What is Poor-man's Transformer?
1.
noun (slang):
1) A
2) aka:
3) A
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).
