Did you get a signal yet? I need to see what happens next onAs the Kitchen Sinks!

You either loveGoob Toob,or you hate Goob Toob. If you hate him, then that's because you think he's going to kill your brain cells. However, his screen has been stuck on the same "program" for a long time. That "program" happens to be a show about four blocks of color that don't do anything and is called "Technical Difficulties".

Notes

  • Goob Toob is the "example" character used for the "2 MODES" demonstration illustration on the Techie Team's cardfront.
  • Goob Toob's name comes from the term "boob tube", a US slang term for a television.
  • Goob Toob's not the firstTransformerto have an antenna-topped television as hisalternate mode.That honor goes toGogglebox,who shares Goob Toob's four-color test screen pattern. However, Goob Toob's the first one to get a toy.
  • Goob Toob's stock artwork shows his face in robot mode as a visor then the TV screen. It also includes an orange and second blue color bar for a total of six bars, versus four in TV mode. His power button also is blue in the art instead of red on the final figure.
