When Go-Bots came out, it was one of two robot cartoon series that were produced by American studios based on popular Japanese robot toys. The show started off as a five-part miniseries before going on for two seasons, while its robot rival, Transformers, lasted even longer. Both robot shows even spawned their own animated movies, each with limited success. One interesting thing to note is that Hasbro would later buy the rights to Go-Bots from Tonka, since Hasbro brought the Transformers to American shores. As for the cartoon, it's robots, done Hanna-Barbera style. Frank Welker and Peter Cullen are the popular voices who also worked on TF. An underrated show.
