Gobots is an Autobot Color Changer from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Orange you glad he's on our side?

Gobots is a tough fighter who doesn't believe in leaving a job half-done, or even nine-tenths done. He's not satisfied with anything less than 100%. Part of the Autobots' rear guard, he goes through the toughest, most hellacious battlefield conditions simply to make sure there's not a single Decepticon left standing to bring potential ruin to an Autobot victory.

Fiction

Wings Universe

Gobots was one of many "second generation" Transformers created on Earth at the dawn of the 21st century who chose to join the Autobots and defend the Earth. He was part of the team that fought Clench and the Decepticon Syndicate at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland. While on a mission to rescue the hostages with Aquafend, he was exposed to forestonite gas and presumably developed super-powers. Generation 2: Redux

He was watering some trees in Autobot City when the alien ambassadors started arriving. A Flash Forward, Part 2

2005 IDW continuity

Gobots was part of an Autobot squad led by Sunstreaker when they were attacked by Deadlock and his troops. He was shot in the back and killed while attempting to retreat. Drift #1

Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity

When the Cybertron Alliance fell apart due to the humans murdering Megatron's friend, Gobots answered Optimus Prime's call to defend against the Decepticons and was soon embroiled in a battle around Metroplex. Bonus Edition Vol. EX

Gobots, with other Autobots, oversaw an attempt to wipe the Combatrons' Destronger programming. However, before they could be reprogrammed, Unicron interrupted the process and whisked away the Combatrons. Ruination Chapter, Part One

Toys

Generation 2

But sadly, he is not "cool" enough to be an actual GoBot.
  • Gobots (Color-Changer, 1993)
A redeco of the European-market Aquaspeeder Jetstorm, Gobots transforms into a Peugeot 405 T16 rally car. His hood section is coated in heat-sensitive paint, turning pale on contact with cold water...but with the amount of stickers on him, that's maybe not a good idea (thought heat can make it change color, too, but that's also not a very good idea.) He has a long, water-squirting rifle that becomes his front light rack and rear spoiler in car mode. There is a variation of this accessory that uses different-sized plastic bellows.

Notes

  • Oddly, Gobots and fellow color-changing Autobot, Deluge have very similar bios.
  • His...odd choice of name is almost definitely due to Hasbro wanting to keep the trademark on the GoBots name.

Foreign names
