message: I remember a children's book that described the origin of the GoBots.  They were transhumanists, an entire species that, over time, replaced their failing bodies with machinery until they were totally inorganic.  Does anyone else remember this?  I remember the concept vividly. --205.201.141.146 21:18, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I remember this as well.  I never saw the first episode of the show, but I believe the show also used this concept.  I remember one episode that also referenced this; when the Earthlings ask the Last Engineer why he had cyborg parts, he said, "When parts wore out, I replaced them."  The movie Battle of the Rock Lords also has lines akin to "So you [Rock Lords] also have organic origins." Evan1975 03:38, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In terms of the cartoon, it seems to have been a lot more sudden... though that was the premise of the Robo Machines strip in Eagle. Mind, so much of the cartoon was written badly, it's difficult to nail down any consistancy Tom Prankerd 16:54, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I've patched up a few bits of this that seemed a little inaccurate, compared to what was shown on screen...
- The "Gobot" Renegade faction seemed to predate Cy-Kill (ref "Et Tu, Cy-Kill?") - Zero led a faction bearing the name when Cy-Kill was a Guardian... not sure whether this is contradicted elsewhere, though.
- The origins section clashes with the origin as shown in "The GoBotron Saga" TV mini in several areas... The Master Renegade repaired Turbo when he was pretending to be the Last Engineer; the MR ended up a prisoner of the Renegades after the botched assault on Earth; they can't have been the last two surviving "GoBotron" natives as people had to be around to be converted into Gobots
Granted, a lot of the origin stuff we're given is a little contradictory, a little ambiguous and a bit incomplete, but sticking with what was shown in "Saga" seems a fair bet :-) Of course, I've only seen about 55 of the 60-odd episodes, so if anyone has more information, I'd be happy to hear it.
I've also done a gentle trim to the summary... in particular, the inclusion of three rather random, if memorable Renegades felt a bit out of kilter... maybe a List of Challenge of the GoBots characters page is in order?

message: Does anyone know if the title for Episode 62 is really supposed to be "The Secret of Hailey's Comet" or should it be "Halley's Comet" (the real name of the real comet)? I didn't change it immediately as it could have been a deliberate change on the part of the writers. Khajidha (talk) 00:02, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Here is a clip of the opening of that episode, and it's spelled "Halley's Comet" in the title. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tEIIVgCCHM Mathewignash (talk) 22:44, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
