message: Is Gobots a Transformers rip-off? It's often referred to that way... RobertM525 03:48, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, it's the other way around. Transformers came out in 1984, Gobots in 1983.  Transformers ripped off Gobots.76.29.225.28 (talk) 19:02, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Transformers rip-off? 

message: Given this a bit of a going over, including splitting the majority of the Transformers stuff to Gobots (Transformer) to keep the article relatively short... I'll work on a better picture, with a range of figures by the Command Centre or something. Obviously, the whole thing's not quite there yet, and I've left the tags on there as I'm not sure if it's the sort of thing some idiot like me should be messing with =)

message: gobots which never were? i remember a store circular from k.b. toystores hapenned to bo in the mail, say, perhaps between 1985 & 1988 at the latest. it listed something called "hotshot gobots" along with some other types of gobots i cannot recall at the moment. has anyone ever seen this store circular, or any mention whatsoever of "hotshot gobots"? it had photos & text for the other gobots, but only text for the "hotshot gobots". were they ever produced or released? i have searched for "hotshot gobots" on the web in the past & found absolutely nothing & a whole lot of it. also, do you ever wonder what is on the other side of the gobots catalog? is there any data on that? i know transformers catalogs had 2 sides so i thought maybe gobots catalogs were the same way. had it ever occured to any any gobots
fans that the delta megazord from "power rangers in space" had a gobot-looking face? perhaps it was a gobot
that was not used so the power rangers studio used it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.192.20.149 (talk) 00:45, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

message: The links section was (and still is) a bit of a fiasco... Firstly, this is an article on the Gobots toyline - anything specific to the cartoon belongs at the Challenge of the Gobots article. Secondly, the point of the section is not to find any Gobots site at all and slap up a link - I personally don't see the need to link to fan art, however good it is. I've tried to prune these without bias - seeing as there are several sites which contain comprehensive articles covering the toyline many of the links overlap to a certain degree, while some present no additional information (such as the nostalgic links). The section is not intended to be a links directory, which is the direction it was heading in. If someone does want to create a Gobots links directory and place the URL in the external links section, I can see the merit of that. However, the thing was getting very bloated.
Plus shift key, please.

message: Since when was this ever spelled "Gobots"?  It appears as two words in the logo, and was generally hyphenated in promotional texts.  It was never a single compound word that I know of until the Transformers character was introduced. --Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 14:30, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: On the contrary, I've almost never seen it hyphenated or spaced.  It's almost always either "GoBots" or "Gobots".  See, for instance, the TV series logos and IMDb.  Powers T 03:36, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

text: We should decide on one house style, because it's not consistent even inside of the article's original copy.

message: I know that the Gobots have a bad rap for being a knock off of Transformers, even thought they came out before them by a whole year. But that does not give you the right to make them sound inferior by calling them "WelfareBots". Captain8track (talk) 03:06, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

message: A line of toys with a long running Saturday morning cartoon and a full length animated film, and which competed with Transformers at their inception isn't notable? Maybe if we get Megan Fox to lick her lips in XXXTREME 3D, the critics of Wikipedia will finally decide there's something worth writing about.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.221.225.162 (talk) 15:42, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Correct spelling = "Gobots" or "GoBots"? 

message: I am not 100% convinced that a complete list of the figures released in the line is needed on Wikipedia but I've rewritten what was there so it is hopefully a) more accurate b) consistent and c) more readable than that daft merged list. Will work on gathering some sources and rewriting other sections to remove the recency bias at some point soon. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 09:25, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
