Transformers type cartoon?

BLITZ_Molloy

I remember when I was about 8 all my friends used have cool duvets with Transformers, He Man or Thundercats on them.

I pestered the parents for ages and eventually they got me one. But it was some sort of crappy Transformers clone. I was gutted at the time. I'm just wondering if anyone has a clue what they might have been?

Go-bots

They were actually around in Japan before Transformers, they just didn't have Corporate america behind them

The Rock Lords were pretty phunky, they were rock-shaped Go-bots.

Was that what they were called. I remember some cartoon about these robot kind things that turned into rocks and rolled down hills. I used to tumble all over the place when I was small pretending I was one.

Yeah, it was Go-Bots. I had a feeling they were probably pre-Transformers.

That little blonde curl on the red scooter used to freak the bejesus out of me!

I had a Rock Lord, but I never got the point of them to be honest. Turning into a car or a jet or a dinosaur was cool, but what the hell could a rock do?

Wasn't there a little gold/yellow Go-Bot called Nugget?

Had completely forgotten about them. Have one in the attic somewhere.

Ironically, a lot of the voice actors from The Transformers series, like Peter Cullen and Frank Welker, also did voices on the Go-Bots tv series....

Possiblely a bit off topic but does anyone remember the centurions ? when i was younger i was mad about them and now they seemed to have vanished without a trace :dunno:

Adeptus Titanicus

Yep, I think so. Weren't these the three guys who got zapped into dangerous situations with all sorts of (excuse the expression ) strap on weaponry? Special gear for under water missions, or even stuff that basically meant the guy was walking around with a tank strapped to his back. They had a cartoon and action figures. "Power Extreme!" was their... I dunno... "power phrase" or something. A bit like Battle of the Planets characters going "Transmute!"...

hey i remember go-bots, I don't remember rock ones though, just cars & stuff.

Did anyone ever see the Transformer movie with Leonard Nemoy, Orson Wells, et cetera? Apparently after all the great films he directed, that was the last film Orson Wells starred in. To be honest I don't really remember much about now, this thread just sparked the memory.

As in Transformers the movie ? I have that on DVD.

Seamie

That was a great movie alright. Wasn't Eric Idle in it too?

Makaveli

Yeah he was the leader on that junk planet.

The Go-Bot toys always felt more clunky and sturdy somehow... it might have been the fact that parts of them were made out of metal.. wow.. I'd forgotten all about metal...

I had the leader of the bad guys Cy-Kill.. he was a motor bike

there were some pretty cool go-bot cartoon episodes.. I remember one where the evil Renegades brought these evil robot ant people in from another dimension to help them... they were from something stupid like the 37th dimension...
