- Speed-Bot is a character in the Go-Bots continuity.
Speed-Bot is the fastest of all the Go-Bots, and can take on a wide variety of speedy vehicle forms. His incredible speed 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.

- Speedbot (Big Adventures)
- A red sportscar released in 2002. Who knew this mold would lend itself to so many recolors and remolds? (There are 16.) The Japanese version is called Ted.
- Speed-Bot II (Deluxe Go-Bot)
- The first Formula-1 Go-Bot toy, released in 2003. Though it was released alongside the blue-and-white Mirage-Bot, the mold is obviously intended to be Speed-Bot. He came with Kid-Bot and Gas-Bot figures. Released in Japan as Paul Jr. Recolored as Aero-Bot Racer and Fast-Bot.
- Speed-Bot (Ultra Go-Bot)
- Big red dragster with parachute, released in 2003.
- Speed-Bot (Video Go-Bot)
- This slight redeco of the original Speedbot toy was released in 2003 and came with a video cassette of the first 2 episodes of the Go-Bots cartoon.
- Speed-Bot (Racer)
- The second Deluxe mold, released in 2003. One of the most poseable of the Go-Bots toys. He came with a new driver figure and a gas pump figure. Recolored as Mototron (Racer).
- Speed-Bot (Secret Shield)
- The first new Basic mold for Speed-Bot, released with the "Secret Shield" assortment in 2004.
- Speed-Bot (Toys R Us)
- A TRU-exclusive toy in chrome red, released in 2004 with TRU Aero-Bot. This was actually recolored from the modified Invisibility Force mold that didn't see release until the next year.
- Speed-Bot (Basic Go-Bot)
- Released in 2005, this red muscle car was recolored from the then-unreleased Racer-Bot ALPHA toy.
- Speed-Bot (Invisibility Force)
- Made with clear red 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. This toy was actually slightly remolded from the original Speedbot toy, with different spoiler/feet pieces.
- Speed-Bot (Racer)
- Another new Deluxe mold, this was also slated for a 2004 release, but ended up never being released in the US. It did, however, make it out in the UK in 2005. He came with a new driver figure and gas pump figure.
Rescue Hero Go-Bots
- Ted (Basic Go-Bot)
- Japanese ID number: GO-08
- The Japanese version of the first Speedbot toy, released in 2003. The only real difference is that Ted has bright green headlights and foglights.
- Paul Jr. (Deluxe Go-Bot)
- Japanese ID number: GO-15
- The Japanese version of the Speed-Bot II toy, released in 2003. May actually be identical to Speed-Bot II.
