series 2 recolor. After the events of Sorium Cy-Kill is brought back to life and leads the Renegades until he was permanently killed by Leader-1.

Here's what Crasher might look like if she had her original toy's white color scheme
The Guardian Hitch Hiker was given a design for the Fun Publications Guardian mural with it being a digital recolor of the Action Master Omega Spreem.
The Renegade Power Marcher Quick Step was given a design for the Fun Publications Renegade mural with it being a digital recolor of the Grimlock Hero Mashers, likely in reference to the fact the original Quick Step couldn't transform.
It seems like Nemesis (the unreleased power warrior recolor of Land Commander 5) was quite far along in development before it's cancellation as it was seen in multiple magazines and advertisements including the Tonka 1986 catalog used to promote the final year of Gobots toys.
Machine Robo 1982 was a project made for third party promotional marketing like the TV Land magazine in order to maintain a consistent. 82 had the Machine Robo be piloted by a Romulan named Takeru Akiba in order to protect their former home Earth from the Dogra.
Scooter is an alpha (we knew this)
In the second half of the Gobots show, Night Ranger's animation model shows up very very often and as a non-speaking part. He is also often paired with a non speaking version of Hans-Cuff during these scenes.
Here's some of my favorite fuck ass Gobots coloring book drawings
Randomly hit me the other day how absurd it is that Combat Robo who turns into a photorealistic Smith & Wesson Model 469 pistol without an orange cap is a real toy that released. Oh and it could fire rubber bullets with faces on them. What the fuck were they thinking man.
Gattai Saurer is like, ridiculously expensive
Machine Robo Unitroborn Riceball Police Car is getting a recolor that gives the toy a yellow and red color scheme rather than a black and white one. It also turns the riceball into omelet rice.
Oh... that's gore... that's gore of my comfort character
Steamer received an official design as part of the Fun Publications Guardians murial where he was given the body of Go-Bots Randy and the head of G1 Bumper. As Steamer was a show only character this is the closest he's ever gotten to a toy and it isn't even real.
Gobots sizes are really, REALLY inconsistent
Awaken Studio had also worked on two other Machine Robo products. One before their work on the transforming figures with a chibified Baikanfu in their Es Gokin line, and one after with their Pose+ Baikanfu figure. Humorous coincidence that they made the same thing but in... 1/2
Kind of crazy that the Gobots and Rock Lords both have a device meant to spin someone to death with the Gobots having the Disassembler and the Rock Lords having the Tumbler.
Scooter uses the head and body Cybertron Ransack. In the show Scooter has evolved from being a kid appeal character to now being a big sister figure to the humans as well as taking on a scientist role in the Guardians.
Turbo uses the body of Cybertron Hot Shot and the head of Cybertron Clocker. The design is inspired by the color scheme of the Turbo released with the Staks Transporter multipack. By the time of Gobotron, Turbo has matured to the point of being the co-leader of the Guardians.
Leader-1 uses the body of Cybertron Jetfire and the head of Quickmix. It is inspired by the Series 2 color scheme. In the show Leader-1 and the Guardians are approached by an ancient Gobot after the destruction of The Evil One which started a black who informs them of...

This silver version of Hans-Cuff that transforms the toy from a cop car to a regular civilian vehicle is one of the rarer alt color schemes with it being exclusive to an Australian only multipack and replaced in later releases of said multipack by a regular version of Fitor.
Genuinely howd they fuck it up that bad
What's your favorite obscure Gobots piece of media? Mines gotta be Challenge of the Gobots Battle of the Beans which isn't even a real story but a typo of the real story's name.
I very consistently think about this cover
