Plot Summary

An animated series based on a line of toys called 'Go-Bots'. A race of intelligent robots is hiding on Earth, disguising themselves as ordinary cars and motorcycles. There are two factions: the good Go-Bots, called 'Guardians,' and the evil Go-bots, called 'Renegades.' Each episode features new attempts by the Renegades to seize control of Earth and the galaxy, and the Guardian's efforts to maintain peace. Written by Jean-Marc Rocher

Trivia Tonka acquired the USA/Canada distribution rights for the toys from Bandai who were marketing it in the rest of the world under it's Robo Machine brand in UK/Ireland/Europe and Japan/SE Asia and Machine Men in Australia/NZ. Surprisingly only Australia showed the Cartoon using the name that Bandai was selling the toys under in Australia under the Challenge Of The Machine Men title while UK/Ireland/Europe stuck with the US title Challenge of the GoBots rather than re-title the series as Challenge of the Robo Machines after Bandai and Worldvision who was the then Worldwide distributor for the series offered the US series made by Hanna-Barbera Productions either dubbed into Japanese or in the original English soundtrack with Japanese subtitles to the Japanese TV networks who turned both options down.
