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.
