Complete Go-Bots Power! is an unreleased ten-page coloring book featuring the Go-Bots characters intended to be released at OTFCC 2003. Though the contents were approved by Hasbro, the cover was not,[1] but Hasbro's edict was received too close to the date of the convention to create and get approved a new cover. The artist was David Willis.
Nine of the pages were filled with known Go-Bots characters such as Strong-Bot, Speed-Bot, and Cheetor, but the first page was a "mystery bot" drawing of the Strong-Bot toy. The original idea was for the coloring book to be distributed at OTFCC 2003's "Mini-Con" children's room, and the best coloration of the "mystery bot" character would be made into an exclusive Go-Bots toy the following year. Of course, with the book's rejection, this never came to pass.

Notes
- Because David Willis is a big nerd, several human characters appear based on various characters in Transformers history:
- Donny Finkleberg, from the Marvel comic.
- Sidney Biggles-Jones, from Generation 2.
- Lazarus, from Dreamwave Productions' "Prime Directive", identifiable by the scar over his left eye, watching Mirage-Bot walking a dog (in reference to a fate that befalls Lazarus in the third issue).
- Raoul, from the Sunbow cartoon.
- Strong-Bot playing hide-and-seek in the desert is a reference to the "COUNTING CACTUS" puzzle from Decepticon Madness; that puzzle involved the Constructicons, who (like Strong-Bot) also have alt-modes of construction equipment.
References
- ↑ Hasbro wanted the cover to look more like the "Dreamwave House Style."
