While this isn't even really a contest, it is still somehow a subject of geek debate: Which transforming robot toy was the best between Gobots and Transformers?
The truth is, everyone knows that there is only one true winner here, and any kid who recieved the loser as a present often cried himself to sleep while plotting to kill his family.
No matter how you look at it, Transformers were FAR superior to Gobots. Transformers would twist and bend until they became something amazing that every kid wanted to play with Gobots just stood on end and looked back at you with dopey painted on eyes attached to vehicles that NO ONE wanted to play with. The Transformers had Grimlock who became a mechanical T-Rex, or Megatron who turned into a real working GUN with both lights and sound! But not to be outdone, the Gobots had SCOOTER who transformed into
a f***ing VESPA.
Who needs lasers or missiles or gigantic robot dinosaurs when you can get 187 miles per gallon. And nothing strikes fear into the hearts of your enemy like the little meep meep horn of a killer robot moped bearing down on you at a scorching 17 miles an hour.
