I learned about them not to long ago and it really is a forgotten brand!

It was a followup line to the GoBots produced be Tonka in 1986 that featured
transforming rock people known as the Rock Lords. The story follows Boulder,
the leader of the rebels against the evil Magmar and his cohorts! I myself own
a Boulder toy, and it features amazing articulation and detail not really seen
anywhere else! Unfortunately the brand never made it past the theatrical film,
and it along with GoBots was cancelled. now you can only find it on Bootleg DVD.
If you remember them, post your thoughts below. : )

No, I don't think I ever had those.

I really liked MASK, which might be a bit unknown:

I love MASK! it really is a shame that other than a few comic book reboots, MASK
has never been that popular compared to other brands.

What about the street sharks? Or the toxic crusaders? Or the biker mice from
mars? All forgotten brands 😞

SilverHawks! Yes!

Throw in ThunderCats and you have my absolute two favorite cartoons from when
I was growing up in the 80s!

It is unfortunate that SilverHawks did not last very long. I remember it being
on for only a short period of time.

I love ThunderCats! Panthro was always my favorite!

The second mouse from the right looks surprisingly similar to Kranxx from SP3:

My Leader-1 Super GoBot got more play time than almost all of my other toys combined.

I still have it and eight other Super GoBots all in their original boxes.

My Super GoBot Leader-1 was the most expensive obtain. most on Ebay are in pretty
bad shape, especially to find one with stiff wings.

another brand would have to be Transformers Generation 2 from 1993 to 1995. that
line came and went quickly and is not desired today. I own an Optimus, Megatron,
Starscream, and Bumblebee all in perfect condition.
