Challenge of the GoBots (disambiguation)
From GoBots Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchFor reasons still not entirely understood, when Tonka and Hanna-Barbera Productions made a cartoon based on the GoBots franchise, instead of just being normal by calling it GoBots they came up with the name Challenge of the GoBots. Thanks to the prominent role of TV and home video in the eighties, the Challenge of the GoBots title took on a life of its own as part of the GoBots brand.
