I agree, Gohan should have been the main hero as it went on. I started watching it from the start recently and it's really obvious that they're setting up Gohan as the central character. I think the writer even said that was his plan, but he caved to the fans, who loved Goku too much.

That being said, I still like Goku a lot, it's just got kind of predictable, where everyone in time becomes one of his cheerleaders.

Actually alot of the pressure came from Toriyama's editors at Shonen Jump. It's why things frequently change up in pretty giant ways. Like the two first androids weren't enough for the editors, and so he drew up 17 and 18, and then they were "too pretty and young looking punks" so he was forced to introduce Cell.

That being said, I'm 17 let's gooooo

I like Goku too.

Because he's blue?

Like a smurf? Is that your fetish Eon, a humanoid smurf?

I look like young Adult Gohan with a beard but I'm perverted like Master Roshi.

You're totally Whis

Yup, totally see that. Including the "smarter than everyone else in the room but almost no one realizes it yet" thing, too.

... how’d you figure it out?!

I'm a Jeanie.

Anyone else here watch Challenge of the Go-Bots?

Or has a few Go-Bot toys?

The IP is actually owned by Hasbro now, meaning Michael Bay could have easily cribbed them into his Transformers movies. Say, by bio-engineering some military volunteers ala Captain America, infusing them with the All Spark. The trailer reveal can be the standard dark and gritty fare with a grim general, the president, and some scientists talking about an anti-transformers task force. Scenes of Decepticons wrecking random havok. Then finally a radio message is relayed to a shadowed figure on a deserted cliff overseeing a burning town, and replied "This is leader 1. Lock and load." Still in shadow, transforms into a jet and flies to the rescue.

Fade to black with giant rocky letters flying in with explosive sounds "The Go-Bots" to a bar from the old theme song, And the movie audience cheers so loud and long they complain in the neighboring theaters.

Maybe even work into the back story that Leader 1 was one of the jets who attacked Megatron in the first movie.

Yeah, a Go-Bots movie would be the best thing ever. Better then Netflix Iron Fist.

Netflix Iron Fist was trash.

Awesome. 👆

So, semi-random follow up question.

Let's say you're watching a dog that has a thing for eyedrop containers, somehow gets ahold of a bottle of drops you were sure were in your pocket, and chews them up pretty good.

Cap very dented and deformed, marks all over the bottle. Would you risk using them?

I looked it over and it doesn't seem punctured, but I don't know..

Poor GoBots they don't get no respect.

Leader 1 and Starscream both transform into an F-15 jet.

The Kmart Transformers

When I was a kid I had mostly Transformers when it came to the transforming toys, Jazz, Starscream and Smokescreen of the ones I recall. My friends had Transformers as well. I think it was my ***** of an aunt who got be a Gobot (it was blue) as a present, I do recall liking the toy though, just not as much.

I do also recall we made fun of the neighbor kid who only had Gobots.

Whicb Gobot? Was it the purple one, Crash? Or the red (Orange?) one, Turbo?

I had mostly Transformers myself actually. The Constructions were borderline unusable as Devastator, you couldn't pose it or even hold it without pieces falling off.

Naturally it went out with the junk at tag sale prices, which hopefully made a collector very happy.

I don't really recall, I was a kid. I think it had a cone-like head?

Something I think of the toys I either threw away or gave away and cringe. eg GI Joe was my go-to thing, I must have had 45-50 plus vehicles in storage that I gave to my friend's little brother back in the early-mid 90's, all in very good condition. That kid destroyed them all in under a year.

My first Transformers toy was Hubcap (the red little hot rod) from Toys-R-Us.
