Which of the two compeating lines did you get as a kid, and which do you prefer as an adult? I had some transformers back in the 80's. I had Bumblebee, Optimus, Grimlock, and 4 others I vaguely remember, but it was mostly Joes and some other lines. I have also found what seems to be a Gobot, a white jet. Just did some online research to try to figure out what the blammed jet was, and it turns out it was the Playskool 1986 My First Jet Robot Toy by Takara. May have been a third b-day present, I have no idea where or when it came from. Not even a real Gobot. I prefer the transformers. Today, Alternator Hound and FOC Grimlock sit on my shelf with my Joes and Takara Nightmare Unicron will arrive on Thursday or tomorrow from BBTS. The first three transformers I've had in years. What about you?

Transformers.
I had both as a kid, but that was mainly due to adults not being able to tell the difference between the two lines. |

This is like asking "did you like Star Wars or Ice Pirates as a kid?"
I did own some GoBots, but there's really no comparison.

I had both but generally I liked the GoBots better. It seemed like with alot of the Gobots in thier vehicle mode they didn't have these huge gaps like Transformers did. I just really liked how some of them it was hard to tell it even transformed into a robot. But mostly they were cheaper, so thats why I really had more. It was funny, I would pick out the GoBots that looked the most like some of the Transformers and use them in thier place since I couldn't get them.
I also liked how they had more military based vehicles, tanks, jets, planes and jeeps. I'd straight up play army with the more than use them as robots lol. |

I did own Gobots yes but DAMN they were flimsy.......my main joy from Gobots came from their respective playsets......both of which we got at Flea markets for really cheap.
they were PERFECT for MASK guys. one a sidenote I still have some of my Rock Lords....their awesome. |

I played with go-bots first (because a friend had some) and I would watch the cartoon at his house. but I don't think I ever owned a single one... when we played I liked being the evil Limousin with the top hat.

I had a mix, but I favored Transformers as a kid. Story was important to me, and TF toys were usually bigger.
As an adult collector, both have merit. Go Bots are nicely designed, easy to find, and have decent amounts of metal in them. Not to mention, Puzzler is one of the best gestaults.

this thread made me look up that stupid top-hat wearing limousine 'tux' and interesting not was that in TF animated a limousine gets a piece of the all-spark in him, comes to life and becomes the decepticon 'Stretch' eventually he is lost in a dimensional portal where he is sent to an alt. 'level' -which is a go-bot term.... so a nod from TF animated creators making an informal go-bot connection....
