Thruster And The Pointless Trap

If you've ever wondered why the bad guys usually lose, it's because they have things like Thruster. Thruster is the spaceship headquarters of the Renegades, the bad guys of the Gobots. Now this normally wouldn't seem like such a bad thing, a giant space ship makes perfect sense for a group of space robots to call home. Adding to the effectiveness of the base is that it can change into a giant robot. That's a good call, seeing as the Guardians base does the same. Even the playing field.

Anybody else notice the giant flaw in it's design?

So Cy-Kill takes Scooter captive. Scooter was snooping around Thruster and not cool Scooter. It's private property. Cy-Kill takes a seat in his throne (not too shabby) and commands Scooter to be imprisoned. Thruster obeys, he lifts his massive arm causing Scooter to fall down a trap door! A trap door that... leads into... a completely open room...

Dang.

Monster Gobots (1986)

Don't ask me to make sense of how my brain works. Because sometimes I have no clue as to why I go from one thing to another. I'm sitting at my desk working, listening to iHeart radio, and for no explainable reason thing about Monster Gobots. No reason why. This commercial is great though, Cy-Kill introduces his new friends who are so ugly it just outright kills plants.

Killer Bike

Action Toys just released the larger version of Bike Robo in that above photo and folks are going crazy for it. It comes with an exchangeable face to give him Cy-Kill's cartoon face. Though personally, I really want the smaller version and have been holding out on getting it for some time now. I'm hoping now that the bigger fancier version is out and has everyone's attention the smaller version will reduce in price eventually and I can snap one up. Then I'll probably have to wait for an even nicer version of the big one to come so I can grab the current one at a reduced price.

Man, those are some sharp Gobots.
