Aero-Bot led every Go-Mission known. First, while rescuing [[Human|humans]] from a typhoonicane (or something), he took the wild [[Silver-Bot|Silver-Bot]]'s flying challenge, on the condition that should Silver-Bot lose, he leaves [[Earth|Earth]]. The challenge involved racing to the roof of the Island Pearl Resort and taking the giant pearl on the decorative clamshell, then racing back to... some indeterminate point over the ocean. Aero-Bot got the pearl first, but then threw it into the water to create a wave to snuff out a fire that was blocking [[Speed-Bot|Speed-Bot]]'s bus-rescue efforts. Silver-Bot took this chance to take the oddly-buoyant pearl, but he got caught in the typhoon he accidentally caused! Ha-ha! Aero-Bot and Speed-Bot defied physics to dissipate the wind funnel and save Silver-Bot, who was immediately very grateful and returned to [[Botropolis|Botropolis]] to train hard and be a better Go-Bot. <span style="font-size:10px;background-color:#ececec;border-width: 0 1px 0 1px;border-style:solid;padding: 0 5px 0 5px;border-color:#cccccc;" class="tt1_nowrap">[[Typhoon Twister|Typhoon Twister]]</span> | |||

Aero-Bot towed a heavy tanker up a mountain (surely not causing any ecological damage at all) so Strong-Bot could attach the gushing pipeline to it, but Mototron broke the chain. Aero-Bot then raced down and stopped the sliding ship, pushing it back uphill to finish the job. After Speed-Bot saved Mototron from a cave-in of his own making, Aero-Bot gave a speech to the immediately very grateful Mototron, who returned to Botropolis to train hard and be a better Go-Bot.

- Aero-Bot is a character in the Go-Bots continuity.
Aero-Bot was chosen as the "very best", the strong and capable leader of the Go-Bots team. An intelligent and effective leader, he is also highly adaptable and can take on a number of different forms, including various jets and cars, a helicopter, and even a speedboat!

Reptron, testing out his strength in Earth orbit, knocked a comet towards the planet. Silver-Bot spotted the comet just as it was breaking in two, and Aero-Bot was able to save the world with his Flying Fists!
Glow Rock Rescue Game
The Earth was bombarded by Glow Rocks while Aerobot was on a mission to Botropolis. Aerobot had to free his teammates and destroy the meteorites in order to save the Earth.
Aerobot had two modes in this game, a helicopter and a speedboat, that appear in no other media. The helicopter is probably based on an unreleased 'Aerobot Chopper' toy.
