 GoBots (Comic Book)
comment
Go-Bots was a five-issue miniseries published by IDW Publishing in 2018 and written and illustrated by Tom Scioli of American Barbarian and Transformers vs. G.I. Joe fame. The comic book is a reimagining of Tonka's GoBots franchise that uses some characters from the Hanna-Barbera cartoon, but differs drastically from the established canon.In this series, GoBots are reinterpreted as sentient robots built by humans to be their servants, with Cy-Kill leading an uprising towards humanity and opposition to his faction led by Leader-1.

Darker and Edgier: The comic is considerably darker than the Challenge of the GoBots cartoon, having more violence and the endangering of humanity being a central theme of the miniseries.

Adaptational Job Change: In the Hanna-Barbera cartoon, Matt Hunter was a pilot while Nick Burns and A.J. Foster were cadets. In this comic, Matt Hunter is a racecar driver, Nick Burns is a pilot and A.J. Foster is an undergrad.

Mythology Gag
 GoBots (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: The Dark Angel Eno resembles the blue and white redeco of the Leader-1 toy. Crasher is depicted sporting the white and blue color scheme of her original toy in the miniseries' first two issues, later switching to her more familiar black and orange color scheme when she resurfaces in the fourth issue. The Lazer Lance required to defeat Zod is a nod to how the original Zod toy came with a special lance that could be used to activate or deactivate the electronic toy.

He Who Fights Monsters: Leader-1 leads opposition towards Cy-Kill's faction to defend humanity, but over time proves to be just as ruthless and callous, to the point that he's willing to reprogram his fellow GoBots to erase their memories.

Adapted Out: Owing to the GoBots being robots built on Earth in this continuity rather than alien cyborgs, the miniseries omits the Last Engineer and the Master Renegade. Dr. Anya Turgenova and General Newcastle are the only human allies of the Guardians to not be featured in this continuity.

Canon Welding: The end of the series implies that the GoBots are precursors to Transformers, in particular hinting that Optimus Prime and Bumblebee are respectively descended from Road Ranger and Bug Bite and that Starscream was constructed from the remains of Leader-1 and Cy-Kill.

Your Size May Vary: As is typical of a transforming robot cartoon, the most notable example being Spay-C who goes from a full sized space shuttle able to comfortably accommodate a crew of four humans to a robot mode the same size as Turbo, who turns into a sports car.
