royal send-off for my ugly optimus prime userpic

mightygodking triggered a reminder before me that I have in my home a present from Buckshot Steve.
Optimus Prime, my lifelong friend and mentor, has deserted me for the glamour of Hollywood and I'm rather fearful he will succumb to the cocaine riddled sleazy moral dive that follows (before once again being ressurected as a Unitarian preacher in a year or two from now)
In light of these facts, I present to you some STUFF from,
ROBO MACHINES Featuring The GOBOTS Annual 1986

See they are not the Go-bots or even the Gobots, they are the Robo Machines, featuring the Gobots, like a side-dish or a double act.

See the 70s Cochise Posse with matching fleece ! Laser Beam Destruction

CHECK OUT THAT LOOKS NOTHING LIKE A CAR TECHNOLOGY.

'By Astrobeam to Gobotron' is just one of the many dazzling archived rollickers inside this compendium. It also includes the controversial 'The Exploding Toads of Primus',
ALSO

HIgH-TENSION OMG WTF DRAMA !
There are no comics in the annual, but there are some articles and featurettes on the things that robo machines featuring the gobots turn into. Like harrier jump-jets and um..the Ford Volkswagen Beetle..

IN COMPETITION !!! MUST look SMART, TIDY, DOUBLE HARD GIT POLISHED LIKE A transformersrobotindisguise

Uh, yeah.
Because even HIgH-CAMP Transformersrobotsindisguise videos look more trooper than those robo machines featuring the gobots.
