Transformers Age of the Primes Gobots Universe Toy Colors Crasher. The digibash uses the body of Kingdom Mirage and the head of Kingdom Slammer. Some changes were made, specifically adding blue highlights to the legs so itd have the blue detailing on the side of the alt mode.

Considering what he was the Puzzler combiner actually had pretty good articulation from the waist up with spinning arms, an elbow swivel and hinge, and a waist swivel. Much better than any G1 combiner from the time period.

Transformers Age of the Primes Gobots Universe Spoiler. This digibash uses the body of Earthrise Sunstreaker and the head of SS86 Long Haul. Some details were moved or gotten rid of due to how the mold looks. Besides that its a relatively simple design.

Spoiler / Countach Robo has one of my favorite knockoff toys with Mike's Robo Car purely because it's so oddly specific, like, who the fuck is Mike? And why does it look oddly good (minus the rough sticker placement).

Blokees Wheels is Blokees line of mystery box model kits which are in their vehicle modes. In the new series one of the rare alternate color schemes of another model is Bugbite in his G1 Gobots color scheme with the vehicle mode being based on the Classics version.

Machine Puzzler (Gobots Puzzler) has a number of well known structural issues like 3 figures being held together by just lightbar, the upper torso being connected via a metal hoop that cant fully sit tight due to the wheels preventing it from being uniform, and more. This... 1/2

Also forgot to mention the most evident part of all of this which is that Puzzler uses the head of Rescue Bot Chase's head, sorry.

Considering how many toys and characters were put in the Monster Gobots subline and the Monster Gobots insectoid aesthetic, its kind of shocking that Traitor was not made to be a Monster Gobot in the show or toyline as he shares a similar insectoid aesthetic as them.

It's hard to see because of them being in combiner mode and there being multiple characters in front of them but as confirmed by the artist IKY the Puzzler bots in the Renegade mural are based on specific figures. Tic Tac is based on 2010 Tracks modified to be a combiner torso.. 1/5

You ever think about how crazy it is that Bandai literally did a pretty much 1 to 1 recreation of Sunstreaker, especially the head?

Very funny to have this as an alt cover for the same issue of the Go-Bots IDW comic where this happens.

The Monster Gobots don't make up too much of the Gobots toyline and yet they are incredibly varied with just the 16 figures they had 8 regular figures, a Super Gobot figure, a whole combiner and a Wendy's toy.

All 3 of the Dread Launchers, Chaos, Re-Volt, and Traitor were some of the only Gobots given mercy and spared from appearing in the IDW Gobots comic.

The Dread Launcher Chaos' animation sheet shows an animation model of just his transporter, something not seen in the show, instead in the show when he appears in vehicle mode the jet and transporter are connected rather than separate.

Transformers Age of the Primes Gobots Universe Hans-Cuff. This one uses the body and head of the Breakdown remold of Wildrider (specifically the G2 version). Not my ideal pick but it's the only one that came to mind when making it. Yeah, not much to say, speaks for itself.

The Dread Launchers recieved Transformers designs through the Fun Publications Renegade mural. Traitor's design is based on the body of Animated Waspinator and the head of G1 Ransack.

Lowkey now that I've seen this I can kinda understand why they didn't use her original toy design in the show. With so much of her body being white it would stand out and take attention away from everything else in the animation as well as Cy-Kill already having some white.

The Renegade Power Marcher Quick Step was given a design for the Fun Publications Renegade mural with it being a digital recolor of the Grimlock Hero Mashers, likely in reference to the fact the original Quick Step couldn't transform.

It seems like Nemesis (the unreleased power warrior recolor of Land Commander 5) was quite far along in development before it's cancellation as it was seen in multiple magazines and advertisements including the Tonka 1986 catalog used to promote the final year of Gobots toys.

Machine Robo 1982 was a project made for third party promotional marketing like the TV Land magazine in order to maintain a consistent. 82 had the Machine Robo be piloted by a Romulan named Takeru Akiba in order to protect their former home Earth from the Dogra.

In the second half of the Gobots show, Night Ranger's animation model shows up very very often and as a non-speaking part. He is also often paired with a non speaking version of Hans-Cuff during these scenes.

Randomly hit me the other day how absurd it is that Combat Robo who turns into a photorealistic Smith & Wesson Model 469 pistol without an orange cap is a real toy that released. Oh and it could fire rubber bullets with faces on them. What the fuck were they thinking man.

Machine Robo Unitroborn Riceball Police Car is getting a recolor that gives the toy a yellow and red color scheme rather than a black and white one. It also turns the riceball into omelet rice.

Steamer received an official design as part of the Fun Publications Guardians murial where he was given the body of Go-Bots Randy and the head of G1 Bumper. As Steamer was a show only character this is the closest he's ever gotten to a toy and it isn't even real.
