Migh-Tee Ro-Bots! Migh-Tee Ve-Hi-Kills!
For some reason, I have the GoBots theme in my head. Not the whole theme, mind you. Just the part that goes, “Migh-Tee Ro-Bots! Migh-Tee Ve-Hi-Kills!”
Remember GoBots? They were nowhere as cool as Transformers, but Cy-Kill was pretty badass all the same. And Zod was cool, too. Leader-1 was a pussy, though. Same with all the Guardians.
I get really odd songs stuck in my head all the time. Especially really bad songs. This morning I woke up with “I Got My Mind Set On You” in my head, for instance. I think I’ll start keeping a log of songs that get stuck in my head from now on, starting with this.
EDIT: What I had in my head was actually the song from the GoBots commercials in my head, which is even weirder.

You’re a bastardly bastard.
I had the following songs stuck in my head thanks to retrojunk.com:
- Construx
- Wheeled Warriors
- Sanford and Son
- Super Mario
Now I have Gobots in my head.
November 23rd, 2005 at 8:43 am
They actually have the songs posted online?
Sanford and Son had an awesoem theme song. “Bup bup pweedooo! Bup bup pweedo beedoo boop!”
November 23rd, 2005 at 8:45 am
“Bup bub pweedooo! Bup bup pweedo beedoo boop!
Budda bup bup bup bup pweedooodooo!”
November 23rd, 2005 at 8:51 am
What the hell? I just watched the Gobots intro and nowhere in it does it say “Migh-Tee Ro-Bots! Migh-Tee Ve-Hi-Kills!”
I must have a Gobots commercial tune in my head. But how? And why?
November 23rd, 2005 at 1:00 pm
These are among the great unanswered questions of our time.
November 23rd, 2005 at 1:04 pm
42?
November 23rd, 2005 at 1:50 pm
That’s the answer to only 1 question, though.
And that question is, “What do you get when you multiply 6 by 9?”
November 23rd, 2005 at 1:51 pm
You’re right. Dammit. Dammit all.
You know what sound GoBots lasers made?
“Duhkha Duhkha! Duhkha Duhkha!”
November 23rd, 2005 at 4:10 pm
Nothing sounds cooler than Prime’s Gun.
Except for the Theme song from Great Space Coasters.
You will NOT Out-comment me.
November 23rd, 2005 at 6:08 pm
I don’t even know the theme from Great Space Coasters. I’ll have to find it and listen to it now.
Out-comment? I didn’t know it was a contest.
November 24th, 2005 at 8:48 am
It’s not.
You’re it.
November 24th, 2005 at 8:52 am
They should actually make a GoBots video game. Screw the Transformers. Sure, they’re cooler, but they get too much attention these days. I’m all for obscureness. A GoBots/Snorks Adventure Quest would really hit the spot right about now.
November 24th, 2005 at 8:55 am
You need to throw in some Shirt Tales to make it a good deal.
November 24th, 2005 at 9:01 am
A game based on Droids would be awesome, too. And by awesome, I mean it would induce that “Oh crap it’s Sunday and there is nothing better on and tomorrow is school and I haven’t started my homework yet” dread.
November 24th, 2005 at 9:08 am
Hehehe.
Yeah.
I remember when I was a kid, and all those TV-based games would come out for the C64. And then I’d get them.
And then I would be very disappointed.
Stupid games.
November 24th, 2005 at 9:10 am
Yeah. What’s funny is that right now, I could write code for games better than those. I should actually do a text-based Choose Your Own Adventure game sometime. I’ve always wanted to. I’m just super lazy.
November 24th, 2005 at 9:36 am
You should do one on your site as a sidebar entry.
That would be cool.
You can make it really hard, and when someone wins, you can give them a Shatton Button, or Shutton, as we call it.
November 24th, 2005 at 9:38 am
No, I’m too lazy. It’s not going to happen.
November 24th, 2005 at 11:49 am
Well then.
Shame on you!
November 24th, 2005 at 11:57 am
I know. I mention it, then say I’m not going to do it. What a jerk I can be.
November 25th, 2005 at 8:08 am
Yeah.
But you’re pretty cool.
I don’t think I will send out the hit squad.
Led by….
Cy-Kill.
November 25th, 2005 at 8:11 am
Cy-Kill’s transformation is a little lame. Even lamer is that I can remember emulating it by kneeling and putting my fists together on the floor in front of me.
Hey… Halloween costume idea! No one would get it.
November 25th, 2005 at 9:57 am
Hah!
My parents had one of those ab wheel things. It was like a rolling pin. You kneeled down and grabbed a handle on each side of a wheel and then rolled forward, and back.
I only used it to pretend I was Cy-Kill.
November 25th, 2005 at 10:25 am
Wow. We are huge nerds. You especially!
November 25th, 2005 at 10:38 am
Yeah.
The only nerd bigger than me is YOU!
:)
November 26th, 2005 at 7:45 am
Yes! I win.
November 26th, 2005 at 1:32 pm
Okay.
Well, we will have to resume this when I get back from Cuba.
November 30th, 2005 at 6:04 pm
Agreed. Or you can be a huger dork than me and keep posting from Cuba. It can happen!
December 5th, 2005 at 1:23 pm
I almost posted here from Cuba, but it took too long to load.
COMMENT OVERLOAD!
December 5th, 2005 at 1:27 pm
Yeah. I blame you. And me, having to reply to everything you post. Dammit!
December 5th, 2005 at 2:11 pm
Yes.
Our reluctance to stop replying will be the undoing of the internet.
December 5th, 2005 at 2:13 pm
Or this site. Whichever comes first.
In other news, did you see those Transformer costumes?
December 7th, 2005 at 8:56 am
No! Linky linky!
Man typing hurts today.
December 7th, 2005 at 9:07 am
I don’t have the link anymore. You got it in an email when you were on holiday. Also: That sucks that you broke your finger. Hope it heals in time for some Gamecubin’.
December 8th, 2005 at 5:40 pm
What? Jorge broke his finger?
WTF, man, 9000 e-mails a day at work, and this NEVER ONCE comes up?
Fine. You guys wanna leave me out of the loop? SCREW YOU, then.
I’m gonna play Battlefront tonight. USING ALL MY FINGERS.
Stupid Elite Secret Brown Society.
December 8th, 2005 at 5:41 pm
Ok, I’m really off to prep pork chops now.
USING ALL MY FINGERS.
December 14th, 2005 at 8:56 am
Is that what you’re calling it now?
“Prepping Porkchops”?
I get yo’ ol’ lady to prep my porkchops.
December 14th, 2005 at 8:58 am
Nice one, Figs.
Reay also uses all his fingers to remove one single nose hair. His are about 1 cm in diametre. Gross!
December 14th, 2005 at 11:55 am
His fingers? Or his nose hair?
March 4th, 2006 at 9:37 pm
The nose hair on his fingers, go figure that one out!
March 7th, 2006 at 5:49 am
Yikes.
That’s some crazy hair finger noses.
March 7th, 2006 at 5:47 pm
I thought I had it bad, being brown and all.
March 8th, 2006 at 5:53 am
Can’t compare to being a Danish Finger Nosehair factory.
March 8th, 2006 at 1:22 pm
When he was little, he brought a whole new meaning to fingerpainting, as he had brushes on his fingers.
March 16th, 2006 at 2:11 pm
This was his hidden talent.
But then, it went away.
Poor Reay.
May 4th, 2006 at 9:28 pm
But then he got his other talent: Crankypantsness!
Bastard stole my talent.
July 12th, 2006 at 1:04 pm
Reay’s other talent is to steal the talents of others.
July 12th, 2006 at 9:38 pm
God bless ‘im!
July 20th, 2006 at 3:23 pm
So..
How ’bout those gobots?
August 16th, 2006 at 12:10 pm
Remember the scooter one? I think he was called Scooter. He was always smiling, too.
Coptur had a beak. Who makes a beaked transforming robot?
August 16th, 2006 at 12:57 pm
The Gobots people, that’s who.
They should have called him “Beaky”
August 16th, 2006 at 12:58 pm
Him and Wheelie from Transformers could have been friends.
August 16th, 2006 at 1:02 pm
Or brutal, brutal enemies.
Or..
…
lovers…
August 16th, 2006 at 1:05 pm
Most likely they were lovers.
I was watching some Transformers last week and the replay value goes something like this:
1 - Wow! Transformers! I used to watch this all the time. I can’t wait to see these DVDs!
2 - That wasn’t as good as I remember and I paid ninety bucks for this. I feel dirty
3 - Hrm. It’s actually a lot worse than I remember. I liked stupid stuff when I was a kid.
4 - HAHAHAHAHA! Grimlock is so annoying!
5 - HAHAHAHAHA! Everyone is so annoying!
6 - I could have written this.
7 - No wonder I thought this story was so good.
August 16th, 2006 at 1:07 pm
I agreeing.
:)
I don’t know if it’s a good idea to relive all memories.
September 20th, 2006 at 3:15 pm
Bow down to me!
BOW DOWN TO ME I SAY!
September 21st, 2006 at 9:33 am
I don’t remember the Go-Bots Zod Monster talking like the Zod in Superman Two. Or are we no longer on the Go-Bots thread :P
Did anyone actually own that toy? It seemed somehow wrong to me.
October 17th, 2006 at 1:24 pm
The Go-Bots thread will never die!
NEVER!
November 6th, 2006 at 9:51 pm
Of course not. It’s like the brain that wouldn’t die.
November 7th, 2006 at 4:20 pm
remember the 1995 Go-Bot Megatron?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megatron
December 28th, 2006 at 3:06 pm
You mean Reay’s brain?
January 17th, 2007 at 3:38 pm
This is the thread that never ends…
January 18th, 2007 at 11:10 am
Is that like the Neverending Story?
I remember seeing that at someone’s place as a kid, who had better cable than we did.
Would that movie suck if I saw it again today?
I never did see any of the sequels. How is old Bastian doing today?
January 24th, 2007 at 12:37 pm
Him and that big furry weirdo had several children.
Bastian is a stay-at-home something or other.
January 24th, 2007 at 8:08 pm
I never saw any of those movies but the girls in my grade six class loved it. You guys is little girls.
January 30th, 2007 at 10:47 am
dude, I was only in between grades 3 and 4 when I saw it. Grade 6? What grade sixer would see it?
February 2nd, 2007 at 2:54 pm
I will visit you on Friday and pull your scrotum out through your nostrils for calling me a little girl.
I’m clearly a big girl.
February 4th, 2007 at 11:34 pm
Yes, Jorge wears Pampers Pull-Ups® Brand Training Pants.
“I’m a big kid now”
June 7th, 2007 at 10:20 am
Aaaaaaaaanyway…
What the hell?
This thread almost died?
CPR for the Thread!
June 7th, 2007 at 11:03 am
Yeah wtf indeed. Almost got killed is what happened.
July 18th, 2007 at 12:49 pm
Well I won’t allow that to happen, man.
I JUST WON’T!
July 18th, 2007 at 12:56 pm
Good. Anyhow isn’t weird that Hasbro now owns GOBOTS?
July 24th, 2007 at 11:53 am
This I did not know.
Wait…
Who owned GOBOTS originally?
January 29th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
Nobody owns GOBOTS. You can’t own them. They OWN YOU.
January 29th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
And yes, that contradicts my previous comment on HASBRO owning them. Did Tonka own them before? I think so. Whatever. Fucking look it up.
January 29th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
Don’t make me come over there.
January 29th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Not even to snugs?
January 30th, 2008 at 8:16 am
Well…
Maybe…
January 30th, 2008 at 8:28 am
Nice! Bow-chika-waaah-waah.
Remember the Go-Bot headquarters that was essentially like an AT-AT?
January 31st, 2008 at 10:41 am
Yeah.
RIP-OFF!
February 13th, 2008 at 11:53 am
I had that toy growing up. You know what I did with it? In grade 10, I modded it so I could hook up my cassette player to its speaker to BLAST Snoop Doggy Dogg. Was pretty cool.
