Something tells me the design team wants to do more GoBots... and those somethings are Road Ranger and Crasher. Oh, what I'd give for Hasbro to dare doing a Cop-Tur from Siege Spinister, a Fitor from Evolution Needlenose, and a Cy-Kill from Evolution Crashbar...

I think the main thing that makes Crasher such a safe pick is the colors, actually. While most other GoBots were virtually unchanged from their Machine Robo counterparts (apart from the cartoon giving them new faces), Crasher was significantly redecoed - Bandai's Porsche Robo was white and blue! That likely gives Hasbro a lot more leeway to make Crashers without Bandai having grounds to sue, since they're so very clearly based on the GoBots character and not the Machine Robo toy. And hey, if Machine Robo is allowed to release a Bike Robo figure with an alternate Cy-Kill face, I'm willing to bet Hasbro can get away with a lot more than they have been doing.

The Studio Series Wreck-Gar is perfect for Cy-Kill, additionally, like Crasher, his face in the cartoon is vastly different from Bike Robo's generic face, so I think we could get a modern Cy-Kill if Hasbro so desired. I would like to see a Leader-1, too, but that one is more difficult because of how similar he is to Eagle Robo.

Exactly what I was thinking. Little bit of retooling and it's perfect. Wreck-Gar already has the option to put the tires on the forearms, retool it to the shoulders, take off the blaster nipples (😂) and give him a new head, heck keep the spike wheels to make him more different for Copyright and really make him look like a bot named Cy-Kill

I actually think Hasbro could get away with it for the same reason that they're able to keep making Jetfire/Skyfire a thing. Cause Hasbro doesn't actually own the rights to the original Macross mold that character is based on. They were able to get away with it by just changing the head design from the toy and slapping an Autobot insignia on the chest. Some of the paint aps are in different spots as well making Skyfire more visually distinct from Jetfire. They also get around homages because it's a brand new mold that just happens to resemble the Macross toy but it's not reusing that same mold. 3rd Parties also use these same legal loop holes to avoid being sued by Hasbro even though we all know they're making Hasbro owned characters. Go-Bots technically has the loop hole built in because the anination models changed the design of the faces from how the toys looked. Hasbro can further make them look different just by using original molds rather trying to make something too similar to the Machine Robo toys. I think Hasbro could easily get away with putting a cartoon accurate Leader-1 head on a Seeker mold and putting a cartoon accurate Cy-Kill head on a Junkion mold and have two figures that homage those characters without setting off any land mines. The Seekers are distinct enough from Leader-1's original toy to pull off the homage while not infringing on Machine Robo's copy right. Same thing with Cy-Kil as a Junkion. It would also help to add very prominent Autobot and Decepticon insignias to them which Go-Bots didn't originally have. Cy-Kil has shown up as a Decepticon in the comics by the way looking exactlt like his animation model. He didn't last long though as he was killed by Megatron almost immediatly.

I have such nostalgia for the Go-Bots. I remember my Grandma first getting me into Transformers a loooong time ago by renting me a Challenge of the Go-Bots VHS as well as the Transformers VHS that had the first appearance of the Dinobots. The only Go-Bot toy that I can remember ever handling as a kid was none other than the 1984 anomaly known as "Psycho" (mind you this was a few years after its release). The very "Lost In Space"/"Forbidden Planet"-esque robot mode and the car it subsequently transformed into were soooo crazy-looking, and to this day, neither the Go-Bots license nor the Transformers franchise has ever produced anything in the world like it. Like I said, and absolute anomaly of a toy. If ever there were a toy I would love to see get a modern take, it would be "Psycho".

Guide Leader-1 on his most daring mission yet. You must stop the evil Gog from destroying your friends on the planet Mobeius. If you fail, not only will your chums meet a death worse than fate itself but the Earth will be invaded by lots of horrible green things with an enormous appetite for scooters. Can you save the world? Can you load the game? It is at this point that I could present to you with an impressive table of baddies and their points. What is the point I ask you, when you will no doubt see them in the game and kill them regardless of point value. Special features include: . really ugly enemies . an incredibly smug hero

Crasher has a different alt mode, Bug Bite is now white... I think this sort of side steps should be fine and we just need to add the names to other storylines. I always felt like RID15 Storm Shot would have made a perfectly fine Leader 1 by just making him grey, for exemple. I also feel like Smallfoot would make a GREAT standard repaint for Strongarm. Just give her orange light bar so she looks more like a utility truck than some sort of responder. I would be REALLY happy to see her again. Smallfoot was my favorite as a kid. I also think Pathfinder would be a perfect standard repaint for Cosmos. She wouldn't look anything like the original, but replace the green with a deep dark blue and the yellow with a cool grey and give her a red visor and you got it. It's a cool name, it gives Cosmos more chances to appear again and it's not the same alt mode at all. I've been hoping for this ever since iGear made their Roswell repaint of their Cosmos for TFCon. It's a brilliant move. They always want to reuse molds as much as possible and I think they could fill those ranks with Go-Bots hommages that would be just evocative enough to work without looking like the originals.

I really want Hasbro to produce repaints to give us all the figures from the E-Hoby G1 Go-Bots set. As you said, we already have Bug Bite and Road Ranger. Why not release Pathfinder and Treds as well? The figures in the E-Hobby set don't even look like any of original figures, so Hasbro doesn't even need to worry about Bandai coming after them. Just release repaints based off of the set they already created for E-Hobby.

From what I can tell Machine Robo/Gobots (currently) has virtually ZERO representation at retail outside Asia. Hasbro COULD make them some sort of offer. Cut a deal with Bandai and retool 86 Wreck-Gar into Cy-kill already. But the reason they won't do is not Hasbro is "scared" of lawsuits. It is the SAME REASON WE CAN"T GET THE RID2001 CARTOON (English version) released on any sort of home media. Hasbro may not own the rights to the dub currently but they could EASILY have made a deal with Disney or whoever does own the rights to it. They are simply too DAMN CHEAP and LAZY to bother making an effort to get the deal done.

You have things like Voltron and MMPR, but that's more like a specialty item, and not something that I would consider mainstream anymore. Where there's a fallowing to it, but it doesn't have the attention given to it then what Transformers tend to get. Personally I think what nailed the gobots when they were still owned by Tonka, was that there was an element of wokeness to it even back then. There were certain episodes that I thought were very well done, but because of the fact that Hannah Barbera did not like violence in children cartoons (which I find ironic since his claim to fame and what he built his empire on was creating Tom and Jerry), that political correctness was injected into the show and I think marred it up a little bit where I think the toy line was more popular prior to the cartoon then it was after the cartoon. I just thought there was an element that was forced and kind of phony, and that was the reason why I like Transformers cartoon more than GoBots when I was a kid just because of the content. Ironically enough, if they took the Japanese cartoon and translated it into English, even with the cultural aspects taken aside (the Japanese cultural values depicted in the cartoon), I got a feeling it would've faired better than the American because it had a vibe that was something between Transformers and aliens. There were differences like crasher and small foot were dudes instead of chicks, but generally I thought it was better written The reason why you haven't seen GoBots pushed is that they're playing favoritism for their lines back in the day then any other toyline that they've acquired through hostile takeovers, and basically doing a monopoly. I'm an old school capitalist, but there's a part of me that would love to see a lot of these big companies getting hit with trust suits and being broken up into smaller companies again. I would like to see a company brought back that was like Toys r Us, and they're being multiple toy producers instead of Hasbro being the only one essentially here in the United States. Even if they recycled the original molds that they used in the '80s, I still got a feeling that the toys would do pretty well today if there was a good marketing and cartoon show that went with it. There are plenty of good classic toy lines that would do pretty well today, but the IP's are being sit on buy these major corporations and people in positions of power where they're being greedy or have no intelligence in terms of being able to sell a good product. Too many idiots in power that shouldn't be in the position that they're in. Especially since Hasbro said that they don't want to be a toy company anymore, somebody should get the rights of these toy lines, and do something with them, but being greedy and wanting to be in the center of attention, I doubt that corporate at Hasbro will give up these IPS just because they want to be a control of everything. That's why I think you haven't seen anything done with gobots.

And basically Hannah bandera is a defunct company at this point. They're owned by Warner Bros. Still have the same title but owned by Warner Brothers. What does technically Discovery now right?

Hasbro doesn't own the molds, Bandai does. The only thing Hasbro owns is the name "Gobots".

I hate how people have got so hung up on making the current toys look exactly like the 1980s cartoon. Yes, you should keep them generally recognizable, but don't let them get completely fossilized.

I wonder if bandai would be more open to it considering Hasbro now owns the right to power rangers and the toy molds

Hasbro own the rights to produce power rangers toys, not the original Bandai molds as bandai still produces Sentai toys for Japan

As a suggestion Silver repaint of starscream with a reminder head as an autobot? Though in my head I would call him alpha leader as I never liked “leader 1” as a name… don’t like numbers in acctual names….
