The Guardian Armored Spaceship in "Goodbye Leader-1" by Christopher Colgin, in the Generation 1 Sky Sweeper form Note: Because the episodes were aired out of order, Courageous first appeared in episode 29, "Ultra Zod", nearly a month before "Return to GoBotron" aired, the episode where he was created. ![]() The toy depicted in the commercial was an early version of Courageous with red fists, black guns and no paint on the front of suit P4.

(Toy customizers take note!) My boys would definitely like this, they are 12 and 8, and the 12 is a big fan of the Transformers.Courageous in Challenge of the GoBots episode 29, "Ultra Zod" If the whole thing had been painted black with white highlights, it would have been effectively scary. Except… This thing when combined, actually is a terrifying and weird version of Optimus Prime! You can see the resemblance in the 'chest' area. (The second guy actually looks like he is a friend of the evil scary robot from The Black Hole…)The color combination when they are all together is sadly jarring, not particularly 'monstrous'. Similarly, the top 3 guys do have an air of menace about them, and the 4th, the blue guy, would as well if you had put his arms up in a scary position. Talk about your serious cult tv! LOLNow, all the derision about the Go-Bots aside, the bottom guy with the pink-and-red wings reminds me of some of the artwork of demons in the early Dungeons and Dragons game he's a bit on the scary side. And there were knockoffs of She-Ra there's actually a website of a lady who a fan of these female action figures, some of which actually had cartoon series. BUT…they did have a cuteness factor, and I thought the producers might have been trying to slant them to towards a female audience.After all, He-Man's producers would later add the She-Ra, Princess of Power cartoons and toyline to their marketing empire. They were protective of the humans, while also developing a genuine friendship in some cases.Now, it has been long enough I can hardly remember anything from the Go-Bots episodes I saw, but the artwork, storyline, and voicework was clearly inferior. They were able to do some good explorations of sf themes such as prejudice and acceptance, war and peace, greed and sharing, as the Decepticons strove for power and the energon power source, while the Autobots developed respect for humans and forged teamwork with them, despite their drastic differences. The original Transformers cartoon had a solid edge to it, and it felt like a science fiction series. I also felt like the cartoon was a total knockoff. From a visual perspective, yeah, a clear knock-off cartoon-art-wise (and, now I see, toy-wise, too). I saw a few Go-Bots cartoons back when they were on first run, but never saw any of the toys. ![]()
