The Challenge of the GoBots theme tune is theme tune to the Hanna-Barbera Challenge of the GoBots cartoon, arranged and conducted by Hoyt Curtin - one of his last works for the studio before retiring from the company in 1986.

Opening Theme[edit | edit source]

Lyrics[edit | edit source]

Considering his iconic work for the likes of The Flintstones, Top Cat and Josie and the Pussycats, Curtin perhaps already had one foot in retirement when penning the theme tune.

THE GOBOTS! THE GOBOTS!
THE GOBOTS!
THE GO-BOTS!

Also mixed in were diegetic sound effects of tyres screeching, blasters blasting and GoBots converting.

Closing Theme[edit | edit source]

Basically just an instrumental of the opening titles.

Notes[edit | edit source]

  • Credit where it's due, that high-tempo version that played in the last few minutes when the Renegades were getting wrecked is an absolute banger.
  • Tempo commissioned their own version of the track for their various cassette stories. Despite being clearly done on a Bontempi Home Organ it's very catchy.
