I always liked Gobots! They were all the same size, they were all cars, and it made sense. With Transformer toys, you had a boom box the size of a car, that was the size of a plane. Madness. I didn't know that was a Sears thing, though, I assumed they were from some other competing toy/cartoon company.

@BydoEmpire I liked Gobots too! We never had the Transformers cartoon here...The actual joke (from the movie CLerks II I think) is "Everybody knows Gobots is the K-Mart's Transformers". (probably paraphrasing)...Cebus already used K-mart so I threw Sears in there. Just one of those jokes like I make...You know the kind. Nobody laughs...Nobody knows what the hell I'm talking about..Oh except people who are drinking or just woke up (There's my people!)

Actually when I was about 12 or 13 I Did have bell bottoms! Even crazier, but true; They were this bright pastel green color! I also got a go-kart for Christmas one year...And I was wearing those pants when my brother drove it...I was on the passenger side and he turned so sharply, I was flung off but the knobby tire left a black skidmark down my bell bottomed jeans! Pretty sure we threw them out after that.
