Robo Machine featuring Challenge of the GoBots was a book published in the United Kingdom by World International Publishing Limited.

It was a compilation reprint of the two Golden Super Adventure Books published by Western Publishing Company in America in a single hardcover, roughly the same size as World's annuals. As such it is a loose adaptation of the first two episodes of the original TV mini-series, adapted by Robin Snyder and with art by the legendary Steve Ditko.

Notes[edit | edit source]

  • The book was exclusive to the now-defunct British homeware chain British Home Stores, commonly abbreviated to BHS.
  • The cover is a fresh piece of work that bears absolutely no relevance to anything that happens inside, instead seeming to be inspired by someone skimming "The Rescue of Road Ranger" and getting the events wrong.
  • The title page uses the name "War of the GoBots" but the cover and spine just credit the book as Robo Machine featuring Challenge of the GoBots.
  • Spellings are modified to British English - e.g. "Command Centre".
  • A printing error messes up the colours on the first three pages of GoBots on Earth.
