	''[[1-2-3 Transformers]]'' is a small, fictionless toyline released by [[Hasbro]] under the [[Tonka]] brand in 2001. It lasted until 2002, when its formula was continued with the ''Go-Bots'' line that was released later that year.

	''[[Transformers: Go-Bots (franchise)\|Transformers: Go-Bots]]'' is a franchise that was marketed from 2002 to 2005. It was released by Hasbro under the [[Playskool]] brand and went through four different identities during its lifetime. It was known as ''Playskool Big Adventures: Transformers'' at its kick-off in 2002. In 2003, the line continued as ''Transformers: Go-Bots'', but the "''Transformers''" part was dropped later that year. Under the name ''Go-Bots'', the line entered 2004 and remained so for a few months. Then the line became ''Transformers: Go-Bots'' again, but with a different [[logo]] than the previous time it was called such. To make matters even more confusing, a few toys were produced for the ''Go-Bots'' line in 2004, but were not released at the time for unknown reasons. They were eventually released in ''Go-Bots'' packaging in 2005 in [[Europe]], when ''Transformers: Go-Bots'' had already ended in the [[United States of America\|USA]].

{{noname-nickname}}
The '''Go-Bots continuity family''' is a [[continuity family]] that was, depending on how you look at it, launched in either 2001 or 2002. It consists of [[franchise]]s that were specifically aimed at children of preschool age, which back then hadn't been done since the 1993 third release of the ''[[First Transformers]]'' line. Because the continuity family's franchises were not aimed at the usual ''Transformers'' audience, they do not feature the characteristics common to other ''Transformers'' lines, such as [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], [[Autobot]]s, [[Decepticon]]s and [[Cybertronian Civil Wars|civil wars]]. Instead, the protagonists are the [[Go-Bot (species)|Go-Bots]], a [[Transformation|transforming]] robotic species (sometimes) native to a [[Botropolis|comet]]. There are no true antagonists or a central conflict. Instead, the Go-Bots help out with various little and not-so-little problems on [[Earth]] because it makes them feel good about themselves.
