| 1. | Poor-Man's Transformer | ||
|
noun (slang):
1) A Go-Bot 2) aka: GoBot 3) A Ghetto-Transformer 4) Children's toy (vehicle) that turned into a robot (well, sort-of) by means of a few simple twists, smaller and less expensive than a Transformer (heck, even the Go-bot Cartoon show was cheaper and cheeseier than the Transformer's Cartoon, notice there's no Go-bots movie),BUT at least you didn't need to read the instructions just to transform a Go-bot! 4) Probably the coolest toy of the it's time (20 years ago or so). If you were really poor like me, your Go-bot was a rock or a stick, which you had to pretend turned into a robot or something. "The Go-bot is the Poor-Man's Transformer."
(Just as Anthony Hopkins in the Poor-man's Dennis Hopper; the former being a cheaper, less-inspired, and generally far less desirable version of the latter). |
