Despite that fact, I still think he's a cool looking toy..

& more importantly he turns into a old British military vehicle..

If this guy had a 'con or 'bot badge the I sure TF fanboys would be raving about him..
Sorry guys, just had to get that of my chest..

I have one called warpath his leg got broken with too much playing he was an apache gunship. Is that a modern gobot or one of the older ones?

It's not like I'm a big fan of 'em, but some, like this one, were pretty well designed & made of good quality die-cast metal..by the time this guy "Defendor" was made most Transformers had just turned into blocks of plastic!
Most Transformer fans slag off "Robo-Machines" out off hand..which just gets to me.
Warpath's another one of the better one's as well Ironblood, he's one of the early ones I think, & would like to have one in my collection.

I know what you mean about that but I was a fan of both thanks to timmy mallet and wide awake club

Well, I must admit I'm more selective than that; the figure must have not just a 'bot or 'con insignia, it also must have a classic name corresponding to a character I lack. If not, I could still buy it if it's a classic homage with a changed name (like Shockblast) or if I had planned some ideas for it (like Snowcat).
That's why I have never bought a TFA Bulkhead.
Despite that, congrats, Thundershot.

Well, I'd rather get a GoBot, if it's a known guy like Turbo or Bug Bite, than get a TF with the name "Oil Slick".

they make much more realistic vehicles on the whole and more interesting robots when transformed... dont remember them being "cheap" either...

Yes..I normally go for Transformers,or any thing from a toyline,I like the look/design of myself, even with old

& classic Joes I'll only buy items for pleasure, not just to "complete the set".

As my old art teacher would often say.."Please justify that statement"
or was it "Were they any sexual problems?"
Nope.. Thinking about it, that was Louise from Dear John wasn't it?
