	'''Speed-Bot''' is the fastest of all the Go-Bots, and can take on a wide variety of lightning-fast vehicle forms. His incredible quickness is both his greatest strength ''and'' his greatest weakness, as this young 'Bot has a tendency to jump into action before completely thinking things through.

	Speed-Bot was chosen by the [[Botropolis High Council\|High Council]] as "the fastest" of the available Go-Bots to join the Earth's Go-Bot Team on their mission to help [[Earth]]. After [[Silver-Bot]] came to Earth as well and began causing chaos near a tropical island, [[Aero-Bot]] selected Speed-Bot and [[Strong-Bot]] to help rein in the newbie. Speed-Bot busied himself towing no less than five buses full of people from a stricken cruise ship along the sea-side. He was brought to a halt by trees inadvertently by Silver-Bot, and came under further threat when the trees caught alight. Aero-Bot rescued Speed-Bot by putting out the fire and clearing the obstruction. Speed-Bot successfully reached a cave Strong-Bot had made, and dropped off the humans before helping Aero-Bot stall a tornado and bring Silver-Bot under control. {{storylink\|Typhoon Twister}}		Speed-Bot was chosen by the [[Botropolis High Council\|High Council]] as "the fastest" of the available Go-Bots to join the Earth's Go-Bot Team on their mission to help [[Earth]].

	Another Go-Bot rookie, [[Mototron]], whom Speed-Bot recognised from training courses back on [[Botropolis]], appeared on Earth and broke an oil pipeline. [[Beast-Bot]] and Speed-Bot were selected to accompany Aero-Bot to the frozen north to help clean up the mess. The pair began gathering the fallen pipes, however they soon discovered that [[Kid-Bot]] and [[Gas-Bot]] had stowed away in Speed-Bot's trunk. After Mototron unsuccessfully challenged Speed-Bot to a race, the two youngsters followed the renegade into an abandoned mine, and Speed-Bot was forced to follow them in. After rescuing them from a cave-in, he escaped the collapsing mine and had to pull Mototron out of the rubble with his tow line. {{storylink\|Arctic Oil Spill}}		Another Go-Bot rookie, [[Mototron]], whom Speed-Bot recognised from training courses back on [[Botropolis]], appeared on Earth and broke an oil pipeline.

	Speed-Bot and the rest of the Protectors were awarded the [[Go-Shield]] for their sterling work, but a short time later were informed that [[Racer-Bot ALPHA]] and [[Racer-Bot BETA]], test subjects for [[Go-Brillium]], had gone rogue and were headed for Earth. Aero-Bot and Speed-Bot were joined by [[Hauler-Bot]], who infused them both with Go-Brillium for the mission. Speed-Bot was soon making use of his new powers to lead racers in the [[Rattlesnake 500 Desert Road Rally]] to safety. After the trio managed to save the Racer-Bot twins from plummeting to their doom, the two rookies agreed to return to Botropolis to resume their training. {{storylink\|Racer-Bot Road Rally}}		Speed-Bot and the rest of the Protectors were awarded the [[Go-Shield]] for their sterling work, but a short time later were informed that [[Racer-Bot ALPHA]] and [[Racer-Bot BETA]], test subjects for [[Go-Brillium]], had gone rogue and were headed for Earth.
