(Starting over)
So Gobot reboot concept. Updated and focused on how to distinguish it from Transformers.
Toy wise, Hasbro could simply make it a TF subline, but storywise it focuses on the science fiction elements more than TF. TF when it goes any deeper than just typical action, then it goes into mysticism and spirituality.
Unlike TF, the original Gobots were human-like aliens who eventually put their brains into giant transforming war machines. Everything else is largely the same.
So the problem is, how to reboot gobots without seeming like just a clone of TF, especially when Hasbro has trouble making new TF series that aren't retreading the same ground over and over.
Well, focus on the scifi.
So I present to you:
Rise of the Renegades
Eons ago, Gobotron was a society much like our own. Peace, love, hate, war, hunger, poverty, curiosity, all the same strengths and flaws. All the same hopes and fears.
However, as their society grew, and their technology advanced, they reached The Singularity. The point where man and machine became one. They achieved immortality by uploading their consciousness into computer mainframes, which can then download into robotic bodies when they need.
They realized so many of the flaws of society were pointless. Hunger is eliminated. War is meaningless. Money is useless.
They set their sights on the stars, and spend thousands of years peacefully exploring the galaxy. Resolving conflicts. Secretly aiding developing cultures.
But not all Gobotronians feel this way. Some feel the Gobotronians should be Emperors, not mediators.
A small band of these Renegades break away and end up going to ground on a backwater planet called Earth, after crashing in a town called Roswell.
The rebel leader makes a deal with the Government, and begins sharing technology, and is eventually set up with a covert government organization in Groomlake Nevada.
Cy-Kill (as the humans call him) though has a goal all his own. Advance human technology to the point where he can create an army and conquer Gobotron.
But have the Guardians arrived on Earth too late? Can they stop the Renegades?
