Gobots
Series 1 Reviews

The regular Gobot figures were the main thrust of the line, and began arriving at stores in late 1983. The first series was made up of 24 repackaged figures from the Machine Robo Series. All the toys were sold carded, and given names and allegiances. Early examples simply named them as 'Friendly' or 'Enemy' Gobots, but the 'Guardian' and 'Renegade' names were soon attached. As would become the norm for the line, the more popular figures were kept on alongside the new Series 2 toys from late 1984, while several were discontinued after around a year on sale. At this stage, the only difference between American and Japanese/European figures was that the Gobots had only factory-applied stickers, generally omitting a number of decals from the Bandai sticker sheets.
