Dear Strong-Bot. How do you type with shovels for hands?

Strong-Bot was chosen by the High Council as "the strongest" of the available Go-Bots to join the Earth's Go-Bot Team on their mission to help Earth.

When Silver-Bot arrived on Earth and created a hurricane near a human beach resort due to his reckless fun, Aero-Bot, Speed-Bot and Strong-Bot were dispatched to save the people and stop the big doofus. First Strong-Bot towed a cruise liner to safety (by dragging it across shallow water), then dug a cave for the tourists to hide out in during the storm. Typhoon Twister

When Mototron caused a hubbub in the Arctic, Strong-Bot stayed behind at the Go-Pod to coordinate Aero-Bot, Beast-Bot, and Speed-Bot. He was the first to notice that Kid-Bot and Gas-bot were absent from the base, and asked the agents in the field if they’d seen them about. Sure enough, the pair had stowed away in Speed-Bot’s trunk. With the pair accounted for, Strong-Bot continued to help his friends from behind the monitor. Arctic Oil Spill

When Reptron ran wild near Pyramid City, Strong-Bot was the first to spot the renegade Go-Bot on the Go-scanner. He stayed behind once more that the Go-Pod to help coordinate the mission, notably complimenting Aero-Bot on some great dam-building to save a town from a flood. Reptron's Rampage

Strong-Bot was bestowed a Go-Shield by the Metropolis High Council for his outstanding work guarding Earth. His team then learned that a couple of Racer-Bots had driven off to have fun with their new Go-Brillium powers, kicking up trouble along their way. Strong-Bot once more was ordered to stay at the Go-Pod, this time to monitor the Racer-Bots at all times. Thanks to his quick thinking, the Go-Bots in the field were able to prevent any injuries during the mission. Racer-Bot Road Rally

• Strong-Bot (Special Bonus Pack, 2003-2004?)

This figure was supposed to be an international release of Randy, before it got canceled. This figure (and the three pack it came in) went unknown for many years, until it surfaced on Ebay, where the seller confirmed it was given to him by a former hasbro employee [1].

Your bargaining posture is highly dubious. Proceed on your way to oblivion. This item has been canceled, with no current plans for release.

• Strong-Bot (Basic Go-Bot, 2005)

Just before the line was cancelled, Strong-Bot got a pickup form that was remolded from Flash-Bot.

An all-terrain vehicle made from clear yellow plastic, this is one of the "Invisibility Force" toys that was intended for release in 2004, but was held back until after the line was cancelled in 2005.
