History WesternAnimation / TransformersGoBots

Despite some similarities, this should not be confused with [[WesternAnimation/ChallengeOfTheGoBots Tonka's version of]] [[MachineRobo the Machine Robo franchise]].

* [[BadassDriver Badass Car]]: Speed-Bot
** [[AcePilot Badass Plane]]: Areo-Bot

* ActingForTwo: Several characters share voice actors, due to the ridiculously small (voice) cast.

* FollowTheLeader: This series has a few similarities to ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries'' in its premise (Aliens that are unaware of their own strength, and the leads have to take them to a good place; or in this case, back to Botropolis for more training).

* NamesTheSame: Despite having a jet for a leader (Aero-Bot) and Wang providing the animation, this series bears no resemblance to Creator/HannaBarbera's and Tonka's ''Challenge of the Go-Bots'' in any way, shape or form.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: According to the [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Complete_Go-Bots_Power! TFWiki]], there was going to be a [=BotCon=] exclusive Go-Bot. Unfortunately, due to Hasbro rejecting the coloring book that would have featured it, this never came to be.

* FiveManBand:
** TheHero: Aero-Bot
** TheLancer: Speed-Bot
** TheBigGuy: Strong-Bot and Beast-Bot
** TheSmartGuy: Buzzer-Bot
** TheMentor: The Go-Bot Council
** TheSixthRanger: Hauler-Bot

* OffModel: Not as bad as ''TransformersArmada'' (released at the same time), but still evident.

Unlike most parts of the franchise, this series didn't have a full-length cartoon. Instead four episodes, each 10 minutes long, were produced by Creator/{{Hasbro}} and Taiwanese animation studio Creator/WangFilmProductions[[note]]with their Chinese sub-studio Hong Guang[[/note]] akin to the third ''MyLittlePony'' series. Two of them aired in New York and Chicago only, making the cartoon extremely hard to find... unless you go on Website/YouTube, [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes that is]].

* ThreeShorts: Sort of - The episodes were separate, but were only 10 minutes long. This made it shorter than the average ''Transformers'' episode, which usually (if not always) lasted around 22 minutes.

''Transformers: Go-Bots'' was a series active between 2002 and 2005 as part of the overall ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' franchise. Aimed at preschool children, the series focused upon a team of robots from the city of Botropolis. These robots were sent to Earth to protect it from danger.

* ActingForTwo: Several characters share voice actors, due to the ridiculously small (Voice) cast.

* FollowTheLeader: This series is quite similar to ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries'' in its premise (Aliens that are unaware of their own strength, and the leads have to take them to a good place; or in this case, back to Botropolis for more training).

* NeverSayDie: Surprisingly averted in "Racer-Bot Road Rally", where the word "death" is said at one point.

* SpiritualSuccessor: ''TransformersRescueBots'' is looking to be this. Also serves as this to ''Rescue Heroes'', both having similar themes and art styles.

* UnskilledButStrong: Reptron, considering the damage he makes in his episode

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The first two episodes only came with one of Speed-Bot's figures. The latter two aired on TV in Chicago and New York (as explained above), and only twice, for that matter.

* HeyItsThatVoice: Considering that this series has actors from Creator/TheOceanGroup, this shouldn't be a surprise:
** [[PaulDobson Areo-Bot and Beast-Bot]] are both [[Franchise/{{Bionicle}} Toa Whenua]].
** [[TedCole Speed-Bot]] is [[GundamWing Chang Wufei]].
** Buzzer-Bot and Reptron are [[Manga/DeathNote L]].
** [[Creator/BrianDobson Strong-Bot and Silver-Bot]] are [[WesternAnimation/TransformersArmada Red]] [[TransformersCybertron Alert]].

* NoAntagonist: The problem usually stems from one or more reckless, though still good, Go-Bots unaware that they're causing mayhem. [[IGotBetter They do promise to get better, though.]]
