This animated series – produced by Hanna-Barbera and based on a line of toys by Tonka – had a race of intelligent robots hiding on Earth, disguising themselves as ordinary cars, trucks and motorcycles.
There were two factions: the good GoBots, called ‘Guardians,’ led by the charismatic Leader-1, and the evil GoBots, called ‘Renegades,’ led by Cy-Kill.
Each episode featured new attempts by the Renegades to seize control of the Earth and the galaxy and the Guardians’ efforts to maintain peace.
In many ways, the series was a poor relative of Transformers (1984-1987), which had a very similar concept.
