Transformers are way better than Gobots

Speaking as someone that had Gobots (or Robo-Machines, as they were called at the time), and also had Pathfinder, that's a weird choice to bring back.

Surely Turbo, Cy-Kill, Leader 1, Scooter, the blue futurist tank, etc. would be a better option?

I'm guessing these figures were easy to do. These versions of Pathfinder, Smallfoot, and Treds. Are just recolours of Cosmos, Warpath, and Gears. I'm not quite sure how it's explained in the lore. However these are actual Transformers that jumped into the Go Bots dimension. The Go Bots that actually carry the names look a lot different to these new figures.

I think Hasbro are testing the waters with this release.

Cykill, Turbo , and Leader 1 are iconic characters that would deserve their own moulds. That'd require a large investment on the manufacturing side. There is also a rights issue. Hasbro don't own the IP for the Go Bots figures. Bandai have that, and the line is still active in Japan.
