I got the Command Center and loved it as a kid. Then I got Thruster and was kind of bored with it. The sensor gimmick annoyed me and took up too much space inside. Batteries should've been in the head. It was in pristine shape and my parents gave it to Goodwill since I didn't play with it much. Kind of bummed they did that in retrospective but who knew back then they would become kind of classic. I appreciate the playset more now as an adult then I did when a child. I kind of miss it. Still have my Command Center and still love it.
According to the 'GoBots' fandom article, "Bio Dragon" (note the variant spelling) was released as a "Friendly" (Guardian) carrier for the 'Robo Machines' (European GoBots) line.
Hold up. I ain't even know that the Renegade ship had gotten a toy!! (Largely because they advertised the bloody hell outta the Guardians' Command Center...) As for stickers, I think that just the "eyes" on the front end, the stuff on the sides, and that one in the middle of the back end (with the 1-5) are all you need to liven it up without overdoing it. (A lot of G1 Transformers had similar issues...)
@@tydiriumhanger1320 if ya looks up DX Bike Robo, you'll see they have gotten somewhat of a revival. EDIT: Whoops, I see you got some of them already. How is Bike Robo?
I thought of two design fixes for the problems with the extending legs and the trapdoor. For the legs, design it so the wings (which may need to be redesigned to be thicker, more durable) fold onto the extended legs' thighs, preventing the legs from retracting. For the trapdoor, design it so there's a tab that rotates with Cy-Kill's throne; when Cy-Kill turns to face an intruder, the tab will be rotated out from under the trapdoor, sending the intruder to the prison cell. Anyone else want Hasbro to bring back Thruster (who may need to be renamed to avoid confusion with the Decepticon "Conehead" Thrust) as a playset for G1 Minibot (Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, etc.) or GI Joe-sized Transformers?
I had this years ago! My dad bought me this. I wanted Omega Supreme!
Yeah I remember getting Thruster that Christmas 85 and I wish I still have him cause I lost him that 2 yrs later
Not too late. You could still find a decent one to buy and keep.
I miss Go-Bots
They were great are great and should see a reboot!!!

well it's not too late. Maybe you could find a decent thruster in decent shape you could buy and keep with your CC.
@@Crasher1982 Except those Sig triggers caused a LOT of problems. Walther's design so far 0. Big difference.
@@Sportimus Ahh yeah I never had T or CC as a kid so I couldn't compare.
The Thruster reminds me of the BIODRAGON from the japanese super sentai: BIOMAN.
DUDE that looks cool and now I want one!

Great review! I still have the original box and the unit but I stripped the alarm out as a kid and made it into a security alarm for my bedroom.
I can't quite remember, but was the trapdoor triggered by CyKill's throne turning? Or is that Heman and Castle Greyskull ? lol

Yes the Command center was super hyped and promoted back in the day!
I love the gobots they are hot
They seem to get forgotten about especially in the 3p MP line!

Awww, I love gobots.
At least Cykill had knees, that is more than can be said for most G1 Transformers.
Yes he was a great figure for back in the day!

The Gobots had more play value than transformers the Gobots had playsets. Vehicles and more.
I had this, and my parents HATED that motion sensor sound
