I know Hasbro has the rights to the name Gobots now, and are using it for those playskool Transformers, but does anyone else wich they'd make some real gobots again? There are some awesome vehicles ou there now that would make some kick @$$ gobots. There are several awesome new airplanes, such as the stealth bomber. They never did make any boats(that I know of).
Even reissues of older gobots would be cool.

Here is one boat/ battleship I know of: www.robot-japan.com/B-17%20Machine%20Robo.htmThe new Gobots/ Machine robots have been only O.k. from what I have heard. I think there was a charm in the old diecast Go-bots in their simplicity. Now I wonder if that simple of a design would sell well.... In any case, I would LOVE to see more boat designs and more diecast used. -Ed

This isn't a re-issue, I honestly don't think Machine Robo/Gobots will be re-issued again, since it seems like each time a new Machine Robo anime come out, the figures change, just take a look at some of the characters from the old Anime Series, a lot of things change and so does the figures, I can deal with the first two series, because the changes between the two was somewhat minor, but Machine Robo Rescue figures absolutely sucks. It has nothing on the old school joint.

DC,
Do you have a recommended rescue series combiner toy? I know the train is tops, but which of the 5 in 1 series toys are worth a serious look?

Give Yuki of Emeryville, CA an e-mail. He's the owner of Kimonomyhouse on the web. I forget the web address, but I got mine from them (they are next to San Francisco, CA).

I found a few places, searching with "Kimonomyhouse", but I don't see anything about gobots. I know this sounds pathetic...but i'd REALLY like to get some of these foreign gobots.

The site I was thinking of is this site: www.kimonomyhousetoys.com/shop.cgi( I can't be sure the link still works. I have a firewall here at work). Just contact them through any means printed in the site and ask. They probably don't have them published for sale but may have stock in their back room. Good luck! -Ed

I'll have to try from home as well as I'm not able to pull it up here at work either. I have managed to snag 2 Bullseyes and 2 snoops, and a Mr Moto, but Dart, Sky Jack, and Man-O-War are my 3 main priorities...everything else is a bonus

DC, Do you have a recommended rescue series combiner toy? I know the train is tops, but which of the 5 in 1 series toys are worth a serious look? -Ed Persoanlly I don't like the rescue series, but if you really want to buy them, look for the combiner series 7 that's coming out in June, and the new giant robot which can be turned into a red/pinkish spaceship in July, these two are the only two so far that's somewhat living up to the standard of the old Machine Robo figures, others, well I am sorry to the people who love the new series, but quite frankly, the ones that have been out so far really don't worth a dime.
