So back in the early 80s there were a number of transforming toylines in Japan and Korea. US toy company Tonka headed over and talked with Bandai. They got the rights to license their Machine Robo toys for the west. At first they marketed them as is, and sales were poor. They changed the name to Machine Men, but much the same happened. Then they went a totally different direction and split the figures into two factions (Guardians and Renegades), appointed a figure to each as leader, gave them all new names, and developed a story tie-in with a comic. Thus the GoBots were born.

Meanwhile Hasbro saw what they were doing and headed east as well. They spoke with Takara to license their Diaclone and Micro Change lines, Bandai for their valkyrie jet, and ToyCo for their Astro Magnum. They teamed up with Marvel and split the figures into two factions (Autobots and Decepticons), leaders, new names, story and comic, etc. The Transformers were born.

Tonka then worked with Hanna-Barbera to produce a cartoon they titled Challenge of the GoBots. Hasbro continued to work with Marvel along with Sunbow and Toei (among other studios) to create their animated series. Challenge of the GoBots premiered on September 8, 1984 and The Transformers on September 17. Both began with a mini-series to test the waters, and then started up proper in October.

Both brands later had a theatrical film in 1986. GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords came out on March 21 with Transformers: The Movie hitting August 8. Battle of the Rock Lords sadly retained the same budget as the televised cartoon. Same look, same music. They had 3 celebrities come in to voice new characters. Margot Kidder as Solitaire, Roddy McDowall as Nuggit, and Telly Savalas as Magmar. The movie was meant to premier the Rock Lords for a new toyline and spin-off cartoon. While the toys did hit stores the cartoon never came to be.

Transformers on the other hand had a much bigger budget with an amazing soundtrack, and Toei putting out some of their best animation. Celebrity voices included Judd Nelson as Hotrod, Leonard Nimoy as Galvatron, Eric Idle as Wreck-Gar, Robert Stack as Ultra Magnus, and Lionel Stander as Kup. The movie acted as a bridge to the third season of the cartoon, and staple actors from the show would take over the celebrity roles from then on.

Overall GoBots had 65 episodes over 1 season while Transformers had 98 over 4 seasons. The G1 Transformers brand would continue in Japan with 6 more seasons (3 of which were told through magazine), while GoBots faded away. In 1991 Hasbro bought out Tonka and obtained the GoBots characters along with it. The G2 line from 1993 had a Go-Bots sub line. There was a figure simply named Gobots which was marketed in Europe, and since then there have been a number of figures sold through Transformers as an homage to GoBots, and some of the characters have appeared in the comics in some form as well.

Cat poop is just another thing to scavenge and eat. While you might think cat poop smells gross, it probably smells like cat food to your dog. Since normal cat food appeals to a dog's sense of smell, and many dogs love to eat cat food, this is one of the reasons why they're often ready to snack out of the litter box. - Google search

I've been using Adblocker For Youtube for some time now and it's never let me down.

That depends on whether it's a Winter cold or a damp cold.

Damp between 10-15c/50-60f has me shivering. Winter under the same is pretty cold. Wind chills for both are the worst.

So to break it down if she was contagious last night and you contracted it you'll start showing symptoms on Sunday (next Tuesday at latest), unless your body beats it.

Some of my dad's best advice was the "5 day rule". Essentially when you contract germs it takes up to 5 days (7 at most if you have a good immune system), before you begin showing symptoms. However on day 4 you become contagious. It's within those 4-6 days your body has to naturally fight the infection off before it takes hold.

I looked back on this for years when I got sick and it always worked. For one example I recall working one day in a grocery store aisle when a woman about 5-10ft away began coughing and wasn't covering her mouth. I walked away for a moment but had to get back at it. I had a trip coming up but had the feeling I'd get sick. Low and behold just 5 days later I started showing symptoms. Good thing I was taking echinacea pills prior to as it helped reduce them.

Regarding those options I'd say Japan.

All the MM1 RMs, Shadow, MM6's, Burst, Cloud, Freeze, Shade, Clown, Tengu, Astro, Aqua, Cold, Burner, Magic, Dynamo, and all from 11 were reprogrammed by Wily.

All from MM2, MM5, Junk, Slash, Spring, Turbo, Grenade, Frost, Search, Sword, Pirate, and Ground were created by Wily.

MM3's remaining seven were made by both Light and Wily.

MM4's were made by Cossack.

Wily fooled MM9's into doing his dirty work and blamed it on Light.

and 10's went mad from Wily's Roboenza.

Either a cold or a mild case of the flu (as I had gotten my shot the month prior).
