- Buzzer-Bot is a Go-Bot from the Go-Bots portion of the Go-Bots continuity family.
Buzzer-Bot is the "most clever" of the Go-Bots. What this says about the average I.Q. of Go-Bots in general is unknown.
Generally, Buzzer-Bot acts as backup for other Go-Bots operating on Earth, manning the scanners in the Go-Pod and alerting them to the various dangers they face. He does occasionally go out in the field, using his flying ability responsibly to help others.

Notes
[edit]- Buzzer-Bot seems to be a slight homage to Beast Wars Waspinator. Normally, it would be a pretty tenuous homage, but then they went and made a Buzzer-Bot who turns into a motorcycle... just as Waspinator's spark was used to power the motorcycle Vehicon General Thrust in Beast Machines. Could still be a coincidence, granted, but....
- In the Go-Bots cartoon, Buzzer-Bot's speech is accompanied by a series of electronic beeps. He's the only Go-Bot they do this with.
- As seen in "Dawn of Future's Past", Waspinator wanted to name the Predacon ship "Buzzer-Bot," but he lost the fight to "Beak-Bot." Curiously, Megatron appears to prefer "Buzzer-Bot" to "Darksyde".
