LOL! I love how this guy really gets into the feeling of this. You can tell he misses being a kid. I remember when the GoBots first came out. I always thought they were cool! I liked the cartoon too!👍

This was one of my favorite toys growing up, still have a few pieces of it.

Growing up I didn’t have a lot of Transformers, but I did have quite a few Go-Bots. Probably because they were so inexpensive. I was lucky enough to have the Command Center. I loved it. Great review.

Thank you for showing the GoBots some love. I have more fond memories of them than I do Transformers. Still have my command center! After watching this I think I may have to replace the missing parts to restore mine. I absolutely loved your enthusiasm, keep up the great work!

Fun fact, the original GoBots didn't have bios on the packages, but the toy catalog that Tonka used to advertise them at Toy Fair did include bios for the characters. Screw Head was an inventor, Spay-C was an explorer, etc. You can find the full bios online. In the end of the series they started putting toys on the boxes.

Those faction stickers pop up on eBay from time to time. I actually saw them recently. Been on a Gobots kick the past month and have been buying a lot. I received the command center on Christmas of 84. Been thinking about getting one again.

I miss the real gobots, I know the episodes are out there to view, but truly wish that they could get an up to date series. They had some really great characters and so many parts of the story they could explore still left around.

Good review, this was a cool toy back in the day. I still have mine somewhere, but last time I saw it he was decapitated. It'd be cool to see more Go-Bots reviews.

You know I've wondered, since Hasbro now own the rights to Gobots, and the Command Centre was an actual Tonka toy, designed and made by them. Would Hasbro ever consider doing a revamp of this play set for one of their Transformer line. I mean the same could be said for other original Tonka toys like the Renegade Thruster, Zod or Scales.

Yeah ! I owned the Command Center at the time (and still own it at my parents' house). It is really a cool piece of stuff.

This is the best GoBots review of their station i ever saw. Haf this station when i was 5 years old, i played for hours with it. Ur review gaved me goosebumps and wet eyes in a positive way, i felt like i was 5 y.o again as iwatched it!!!Respect, ur the best

Awesome video brother!! I'm a grown man with a family and I have a game room with toys as well. I have my command center displayed with all my go bots. It's a pretty fun hobby. Great memories as a kid. Hell Yes!!

I remember getting this for Christmas when I was 4.

In the U.K. The toy line was originally called Robo Machine and actually had a comic series to help promote the toy line, similar to how Hasbro commissioned Marvel to produce a comic series for Transformers. And like Transformers it was actually a bit more mature and violent than the TV series. Eventually the Show arrived in the U.K., and the comic series was sadly axed before there was a conclusion to its current story. The Command Centre which featured in the comic resembled the toy more and even had its third robot like mode.

That was my favorite Xmas present ever when I was 8 yrs old!!!!

I still have this toy. The 80s had great stuff.

Outside of leader1 and Cykill I still have every gobot you featured in this review 😁 good review

i had this. always wanted the renegade thruster playset too.

Both the Command Center & the Thruster were good carrying cases to store Gobots inside preventing you from losing them.

Good review thank you brings me back to my childhood my friend I'm 47 years old old school and I'll be a Godzilla figure collector and Jurassic world figures master of the universe figures well alot of things been collecting for 31/2 years but it's been real fun I like watching unboxing videos makes me relax and I enjoy them I almost forgot these guys now I wanna get at least one of them

Oh boy! Ok, I'm from Germany and I remember the day I found and bought the Command Center in a local toystore ca. 1985 or something. I ask my mom to give me 20,00 DM and that was the exact price for it - for sure!

Great video! Just letting you know that one of your decals is upside down though. When in shuttle mode, It's the one on the right side between the 5 and 1 stickers.

Keep these vintage toy reviews coming, man! This is great!

Another great review mate, have subscribed to your channel. Remember having this as a kid. The lights worked but not the sound, but not surprised as the guy who owned it before me left it outside all the time rain or shine. Really wanted the AT-AT Walker but the Hasbro one was hard to find in the UK at that time (1998). The only shop near by that sold it was a shop called Kool Collectable in York for £150. No way could afford that at 11 and my parents weren't willing to pay that sort of money for a toy. Use to know a guy who had this playset and asked him if he wanted to swap it for a game I didn't like. He said yes. Knew it wasn't an official AT-AT but though better then nothing. When I managed to get a Kenner one by part exchanging a vintage 12 inch Boba Fett (which cost a £1 at a table top sale). I gave this to my cousin, as he wanted to use it as an ATAT. When the guy I traded with found out he was well annoyed. He asked why, told him it wasn't from SW or a ATAT he been the person he was, convinced he was always right and 99.9% was always wrong and very nasty and aggressive with it, kept telling me it was. He was a complete idiot and he wondered why no one liked him in the end and I can't believe we were mates once I must have been mad. Also he use to take a mick out of mw for been a Star Wars fan, but recently I was working at a Sci Fi convention and he was there and a crap attempt at dressing was wearing a black dressing gown over normal clothes with goth boots carrying a lightsaber was so tempted to comment but pretended I didn't recognise him, though I can't be bothered.

Gobots are better than many people give them credit for! I loved this review.

awsome figure thank you for sharing!!

I had this , and everyone rode around in that fucker GI Joe Star Wars you could have used it just like a walker it was pretty cool, I love seeing this Old shit but sometimes it's depressing you'll never get that innocence back when you're a kid having fun

I always thought of these guys as the future of Humanity... One day we figured out how to mate with our smart phones, then we went too far and war raged across the planet... Until Cybertronian's came to Earth, laughed their transistors off at the posers, and then conquered the planet. Honestly Transformers did the character development better and ironically I remember that Hasbro bought them out and used some of their designs for Transformers. So yeah, hail the conquering hero! haha

I used to have this thing as a kid didn't have that many gobots so I mainly played with it with my transformers since allot of them were the right size for all the little platforms in base mode

One wonders if Tonka thought the use of "enhanced interrogation techniques" (i.e., torture) and reprogramming (i.e., brainwashing) were acceptable behavior from the good guys. Or does anyone else suspect the Command Center was originally supposed to be the bad guys' vehicle, with Cy-Kill a "freedom fighter" opposing the Guardians' tyranny, before Tonka changed its mind and switched the factions and their members' moral alignment for some reason?

Does the copyright notice in the toy say Bandai or Tonka?

Great review. I actually like the Gobots better because they are the same scale. The original transformers figures are all those different sizes from each other and it's aggravating. Megatron is twice the size of Optimus Prime. Hard to take it serious

Memory unlocked!

I loved mine, Great vid cheers

Ow, my nostalgia is hurting.

Do more Gobot reviews... they are cool.

i just skimmed through an old photo album a month or 2 ago & came across a Christmas photo of me in 84 or 85. This was in the corner of the picture & i THINK it said $27.98? It was blurry as hell, i could tell it was a KB Toys pricetag in the corner, but it looked like $27.98. Right beside it was Battle Bones from He-Man & it said $9.98 (that 1 was a lot clearer.)

The legs on mine are having trouble popping out. :( I thought there might be some button or release to make them pop out easier, which led me here, but it looks like it should be very simple. Any ideas? I don't want to break mine...

Loved this guy as a kid. I think a couple of my old Go-bots still have their stickers on them. At have to chase one of these down.

In the UK the later ones didn’t have the electronics! I remember getting one and ended up taking it back because it was missing. Even the box had stickers over the info about batteries.

I think the Dematerializer was just the Gobots equivalent of a teleporter, but the Guardians having an "enemy reprogramming center" sounds shady af!

I had both this and Thruster.

i had this toy. i got it for christmas. i love it.

I had this as a kid. Oddly, didn’t have any Go-Bots. Used it with other toys.

Excellent

man I remember my dad gave me this I still have it on my shelf. good review ;)

GOBOTS WERE AWESOME!!!

in the story, the command centers were mass produced. In the cartoons, we'd see fleets of command centers.

Dude..... I never knew that that the rear door was a decocoder, shame we can't get the sticker anymore.

Reminds me how much I wish we had Ark & Nemesis play sets.

No wonder Cy-Kill betrayed Leader 1 to start the Renegades, he found out that the Guardians have machines that can erase your existence and remove your free will.

They needed a Hans Solo character in the cartoon series.

I had the Command center, Leader One, Cy-Kill, Turbo, Cop-Tur and Scooter. But two things always stuck with me in the Command Center: 1. Why is there a cafeteria? Robots don't eat! 2. The Gobots have the death penalty? Cool. :)

I had this in the 80's. I was mad it couldn't turn into the robot form.

This is clearly an AT-AT :-) Thx for the video.

Does that vertical transporter module have a face?

It's funny how I was looking for go bots videos earlier

It was a $20.00 toy. Close to $45.00 by current prices. Still really cheap though. The command center would probably sell for $80.00 if released today.

Nice review dude! :)

This huge toy set is cool.

I had Thruster 1 for Gobots.

Dr. Bee send me here

Thruster next please if you have it!

24.95 @ your local Toys'R Us (RIP TRU). Only reason I remember is because I could get this or 3 parts of Devastator. Devastator won...

Props to Gobots to getting this guy out years before Transformers started playing with their Metrotitans or even Omega Supreme

Im looking for this thing

1984 Montgomery Wards Christmas catalog lists the command center at $ 20.99

The Go-Bots aren't robots. They are cyborgs with organic brain.

If you attached the Command Center to Metroplex and Omega Supreme, then you could have a pretty massive "transformers" city..

base mode's head looks like it came from Easter Island

I had that thing! It was awesome! One of my biggest toys! I think it was over $30. It was a Santa present...$32-$35.

I remember I could get my Dad to buy a shit tone of these because they were cheap. I had to wait for Christmas to get my first Transformer.

I had this!

Would love to get a cykill and leader one mybe turbo and the female car from the bad guys

What's funny about gobots is that they made cameos in RD comics as deaf corpses.

I’m a 80’s kid so I was wondering , do you have any “Starriors “ figures . Love to see your reviews on those. And again, awesome channel!

“And I love this toy!” Is this man’s catchphrase. It’s literally in every video! On Opposite Day (JAN 25) you should say “And I loath this toy!” And speak opposite throughout the review.

Nice Video Bert the Stormtrooper!!! Great way to mention the Empire Strikes back, without actually mentioning it's name. :D

Metroplex has a robot mode. But good comparison. : )

Transformers technically came out before, they had diaclone before machine robo

check the sears wishbooks

I kinda wish they still re-release repackage the original 80's gobots but under the transformers brand like mini bots

I thought it was weird for robots to eat organic substances or Cyborgs are destroyed like robots or recycled in some episodes?

This was one of my favorite toys growing up.

It looks like an AT-AT Walker from Star Wars

The outside has charm and with some work it would be a cool Go-Bots Ark. Sadly the interior reflects typical Go-Bots quality back in the day... A cafeteria? The creative team should have stuck to writing stereo instructions for kitchen appliances! Its called a 'command center' and yet we have a cafeteria and a room for capital punishment but nothing resembling a bridge or OPS center to do anything. *SIGH*

And they kind of feel like Pokemon. You gotta get them all.

The cafeteria food is energon

One the spaceship mode looks like the substitute for the triceratops zord from power rangers, the legged spaceship robot mode looks weird, and the base mode makes me question tonka's engineering, omega supreme superior

1984?

The gobts ship 25.00 dollars

I call it the FAT-AT

I would say the command center ran about $85.00 and the smaller go-bots ran about $5-$6 and the larger bots ran about $20-$30

look its the original at-at

Actually from what I've read or heard from other reviews, while the Gobots did hit the toy shelf before Transformers. The TV series however came out a month after the Transformers series did.

I get alittle of everything I have G.I.joe transformers spawn dinosaurs my main guy is Godzilla

Completely didn't do robot mode.

I meant TF and they had their own universe in the transformers multiverse called Gargent. Look it up on TFWiki.

Plot twist: The guardians are psychopaths

Hey leader go to cafeteria
