- Goob Toob is a member of the Techie Team from BotBots.
You either love Goob 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".

- Level: 2 Star
- Part of the first Series of BotBots, Goob Toob transforms from a 1-inch tall robot to an antenna TV with a technical difficulties screen.
- Goob Toob was available in one of the "Greaser Gang" 8-packs, packaged with Angry Cheese, Batsby, Fottle Barts, Sippy Slurps, Sticky McGee, Venus Frogtrap, and Lost Bot Clogstopper.
- This mold was also used to make TV Cop, Yule B. Bored, and Telly.
This pack is a "recommended minimum buy" for a complete set of Series 1 BotBots.
- Jock Squad (8-pack, 2018)
- Series: 1
- Level: 2 Star
- Goob Toob was also available in one of the "Jock Squad" 8-packs, along with Fit Ness Monster, Fottle Barts, Grit Sandwood, Laceface, Nrjeez, Point Dexter, and Lost Bot Clogstopper.
This pack is a possible "recommended minimum buy" for a complete set of Series 1 BotBots. Grit Sandwood is the only BotBot needed in that pack, but he also appears in another Jock Squad pack where he is also the only BotBot needed in that pack. Yeah it means a bunch of redundant Bots either way, sorry!
