A person who acts like a cheap imitation of a genuine person. Derived from the popularity of the cheap and easily breakable gobot action figures (rip-offs of the original transformers)

when you've done something so cringe you can't stop replaying it in your head and it stops you from getting on with your every day life

noun:

1) The Poor-Man's Transformer

2) A Ghetto-Transformer

3) 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 each time just to transform a Go-bot!
They were much simpler and tougher.

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 original transforming robots (Before transformers!)
Released 1984.
