Mother f***ing Rock Gnarlies.

The GoBots were always the Transformers’ ugly kid brother, so needless to say, the GoBots feature film was “just like Transformers the Movie, only not as good”. Not nearly as good. In fact, it wasn’t “good” at all. While the writing may have been only a few notches below that of the early Transformers stuff, it is still noticeably bad. Now, the Transformers’ character designs only bore a slim likeness to their toy counterparts, but the GoBots? They were precise animated realizations of their toys. As a result, it looks like a bunch of, well, TOYS fighting on screen, not actual characters. The barren desert landscape of the alien world, Quartex, also bears an unfortunate likeness to a kid’s sandbox. So yeah, basically you’re watching some kid play with his toys in his backyard. Thrilling.
