HOLY CRAP! That is scary....I always wondered how toys for that cartoon would look...and now sadly...I know. lol I don't think I ever ran across any of the Go-Bot model kits growing up. Transforming models sound kinda cool...but I would have had it broken in seconds after building it. ^_^ Thanks for the look.
That actually didnt look too bad....it kinda reminded me of animorphs,lol. If the plastic were better and it had a robot head, it wouldve actually been a pretty nifty robot. Glad you did this vid. Thank you :)
Wow. Favorited and loved this review. The cartoon was nearly as bad as this toy. Let me know if you ever run into another one. This thing is epically failing and winning at the same time!!!! A were-car LOL!!!!
Thanks for the video. I collect turbo teen items. Big fan since the cartoon. I have some of the cartoons , coloring book snd about to have this model. I'm not sure if I want to open it or leave as is. But I enjoyed this . I love old toys and the rack toys from my childhood ( JA RU , Laramie, fleet wood ... LJN.. Etc
So, technically, it's a red car that can basically be a G1 Sideswipe bootleg with a human head replacing the robot one? Then again, there is no way any toy company can make a Turbo Teen action figure that is show accurate while also transforming, as it would just be impossible to do.
I havent watched the vid yet. Gonna do it later to save my phones battery. But TurboTeen anything is got to be fantastic! Lol. I'll be chiming in in a bit
I grew up watching this and never knew they had this horrible toy. OMG! this has made my day, as I have also found myself creeped out by the actual turbo teen premise, now that I am an adult. LOL. Kuzzah!
Turbo teen... Wow haven't really thought of that in ages... This would make an awesome "KITT transforms into Micheal Knight" as well. Too bad about the head being un-painted.
Did you see the one where he bought a green jacket and became a Gremlin instead? Or the series closer, where he figured out how to change into a Pinto and died of an ass-plosion? :)
Not identical as the cartoon but they did attempt to market the show. The big difference from the cartoon is the car did not have the Phoenix nor was it a solid top as it was targa top. It would have been great to have it next to my K.I.T.T. model.
Turbo Teen thought his powers were cool. But I could see where his powers could become a hazard and a problem. He could not take a hot shower because he might transform in the shower. or sit in the hot tub for he might transform and crush everyone when he expands.
@mantis999999999 but.. he already looks kinda like the hoff... glad I came back that painted head helps sell just how epically rediculous this is. I don't remember turbo teen creeping me out as a child. as an adult... man that's just kind of wrong. lol I don't suppose you recall a live action show with a talking dune buggy? been looking for it but can't remember it's name.....
Cant say I have heard of Turbo Teen, but this model kit looks so much like a knockoff its hard to really tell the difference. A shame the head is unpainted though.
You know.... As a trans-am with a little paint.. It's not so bad.. Heck even as a robot it's passable for the 80s..... But a robot with a human head.. wtf...
HOLY CRAP!

What a piece of trash. I want one SO badly.
Nooo! The RESALE VALUE™ of $3.22!!
Amazing! Like a fever dream!
Crazy right?! Thanks for checking it out.

The head reminds me of David Hasselhoff for some reason.
Well Turbo Teen is a Cartoon version of Knight Rider.
Holy shit!! Thanks for the review, totally forgot about this wonderful-abomination! :D

Remember seeing this in the store back then. Even as a kid I thought it looked moronic.
AWSOME WRONGNESS!! Thank you so much for bringing my attention to this amazingly bad bot! lmfao!!
Yeah I think I remember the toy modle along with the tranformers and Ramrod (of the Star Ship Shireffs).
Gobots is the funny version of transformers.
I grew up watching this and never knew they had this horrible toy. OMG! this has made my day, as I have also found myself creeped out by the actual turbo teen premise, now that I am an adult. LOL. Kuzzah!
I can smell the quality of that plastic through the airwaves that constitute internet communications. Now I will go take a shower. Peace Mantis.
Yeah, you'd think they would of made Brett's head a little larger then that.
Turbo teen... Wow haven't really thought of that in ages... This would make an awesome "KITT transforms into Micheal Knight" as well. Too bad about the head being un-painted.
I was on the way out to work. I'll check the end tonight.
Did they ever released the series on DVD or Blu-ray?
Are you trying to punish yourself for some heinous crime? WHAT DID YOU DO TO DESERVE THIS? It reminds me of Classics Hotrod.
This is great!
I truly wish I had one.
The modern Pandora's box
The robot chicken skit brought me here
Is it just me or is the sound of the parts scraping against one another, pre-build, irritating to anyone else?
No, it IS irritating. The plastic they used is unbelievable horrible.
I bet the Turbo Teen creators wish they asked the Transformers people to do this.
Yay transformers
The concept for this toy was all wrong… he wasn’t a car who turned into a robot he was a human boy who turned into a car.
@@Yaw-e2c very true!
Did you see the one where he bought a green jacket and became a Gremlin instead? Or the series closer, where he figured out how to change into a Pinto and died of an ass-plosion? :)
wow how much did that cost ? and really no glue but u need to use screws ? and i though the head would be bigger lol
Turbo teen = knight rider
Trans am Firebird red=trans am Firebird black
Dan, you magnificent bastard! How they hanging? Like Devastator's in a Michael Bay film?
RowdyRodimus you know it! swinging in the breeze!

It would have been great to have it next to my K.I.T.T. model.
So how much does a kit like this run nowadays?
if transformers made a trans am robot id go buy it now
that was quite an oddity, never knew this existed, turbo teen and go bots somewhat crossing over, how terrifying.
Turbo Teen thought his powers were cool. But I could see where his powers could become a hazard and a problem. He could not take a hot shower because he might transform in the shower. or sit in the hot tub for he might transform and crush everyone when he expands.
what were they smoking

I don't suppose you recall a live action show with a talking dune buggy? been looking for it but can't remember it's name.....
I wish to have the turbo tren toy please.
@Mattersmasher Woah, just typed that a fraction before you showed Hotrod on screen!

You know.... As a trans-am with a little paint.. It's not so bad.. Heck even as a robot it's passable for the 80s.....
But a robot with a human head.. wtf...
Holy. Machine Robo Turbo is a LOT better than this. Ppl who see this will think Turbo sucks.
This just scary to me lol.
Robocop?
It's a shame to see the amazing Trans-Am Gobots kit reproduced in this form. Thankfully, though, this is the only Turbo Teen merchandise ever made.
@mantis999999999 I think it does lol.
I would ask for my money back
That is not Turbo Teen 🤣🤣🤣🤣
an autobot soide
Mecard
looks fragile...
Buuuuuuu
