He kept seeing images of Vamp in his mind, heard her icy voice playing across his wiring.
Still He tried to pull his arm free again and winced, a crackle of energy from his shoulder drew a pained grunt from him. These were a strange combination of metal and an odd, clearish substance that held stronger than any alloy he was familiar with. He tried to pull free and saw the new bonds looked worse than the acid-melted rocks from before. He was on his back, fixed to a large plate of stone. Grimlock awoke in darkness with a snarl, eyes alert and angry, he tried to move his arms and legs he couldnt.

It all builds - albeit in a very meandering way - to a big smackdown on an island.
There's also a bit more scope to the plot, including trips under the sea and into space, rather than Braxis-centered capering, plus a trip to the USSR and an appearance by Anya. One other change is that the stories do actually link up to each other, which is quite ambitious by World standards. And then it gets really crazy when the Guardians link up with friendly robots from the planet Godaikin, meaning a text cameo for Daidenjin, Vavilos and Biodragon - all remaindered Godaikin stock then available in the UK with hurriedly applied Robo Machine stickers. And there's a minor origin for Baron Von Joy, explaining he was once evil but had been reprogrammed to work for the Guardians, which seems to be an attempt to fix the usual Von Joy/Dr. There is some fun oddness though - a weird attempt to conciliate the pre-Gobots Enemy Invaders branding of Casmodon, Falgos and Zarios with their Gobots status as Vamp, Pincher and Scorp. When others do show up they're the likes of Hans-Cuff, Zod and BuggyMan despite being relatively late in the line this is not somewhere were you'll find weird appearances for Bent Wing or Clutch (it's possible whoever wrote these things only saw the initial mini-series).
That means loads of Leader-1, Scooter, Turbo, Nick, Matt, AJ, Cy-Kill, Crasher and Cop-Tur with only fleeting appearances from anyone else. It follows almost exactly the same template as the first one, with the fictional content being entirely illustrated text stories heavily based on the Challenge of the Gobots cartoon but not as good. There's not much in it and you'd be more likely to jump through hoops to avoid either. The answer is basically the same as it would be to the question "what animal would you like to shit on you?". Meanwhile at Egmont House World Distributors had paid for a licence as they were going to use it for their second Gobots annual in 1986 World Distributors had aĬhallenge they'd set the bar very low the first time around - could even they go lower? Robo Machine had never been a gigantic seller in the UK and thus had less distance to fall, continuing to chug along happily in the #2 spot a long way behind Transformers the line would only really stop when it ran out of figures, even managing to get Fossilsaurus and Dancougar roped in towards the end. In the UK the market was slightly less cut-throat as the simple difficulty of transatlantic business at the time meant fewer of the fly-by-night lines which had boomed briefly had made it across to Britain.
By 1986 Gobots was winding down in America, with the TV series moving to syndication and the toyline running out of new toys and getting squeezed out by Transformers in a shrinking market after the 1985 boom.
