GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords

This was the greatest movie I have ever seen. I used to hate the go-bots but have come to love them since seeing this.

The Rock Lords and Go-bots form an alliance that proves that good things can come from bad situations, a must see for any child or adult that loves childish things.

This maybe be hanna-Barbara s greatest accomplishment to date. Anyone who wants to recapture there youth and vigor will enjoy this movie immensely. I suggest it for people of any age.

A must See.

I give it a 10

This film is a 75 minute animated commercial for the Gobots toy line. The animation was produced by Hanna-Barbera, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

Since I was nearly 30 years old when this toy line was introduced, I didn't expect to really understand the charactors, and the plotline.

As I watched this epic, I kept wondering what made Roddy McDowell do a voice for this thing. Musta been paid major bucks.

The bad guys are destroying everything in their paths, and the good guys (the GOBOTS®) are out to get them. Lots of pointless shooting, and noise. Perfect for the kids of the mid '80's.

The color and animation is typical Hanna-Barbera. The backgrounds were decent, but the stilted animation style hurt the flow of the story. Perhaps Tonka (the toy maker) just couldn't see paying more for better work. If they had, this film would be better.

Hanna-Barbera is not at fault here. They are capable of some fine work, and have done fine work in the past. This, unfortunately, is not the one.

This film was rated G. If there had been live actors instead of animation, this thing would be rated PG. What's the difference?

The whole movie was to sell toys. Even Leader one was awful when he didn't want to save Cy- kill, the nut. Is this the same Leader- one? Not that the psycho didn't deserve to be saved, they should have put more thought into this movie not just to sell more toys. The part of the lava scene was unrealistic and they should have added more young go bots. Get rid of those weird rock creatures and put in some young guardians and renegades. They are girl go bots so I resume that they can reproduce since they have souls of men and brains. The only smart people in this entire movie were the girls, Soltaire, small foot and A.j. It would be better if you had a hot shot guardian trying to get himself in trouble than three old pros and a rebellious renegade fighting with old rusty renegade.

I admit I did watch more of the GoBots in childhood than I did the original G1 Transformers. Yes, they do have their similarities but some of the characters from both shows have personality.

Anyway, the Rock Lords movie was an interesting piece. Yes, we get all-new characters in the form of a race of golem-like beings and it wasn't bad. I used to watch this movie all the time but I can't remember the last time I saw it. The Rock Lords were an interesting species. And in all honesty, these stone beings should have gotten their own series a long time ago. With all the reboots going around at the moment, it seems likely. I mean, you can only cover so much in one movie. And all those characters should have been fleshed out too.

Rock Lords might not have aged gracefully but it had an interesting plot. The main stars who played the Rock People did their jobs quite well. I'm not sure I'd watch it again but I can always look on YouTube to see what I remember and what I don't.

If you're not a fan of transforming robots, then this is probably skippable. If you like cheesy yet interesting popcorn plots try it. I'm sure it's a lot better than those live Michael Bay Transformer films.

GoBots War of the Rock Lords follows along the footsteps of the Challenge of the GoBots TV series and expands into a feature length 75 minute runtime, featuring plenty of action and adventure with some notable GoBots for all the GoBot fans out there. It's been a long time since I've seen it, but can tell you it was a great film for the GoBots, best know for CyKill, Leader 1 and more.

Since the first Transformers movie was released, Warner Brothers needs to take advantage of its license of the GoBots and release it to DVD. It's long overdue and there's plenty of robot fans and GoBot fans out there waiting for this film and the TV show box set. DVD/Blu Ray for 2011? Vote yes to the GoBots on DVD/Blu Ray, let Warner Bros know!
