![]() In an interview ahead of the release of GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords, Jeff Segal claimed the idea for the Rock Lords had come from his script and only after that did Tonka decide to make toys of the characters, but this seems incredibly unlikely. Which release came first is currently unknown, with the answer most likely some combination of "neither" and "does it matter?". In Japan itself the figures were released as part of Machine Robo in North America, Tonka decided to release them as a standalone line which did not mention GoBots anywhere on the packaging. Unlike GoBots the Japanese company featured a clear shout-out on the packaging, with their logo on the cardbacks. The Rock Lords toys were designed by Tonka in conjunction with Bandai, though whether the American company did more than commission the figures is unknown. But give them a single purpose-destroying good rocks-and they become an awesome fighting force.Sentient polymorphic rocks! They're here to hollow out the planet! They're constantly at odds with each other. "Sticks 'n Stones are living proof that two heads are worse than one. Weapon: -Cactus Club (Sticks) Double Duty Mace (Stones (right side)) NOTE: only weapon was this mace. Anthracite (coal) and Magnetite: a dangerous combonation of minerals that causes sparks A good battle will make his day as he rushes heedlessly at the enemy swinging The Reaper wildly and laughing at his foes as they retreat from the twirling scythe. This evil warrior cares about only one thing: destrying good rocks! The last thing Tombstone wants to hear about this peace. Quartz: Flashes with a wicked glint as he goes about his deadly chores. Weilding his Ax-Rifle with deadly accuracy, he assaults foes scattering rocks and pebbles as he goes." Magamr lives to conquer the rock planet Quartex. His domineering personality and physical strength make him a fearful presence to all but the most brave. "Magmar is the most cunning and evil-minded of the Rock Lords. Igneous: formed of molten lava that reflects his fiery emotions. Nuggits Tri-Gun does triple duty: the top barrel hypnotizes the second barrel paralyzes the third barrel revives the unlucky victim for questioning." Nuggit is very proud of his shiny finish. "Though he's a robot, Nuggit is worth his weight in gold! He's smaller than the other rock warriors but brave and bold beyond his size. Golden: a shiny, metalic finish that covers his robotic circuitry. But put him in the thick of the fight and he's one of the most fearsome combanatns on the battlefield.ĭespite its ordinary appearance, the T-Gun's shiny bullets will pierce anything and that's enough to send any evil rock running for cover!" "A happy-go-lucky rock with a ready laugh, Granite is truly a "gentale giant". Silvery: A tough-as-nails composition that reflects his strength and determination. In the heart of the battle, he scatters enemies with stungun blasts and zaps them with his Power Sword." His fiery temper strikes fear into friend and foe alike. Boulder has rallied the remaining free kingdoms of the planet under his leadership. ![]() ![]() ![]() "Brave and wise with a awesome physique, Boulder leads the defense of Quartex against Magmar's villianous plots. Tungsten: among the toughest of all minerals, it shows durability and resolve. This Black weapon may have been release in North America as well. The only example I have been told of is that there is a Red and Black weapon for Nugget. Varaitions: It seems that weapons from Eurpoean (possibly other countries as well) are of a different color. Does Nuggit represent Bumblebee almost?įun Fact: It is quite strange that the weapons the Rocklords had in the Go-Bots Movie are different than what the toys have. The Go-Bots movie was the begining and the end of their appearnce other than toys, which seem to do better than the movie. Each Figure came with a Weapon and a Mini Comic about the charachter you bought. The figures also do a extremely well job of representing the charchters and likeness's on the show. These are well detailed and very poseable comapred to the "Transforming" toys of the time. From this point on the whole movie continues with the battle of Renegade's (who followed the Guardians to Rocklord home world) fighting the Gurdians. Solitare leads her new found friends to her home planet. The Go-Bots movie plot runs thin as the Guardians learn of the Rocklords by the Jewel Lords Solitare who with Nugget have come to Gobotron. It all started for Rocklords after the Go-Bots movie. ![]()
