12	''Franchise/{{Transformers}}: Go-Bots'' was a series active between 2002 and 2005 as part of Hasbro's overall franchise. Aimed at preschool-aged children, it focused upon a team of robots from the city of Botropolis. These transforming robots whose home territory is a city that rests on a comet were sent to Earth as small teams to protect it from danger.

14	Unlike most parts of the franchise, this series didn't have a full-length cartoon. Instead, a four-episode (each being 10 minutes) mini-series was produced by Creator/{{Hasbro}} and Taiwanese animation studio Creator/WangFilmProductions[[note]]with their Chinese sub-studio Hong Guang[[/note]] akin to the third ''WesternAnimation/{{My Little Pony\|G3}}'' series. Two of them aired in New York and Chicago only, which makes the cartoon extremely hard to find [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes unless you go on]] Website/YouTube.

16	The toyline itself was distributed through Hasbro's Playskool subsidiary, consisting of chunky-looking robots that had (at first) rather quick transformation schemes. As such, they were marketed like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBmvKjRvUbU so]].

18	Despite the name, it should not be confused with Tonka's [[WesternAnimation/ChallengeOfTheGoBots adaptation]] of ''Toys/MachineRobo''.
19	----
20	!! This direct-to-video mini-series exhibits the following:
21
22	* AdaptationalHeroism: Buzzer-Bot is a less-than-subtle {{Expy}} of [[WesternAnimation/BeastWars Waspinator]], despite being one of the main heroes.
23	* CatchPhrase: "Go Go Go-Bots!" Don't forget "Go Go Go-Brillium!"
24	* CombiningMecha: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qjt1bbhIUYI A Hauler-Bot is what you see but can change it into three!]]
25	* CoolCar: Speed-Bot, Mototron and the Racer-Bot Twins, Racer-Bots ALPHA and BETA.
26	* DrivesLikeCrazy: The Racer-Bot Twins and Mototron.
27	* FourFingeredHands: Aero-Bot (on [[OffModel occasions]]), Silver-Bot, Speed-Bot, and Kid-Bot.
28	* [[MidSeasonUpgrade Last Episode Upgrade]]: Go-Brillium.
29	* MerchandiseDriven: It is ''Transformers'', after all.
30	* NeverSayDie: Surprisingly averted in "Racer-Bot Road Rally", where the word "death" ''is'' said at one point in reference to Aero-Bot saving a racer from falling off a cliff.
31	* NoAntagonist: The problem usually stems from one or more reckless, though still good, Go-Bots unaware that they're causing mayhem. They do promise to get better, though.
32	* OddballInTheSeries: Outside of the fact the robots are called “Go-Bots” and not “Transformers”. This series features an entirely original cast of characters rather than the traditional Autobots and the Go-Bots hail from the city on a comet known as Botropolis rather then the metallic world of Cybertron. It’s also the only ''Transformers'' series without a proper BigBad.
33	* OpeningNarration: Done by the ''Armada'' narrator.
34	* ShoutOut: There's a character named [[WesternAnimation/BeastWars Cheetor]] in the toyline, and Beast-Bot's gorilla form resembles that of Optimus Primal in ''WesternAnimation/BeastMachines''.
35	* SpiritualSuccessor: ''WesternAnimation/TransformersRescueBots'' is looking to be this. It also serves as this to ''WesternAnimation/RescueHeroes'', as both have similar themes and art styles.
36	* ThreeShorts: Sort of - The episodes ''were'' separate, but only 10 minutes long. This made it shorter than the average ''Transformers'' episode, which usually (if not always) lasted around 22 minutes.
37	* UnskilledButStrong: Reptron, considering the damage he makes in his episode, "Reptron's Rampage".
38	* VerbalTic: Buzzer-Bot has electronic sound effects peppered into his speech.
39	* TheVoiceless[=/=]TheUnintelligible: Kid-Bot and Gas-Bot, voiced only with vocal effects.
