Go-Bot Path Finder [Go-Bots Guardian 3-Pack]

Rounding out our look at the Go-Bot Guardian 3-Pack is Path Finder, whom is also based on the e-Hobby Path Finder. Like that toy, Path Finder uses a Cosmos toy in an unreleased deco. This time Path Finder is made from the excellent Legacy mold from the Velocitron Speedia 500 Collection. I liked that toy quite a lot and can honestly say that Path Finder is one of the few characters that every toy of is a good one. From her original Gobots toy to the Transformers releases, all are quality. It doesn't hurt that I've always liked Cosmos in fairness. If you're not a fan of repaints, this isn't going to be your cup of tea as Path Finder is basically a blue Cosmos. For those whom had a problem tracking down the original toy, this is a nice option.  Not to mention, the blue looks good on Cosmos. It's something very simple that makes for a big change. 

Path Finder still has Cosmo's flag/gun. That's a holdover from the Velocitron Speedia 500 toy that I wonder will be reused in every instance of this mold going forward. It made sense in the Velocitron series... but just seems a little ridiculous outside of that. Thankfully, Path Finder's flag is proudly displaying a Guardian symbol. It's admittedly silly, but I enjoy seeing Gobots symbols being used. As Path Finder, however, I've mainly chosen for her to wield the blaster as is with a flag hanging off it. Why not, right? Like I've said, Hasbro has released other Gobots in Transformers before. This set is the first time they've outright used the name Gobots. Not just the name, but the logo and symbols.

I really hope it's the beginning of more Gobots in Transformers or even as a stand alone. With Challenge of the Gobots airing in MeTV Toons and on Cartoon Rewind, there's bound to be a new audience for these classic characters. Toys like Path Finder and the other 3 from this are great homages to a cool exclusive set from 20 years ago that itself was a fun throwback. Obviously I love Gobots and welcome a renaissance... but maybe it's just what the robot world needs right now.
