You can find a ton of this stuff on youtube nowadays. Nagai had some really sweet concepts.

I liked GoBots, but they were no Transformers. I did like that floor kick the black car used to do.

See I don't even remember their names.

I do remember the good guys base was a giant At-At knock off, that looks like one of those Sony robot dogs.

Go-Bots were cool when I was a kid, but only in their own niche sort of way. That Rock Lord shit tanked them though completely.

Go-Bots were cool when I was a kid, but only in their own niche sort of way. That Rock Lord shit tanked them though completely.

I remember getting 2-3 Rock Lords back in the day....while it was fun to throw them around, roll them on the ground...all the rocks looked the same (just different colors/finishes). It definitely was a step down from the "robot + vehicle" concept. Even M.A.S.K. offered more fun (vehicle + weapon).

Also: Gobots (vehicle + goofball).
