Heres another great Transformers wannabe line from the mid 80's. They were a small line and sort of along the lines of GoBots with very basic transformations. The main difference was that they had a removable pull-back motor that could be used in vehicle mode and robot mode. The were die-cast and plastic and actually pretty cool. Heres the 4 I have so far:

Motobots!!! Finally I know how they're called!!!! I love those bots, together with my microchange Soundwave and Perceptor they was my first transforming robots. I like specially the red truck and the gray jet, when I was I child they looked to me like Optimus and Leader-1. Here's mine:

Man, I didn't even realized they made bigger ones like the oil tanker truck. Something else I'm gonna need to hunt down..... I always loved how the motor could be removed and replaced depending on how you had the toy transformed. Good stuff!! BTW... My local Rite-Aid had quite a few knock-offs of these guy a couple months ago. I might have to go back and see if they still have 'em.

I found a Motobot at a thrift store last week! I used to have a bunch when I was little. I never had any of the 'real' Transformers but these I liked, I was glad to pick this one up for old times sake.

Saw some carded Moto-bots a few weeks back on ebay, wish I got them. They were apparently 90s versions with garish neon splotches and designs... best part is they each had their own collector trading card!
