Hasbro Might Be Making A GOBOTS Movie

Hasbro has been adapting a lot of their toylines into films over the past decade such as G.I. Joe, Battleship, Jem And The Holograms and of course Transformers. Now it seems as though they want to make a GoBots film as well. Check it out.

Remember the GoBots? I sure do. I used to get their toys every Christmas in the early 80s from my aunts and uncles who knew I was really into Transformers, but of course they thought there was no difference between them and the GoBots. As a kid, there was clearly a difference, but now that I'm an adult I can see that there really wasn't anything different between the two. Both had sentient robots that could transform into vehicles and such.

For those that don't know, GoBots had a toyline an animated Challenge Of The GoBots series in the 80s. They never caught on in popularity like the Transformers did and they died off. They were originally produced by Tonka, but in 1991 Hasbro purchased the company.

TFW2005 has discovered that Hasbro has recently filed documents to the United States Patent & Trademark Office for a new GoBots trademark under "distribution of motion pictures, ongoing television programs" and "Toys, games and playthings, namely, toy vehicles and accessories for use therewith."

Leader-1 and his closest allies pursue Cy-Kill to earth, where they are forced to befriend certain humans. Among them is astronaut Matt Hunter, whose team has been implicated falsely in the destruction of the space shuttle they piloted in part because of the collusion of NASA consultant Dr. Zebediah Braxis with the renegades. With the help of their troubled newfound human friends, the Guardians must defend both Earth and Gobotron from Renegade tyranny! The Challenge of the Gobots series features an impressive cast that includes a number of voiceover contemporaries like Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime from Transformers) as Tank, B. J. Ward (Scarlett from G. I. Joe) as Smallfoot, Arthur Burghardt (Destro from G. I. Joe) as Turbo, Phil Hartman (Saturday Night Live), and Frank Welker (who has done voiceovers on what seems like half the animation made over the last 30 years) as Scooter and Zeemon. It also stars SAG Lifetime Achievement Award winner Brock Peters (Joseph Sisko from Star Trek:Deep Space Nine, Admiral Cartwright from Star Trek IV and VI) as General Newcastle, and Grammy and Prism Award winner Rene Auberjonois (Odo from Star Trek:Deep Space Nine, Clayton Endicott III from Benson) as Dr. Zebediah Braxis, both of whom would become semi-regulars throughout the series.

This crap and Sinister Six can happen but Hellboy 3 can't. In case y'all are wondering, Hellboy 2 made more money back when you do the ratio of how much was spent and how much it earned then TASM2.

I loved that shit as a kid.

We were too broke for Transformers, so I got Gobots toys instead. Knock-off Gobots, of course.

Well the last Transformers film was pretty bad so Michael Bay needs something to stick his childhood raping Null-Ray in.

I may be the only 80's child who wants this to happen. I always liked the characters on Gobots. It was just the format of the show that was lacking.

I've never understood why Hasbro hasn't just incorporated the Gobots into Trnasformers and said they come from one of Cybertron's sister worlds. There'splenty of precedence of this as there are several other Cybertronian sister worlds already. What's one more? Cykill would make a great foil for Megatron IMO. And Crasher's got a lot of potential too. I could do without Scooter though.

They should make a C.O.P.S. movie. Long Arm was the man!

Not an 80's kid and barely a 90s kid, yet I get the feeling a Mighty Orbots movie would cap off this nostalgic animated to live-action robot/mech fetish.

GoBots...the K-Mart equivalent of Transformers.

I remember getting a whack of them for Christmas as a kid. A couple actual Transformers thrown in there, but mainly GoBots. Funny though, as a kid I didn't really care that much and it was only as an adult that I discovered they were the generic knockoff of TF. The "Po' Boy Transformers".

I guess with a wish list like the one I had annually, Momma couldn't get me everything I asked for...and that's cool. LOL

Watch if this movie gets made and it is a better and more respectful representation of the Gobots then Michael Bay shit is to the Transformers. My poor little Transformers loving heart would probably break and die that the [frick]ing Gobots had a better made movie then the Transformers.
