GoBots: Tonka's answer to Transformers

1 of 33

 

 

GoBots were Minnesota-based Tonka's answer to Transformers. Both lines were incredibly similar - they were knock-offs of a Japanese toy, they were sentient robots that changed into camouflaged vehicles, and they both netted about $60 million in 1984. But there's no question who survived the test of time. Check out these GoBots (and their transformations!) as we hope to inspire some 80s nostalgia. PHOTOS CONTRIBUTED BY TOYARCHIVE.COM
