'No parking means no parking!' They're both tow trucks, so why not turn Hoist into the parking law-obsessed tow truck from Robots in Disguise 2001?Īfter hearing a toy reviewer talk about a customizer turning Energon Strongarm into Swindle, I decided to make a digibash of my own. Yes, there was a Transformer named Backstreet, and I have a soft spot for him even though he didn't do much in media. Why wasn't this made officially? Maybe they didn't want any other Autobots to have Australian accents. To me, Cybertron Overhaul always felt like a Brawn homage with his color scheme, SUV altmode, and even personality, so I decided to recolor him based on the original's recolor, Outback. It's back to Generation 2 for this one, which is based on Classics 2006 Mirage.

As for Robo, he's based on the Prime First Edition Bulkhead. Which Spychanger? Hot Shot? Yeah, I guess the flame job kinda does evoke Hot Rod/Rodimus. Prime Robo kind of looks like Bulkhead and Spychaser does sort of look like Rodimus Prime.

Transformers the Movie (1986) Last edited on 08:55:06 PM by Tahixham WhiteYoshiEgg Hot Rod: I have nothing but contempt for this court! Quintesson Judge: Silence, or you will be held in contempt of this court! I've added some CSS to this post that should fix it don't remove it. Tahixham Edit: don't post a ton of massive images that stretch the site tables. I'm getting sleepy, so I'll post more later. Dashlane is a 'middle aged' warrior who comes to be a mentor to Skybolt, an artificial Transformer created on Earth. High Beam is probably my favorite of the first wave G2 Go-Bots and one of the first I got. Siege Sideswipe is the perfect base for updating the Generation 2 Go-Bots and their Spychanger successors. Besides, Robo could transform after the Fiona's Forest side quest. Prime First Edition Bulkhead was a perfect base. Shortly after doing Johnny, I decided to do Robo. There were probably a few better motorcycle-based Transformers I could've used to homage this memorable Chrono Trigger NPC. Said reviewer thought it would be a good idea to make a modern Windbreaker from a Windcharger. This one was inspired by a comment a toy reviewer made on Generation 2 Windbreaker. I don't have the money to do real customs, so I decided to go the digital route. Someone suggested customizing the most recent Hoist toy into Liftor, one of the robots from this failed rival line. It was inspired by a conversation on a Transformers Discord server when I showed off one of the lesser competitors to the original Transformers in the mid 80s. A few months ago, with the help of a Discord friend named Nathanial Prime, I started making Transformers digibashes. There was also a lot of different toys, by a lot, we mean this many….What is digibashing? It's basically using a photo editing app to create virtual custom toys by using toy photos found online. Unfortunately, unlike Transformers, the GoBots figures came with no distinction once outside the box, they had no markings to show what side they were on which meant you had to watch the show in order to know which GoBot was on which side. The show picks up the story in the midst of this great conflict as the GoBots have taken the fight to planet Earth. But quick to thwart the Renegades were the leftover Guardians, led by the gallant Leader-1.

A disgruntled Guardian named Cy-Kill rebelled with a group of followers and formed the domination-bent Renegades to usurp power and threaten the freedom of the planet. The story began on the war torn planet of Gobotron.

The GoBots were divided into two classes, “Friendly” and “Enemy”, this was changed to “Guardians” and “Renegades” with the launch of the animated cartoon series ‘Challenge of the GoBots’. Larger figures were then released at around 5-6 inches in height and named ‘Super GoBots’. These first figures were 2-3 inches in height, they transformed into a mixture of different machines, including WW2 fighter aircraft. Tonka released the first batch of toys in 1983 and were actually a reissue of a series of toys originally produced by Popy of Japan, who later became Bandai.

An animated TV show ‘Challenge of the GoBots’ was also released with 66 episodes and then a follow-up movie called GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords. The toy-line was first released in 1983 and ran for four years until its eventual discontinuation in 1987. In the great toy robot wars of the 1980’s there was only one winner, Transformers! While it’s fair to say Transformers dominated the transforming robot toys market, they had stiff competition from the Gobots which pre-dated Transformers by a year.
