Go-Bots is a five-issue comic mini-series released by IDW Publishing in 2018 to 2019, written, drawn, colored, and lettered by visionary creator Tom Scioli, that re-imagines the long-dormant GoBots franchise in wild new ways.

Transformers connections
[edit]Having previously reinterpreted Transformers in the pages of Transformers vs. G.I. Joe, Scioli brought his pen to the franchise's one-time rival, GoBots. Scioli's series recast the alien cyborgs as mechanical servants created by humans on Earth—servants that ended up rising up against their masters and creating a new world, Gobotron.
While initially seeming to be standalone, without the connections to Transformers previous media made, the final issue of Go-Bots saw the newly peaceful Gobotron taking off to create a multiverse's worth of new planets, while Road Ranger and Bug Bite set about creating "optimized" successors to themselves—and the remains of the deceased Cy-Kill and Leader-1 are repaired and combined into a familiar-looking red, grey and blue jet. Though never stated outright, the implication is that the Go-Bots would go on to create the Transformers' multiverse and all the versions of Cybertron that populate it—though in many cases, this lies in contradiction to past fiction.
Still—after years of arguments over whether GoBots are Transformers, we can now start arguing over whether Transformers are, in fact, Go-Bots.
