Poor-Man's Transformer
noun (slang):
1) A Go-Bot
2) aka: GoBot
3) A Ghetto-Transformer
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).
