GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords Trailers

The GoBots, television's amazing transformable super heroes, star in their first full length feature film, "GoBots: War of the Rock Lords." It's wall-to-wall action and high tech fun as the heroic Guradian GoBots join the Rock Lords' battle for control of the ultimate super weapon. And they'd better hurry, because the Guardian GoBots' all-time worst enemies, the Renegades, are out to use the super weapon for their own evil purposes.

best movie i've ever seen.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

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!

I really loved this movie. Well I've always loved robot & androids like Transformers, Datal, Lore, Go Bots, so of course I did! And transforming rocks ... Now there's something you don't see every day! I must see it again, it's probably available on DVD nowadays.I adored the Rock Lord character Solitaire the most. She was kind, wise and caring. She looked lovely and her voice was done really well. Kudos to Margot Kidder! *Memo to me, must search Ebay for Solitaire toy ... * Nuggit was cute also, reminded me of the Transformer Bumblebee! I also like the Go Bot Characters, Leader 1, Sparky, Small Foot, Pathfinder, Scooter, Fitor and Cop-Tur, though it's been a while since I saw the movie and I can't remember if some of those characters were in it, alas.It was a good movie, clearly showing how good can overcome evil, as it should. Sends a positive message to the world.I wish the movie was longer though, with more Go Bot and Rock Lord characters, particularly the more obscure ones, like Steamer.I also wanted to know more about Solitaire, the Jewel Lord Diamond Queen!

Totally generic, forgettable trash. Boring story and terrible animation (typical of Hanna Barbera). Not much different than the equally forgettable TV series, except with this they got "celebrity" voices. Hanna Barbera should never have been hired to make a robot cartoon. There was a reason Transformers is remembered and loved and Gobots gone and forgotten-- the difference in quality of their respective television shows. Both were good toys, but Transformers had fun stories and great animation (for its time). Gobots was standard Saturday Morning schlock. I strongly suggest get the DVDs of "Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos" (currently out on Region 1) instead and see how the Gobots & Rock Lords should have been done.

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?
