Critic Reviews

Stephen Holden

True to Saturday-morning cartoon tradition, GoBots is a jerky, semi coherent series of chases, laser-gun battles and explosions, with an allegorical plot about how no one can handle too much power. Read full review

Save your pennies and watch the GoBots on TV instead. Read full review

Charles Solomon

Unfortunately, the story, script, voice actors and animation all prove less flexible than the toys, and the film never turns into entertainment. GoBots are more fun to play with than they are to watch. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

As poorly animated features go, this one ranks down there with the worst of them. The characters have no real personalities, and the whole thing is just too somber for its own good. Read full review
