'''Beast-Bot''' is what you would call a nature-boy. He's capable of communing with any living thing, and his wisdom and patience help him guide the Go-Bots team. He's capable of changing into a wide variety of animal-bots to handle any wild situation he finds himself in.

Unfortunately, these skills were put to ill use when an accident turned him into his villainous alter-ego '''Preditron'''. Far more a danger than the rambunctious and careless young 'bots the Go-Bots are used to dealing with, he's a force (of nature) to be reckoned with!

[[Image:GBBeastBotTransforming.jpg|left|thumb|Now with a fresh lavender scent!]]

Beast-Bot was the wildest of the Go-Bots in [[Botropolis]], and therefore(?!) selected as one of the Go-Bot Protectors assigned to protect [[Earth]]. When [[Silver-Bot]] visited the planet, Beast-Bot and [[Buzzer-Bot]] monitored events from the [[Go-Pod]]. {{storylink|Typhoon Twister}} Beast-Bot got to go on his first mission when [[Mototron]] damaged an oil pipeline in the snowy north. He used his gorilla form to gather up the fallen pipes, and also to rescue [[Kid-Bot]] and [[Gas-Bot]], who'd stowed away in [[Speed-Bot]]'s trunk. Once [[Aero-Bot]] dragged an [[oil tanker]] up the mountain, Beast-Bot redirected the leaking oil into it. {{storylink|Arctic Oil Spill}}

[[Reptron (Go-Bots)|Reptron]]'s arrival in a jungle area meant that Beast-Bot and Buzzer-Bot were prime choices to deal with him. Beast-Bot prevented a rock dislodged by the renegade Go-Bot from hitting some human explorers. Reptron went on to challenge Beast-Bot to a race. Beast-Bot accepted on the condition that if he won, Reptron would agree to leave Earth. The pair dashed through an ancient temple, dodging trap after trap, but Reptron ended up falling short before they reached the other side. After rescuing Reptron from a net, Beast-Bot finished the race, and his rival agreed to return to Botropolis. {{storylink|Reptron's Rampage}}

The [[Botropolis High Council]] sent Beast-Bot on a top-secret month-long mission. He was therefore absent when the rest of the Protectors were awarded [[Go-Shield]]s. {{storylink|Racer-Bot Road Rally}}

===Toy bios===
He has the ability to take on the animal forms of his local environment, and has the power to communicate with all living things. {{storylink|#Playskool Go-Bots|Beast-Bot Mission: Earth}}

Originally called Gorillabot, he defended [[Earth]] from evil-doers with his amazing strength and intelligence, and his jet-engine backpack allowed him to travel at warp speed! {{storylink|#Playskool Big Adventures|Gorillabot}} Later changing his name to Beast-Bot, he took on a panther alt mode so he could give himself an extra burst of speed to hunt down trouble. {{storylink|#Playskool Go-Bots|Beast-Bot II}} He later took ape form again, and then later dinosaur form.

Unfortunately, an accident turned him into the evil wolf Preditron! Smart and operating across the galaxy, he was the Go-Bots' greatest menace! [[Strong-Bot]], [[Buzzer-Bot]], and [[Speed-Bot]] took up the challenge of returning Preditron to normal, with [[Aero-Bot]] leading the mission and the team.

* '''Gorillabot''' (Basic Go-Bot, 2002)

: Part of the very first assortment of "[[Transformers: Go-Bots (toyline)|Playskool Big Adventures]]", "Gorillabot" transforms in a blue, purple and gray robo-gorilla in a single-ish step.

: This mold was [[redeco]]ed into [[Max (Go-Bots)|Max]] in Japan, then as just plain "Beast-Bot", and finally as [[Gorilla-Bot]] (who is almost certainly a different character—see Notes).

* '''Beast-Bot II''' (Basic Go-Bot, 2002)

: A blue, grey, and purple redeco of ''Big Adventures'' [[Cheetor (Go-Bots)|Cheetor]], the bot now known as Beast-Bot now turns into what is presumably a panther of some kind.

: This mold was also used to make [[Tigertron]], Takara's ''Rescue Hero Go-Bots'' [[Chuck (Go-Bots)|Chuck]] and [[George (Go-Bots)|George]], and [[retool]]ed to make Beast-Bot's alter-ego Preditron (see below).

{{-}}{{anchor|MEgorilla}}
* '''Beast-Bot''' (Mission: Earth, 2003)

: A redeco of Gorillabot, presumably done because this is the form he usually used in the cartoon. The toys look almost identical at a glance, but there are numerous minor differences in the [[Paint operation|paint applications]], with the obvious change being a blue (instead of red) gorilla head.

: Another blue, grey, and purple redeco, this time of "Invisibilty Force" [[Reptron (Go-Bots)|Reptron]] (who was in turn slightly retooled from the original Reptron mold).

: This mold was also used to make [[Dino-Bot]] and [[Greg (Go-Bots)|Greg]].

* '''Preditron''' (Invisibility Force, 2004)

: The first true Go-Bots villain, and he doesn't even get to be a new character! Beast-Bot's "unruly" alter-ego is a heavy retooling of ''Big Adventures'' Cheetor, as a clear-blue, black, and orange wolf. Mold modifications include new beast and robot heads, new tail, and slight alterations to the pins holding his torso together.

==Notes==
* Given the stance of his gorilla form, proximate release to [[Cheetor (Go-Bots)|Cheetor]], and a bio that describes his robot mode's "jet-engine backpack", the original Gorillabot seems to have been based on the ''Beast Machines'' incarnation of [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]].
* It seems safe to say that the original Gorillabot is indeed the same character as Beast-Bot: given that the Beast-Bot II toy was released long before any toy named simply "Beast-Bot", one can assume that Hasbro considered Gorillabot to be the first Beast-Bot toy. Oh yeah, and there's the fact that Beast-Bot's cartoon model uses the color scheme from the Gorillabot toy. "Gorilla-Bot", on the other hand, is likely a completely different guy, given his more mischievous [[Bio|bio card]] characterization.

[[File:Hideousgiantbrainguy.jpg|upright=6666666666666|thumb|I won't pay a lot for this muffler!]]
The '''hideous giant brain guy''' is one of many beings, native and otherwise, who enjoyed the brief rebirth of gladiatorial combat on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] under the aegis of the alien criminal [[Zabra]]. He is mainly noteworthy because, seriously, what the hell.

==Fiction==
===Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics===
{{noteukexclusive|The hideous giant brain guy}}
The hideous giant brain guy attended the "games" at the [[Jekka Amphitheatre]] in [[Tyrest]] on the day of [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Ultra Magnus]]'s bout against the alien [[Hooligan (G1)|Hooligan]]. He was last seen asking a souvenir salesman about the price of a foot belonging to a defeated combatant. Presumably, when Magnus defeated Zabra and shut down the games, he found something else to do. {{storylink|Deadly Games!}}

He wears a Decepticon tattoo on his frontal lobes. Now ''that's'' a fanboy.

===''Animated'' cartoon===
The hideous giant brain guy was a playable character named '''HGBG''' in ''[[Ninja Gladiator]]''. He could use his "Ego Whip" to attack. {{Storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II}}
