| Leader-1 | F-15 fighter jet | Leader-1 is the commander of the heroic Guardians. Once upon a time, he defended Gobotron alongside his old friend Cy-Kill, but a schism tore the two allies apart, forcing Cy-Kill to reluctantly take up arms against the evil Renegades. Ever the do-gooder, he's had plenty of adventures on Gobotron, Quartex, and Earth, battling against Cy-Kill's wacky, overly-convoluted schemes. In one notable adventure, he temporarily wound up joining the Renegades after losing his memory. | On ancient, pre-cataclysm Gobotron, Leader-1 was a humble archivist named Luther Unum. Hmmm. | Cartoon profile Toy review |
| Scooter | Scooter (duh) | The smallest and kid-friendliest member of the Guardians, Scooter would much rather tinker with computers than fight the Renegades. Although he has no weapons, his hologram projector lets him create illusions, and he's befriended the UNECOM cadet Nick, who's helped him to overcome some his cowardice. Always timid, he had one particularly scary adventure where he thought he was turning into a Were-GoBot! Another time, he dressed up as Santa Claus and helped distribute Christmas presents. | Scooter has a counterpart in Axiom Nexus. He died. Megatron once used a "space scooter" that homaged his alternate mode. Your Fierce Tears | Cartoon profile Toy review |
| Turbo | Gobotronic sports car | Leader-1's second-in-command, the gruff Turbo is a no-nonsense kind of 'bot... although he'll gladly throw his own life on the line to protect smaller Guardians or innocent lifeforms from Renegade tyranny. Since coming to Earth, he's befriended the UNECOM cadet named AJ Foster. In one embarrassing incident, he was manipulated by the Renegades into arresting a group of Quartex diplomats. In another escapade, he and Crasher time-travelled to the year 2085, where the GoBots were planning to abandon their old robotic bodies in favour of organic ones. | Turbo plays a mean game of basketball. | Cartoon profile Toy review |
| Path Finder | Gobotronic starship | A confident Guardian with a space-worthy alternate mode. Path Finder put her capabilities to good use defending a UNECOM outpost on Mercury against a Renegade incursion. She was ultimately overwhelmed by Twin Spin, Pincher, and Blades. | One of the "G1 GoBots" released by TakaraTomy. | Cartoon profile Toy review |
| Man-O-War | Iowa-class Battleship Hovercraft (Transformer disguise) |
Man-O-War is a legendary veteran and one of the earliest Guardians to sign up, rising up the ranks fast out of necessity. He's also a total dick. Treds was in his platoon and routinely berated for 'slacking'. | His Cybertronian form is based on a prototype of Seaspray. | Toy profile Cartoon profile |
| Rest-Q | Ambulance | As the Guardian's main medic, Rest-Q was dispatched to Earth after Leader-1 was critically injured and in a coma. He helped transmit some of Leader-1's dreams onto the screen, where Rest-Q and the other Guardians offered a running commentary on past events. | Cartoon profile Toy review | |
| Road Ranger | Articulated truck | Road Ranger is good friends with Small Foot. He took part in a notable battle against the Renegade combiner Monsterous, using a Power Suit to form Courageous. | One of the "G1 GoBots" released by TakaraTomy. | Cartoon profile |
| Small Foot | Toyota Hilux | Small Foot is a cheerful idealist. Her inquisitive attitude and can-do spirit has helped her through all sorts of predicaments. Notably, she and several other female Go-Bots took part in a contest on the planet Athena, where she raced against Crasher. On another mission to New Earth, she was turned into a human along with a group of Guardians and Renegades. | One of the "G1 GoBots" released by TakaraTomy. | Cartoon profile Toy review |
| Treds | M1 Abrams | Along with some other Guardians, Treds competed in a high-stakes game of basketball against the Renegades. Treds and the others managed to best Cy-Kill's crooked game, thanks to the coaching of the Harlem Globetrotters. | One of the "G1 GoBots" released by TakaraTomy. | Cartoon profile Toy review |
| Ace | P-51 Mustang | Ace and some other Guardians battled against Optimus Prime and his team of dimension-hopping Spy Changers, assuming them to be Renegades. The Guardians had the upper hand until Cy-Kill intervened, forcing Ace and the others to retreat. | Cartoon profile Toy review | |
| Apollo | Saturn V rocket | Apollo was one of a six-bot crew returning to Gobotron after a lengthy scouting expedition, one launched shortly after the Gobot conversion process was implemented. Scorp and Crain Brain, flying in Space Hawk interceptors, observed them. Cy-Kill subsequently captured all of the crew except Apollo, who escaped to warn the Guardians. Apollo returned with Leader-1's team to rescue the scouts, but Vain Train and Double Decker chose to defect. | Apollo is heavily implied to be a repurpose of a Machine Robo toy that never made it into the GoBots line, as are the rest of the colonists. | Toy review |
| Beamer | Beamer is a recent graduate of the Guardian Academy. He participated in an important attack on the Renegade flagship, Rogue Star, but retreated after Cy-Kill and a large number of new Renegade recruits returned from another dimension to turned the tide. Beamer, Sky Fly, and Guide Star were attacked by Odd Ball, Breez, and Pow Wow and eventually forced to flee. | Beamer, Sky Fly, Guide Star, Odd Ball, Breez, and Pow Wow are the six Wendy's-exclusive GoBots toys. | Beamer at TFU.info | |
| Bent Wing | Fighter plane | Bent Wing is a rebellious young Guardian who studied at the Academy under Major Mo. Although her unit were framed by Bladez and the Master Renegade, the "Robo Rebels" were able to clear their name and graduate with distinction. After an attack on Gobotron's scientific moon, the Robo Rebels temporarily developed a biter rivalry with the Guardian Secret Riders. | Though she had a toy, Bent Wing did not appear in the Challenge of the GoBots cartoon. She appears only in stories from "Renegade Rhetoric." | Toy review |
| Blaster | M33 Missile tank | Blaster, along with Hans-Cuff and Flip Top, attempted to prevent a Cy-Kill from escaping Gobotron's prison moon. They failed. Along with several other Guardians and Renegades, he was taken prisoner by alien Overseers, but managed to escape. | Blaster's failure to keep Cy-Kill incarcerated is lifted from the Challenge of the Gobots five-parter, "The Gobotron Saga". When a GoBots universe was merged with a G1 universe, Blaster took the place of Blaster, because of course he did. | Cartoon profile Toy review |
| Bolt | Lockheed P-38 Lightning | Bolt and some other Guardians battled against Optimus Prime and his team of dimension-hopping Spy Changers, assuming them to be Renegades. The Guardians had the upper hand until Cy-Kill intervened, forcing the Guardians into a retreat. | Cartoon profile Toy review | |

| Courageous | Combiner | Courageous is the Last Engineer's newest creation, a Power Warrior formed of four Guardians in Powersuits and his own spaceship (also called Courageous). It served as a recurring trump card for the Guardians! An irked Cy-Kill would try to create his own combiners to match it, with two incarnations of Puzzler, the knock-off Grungy, and Monsterous; this would eventually culminate in the Combiner Wars on Quartex, with Courageous and Fossilsaurus proving a winning team! In the 'amalgam' timeline, Courageous replaced the Dinobots in engaging Devastator at Autobot City. | Any four Guardians can use the Power Suits. The Renegade's Grungy is a repaint of Courageous. | Cartoon profile Toy info |

| Defendor | ||||
| Dive-Dive | Submarine | Dive-Dive's alternate mode is utterly useless on Gobotron, but on Earth he serves as a talented underwater specialist. Without Dive-Dive, Earth might never have stood a chance against a rebellion of sentient cetaceans. Another time, he helped the Guardians against the evil prate Greenbeard and his Renegade allies. | ||
| Dozer | ||||
| Dumper | ||||
| Flip Top | Kaman SH-2 Seasprite | Flip Top once guarded Cy-Kill's cell and pretty much failed at it. In Small Foot's vision of GoBots suffering at Unicron's hands, Flip Top was among them. | His Cybertronian-style body in the art of "High Noon" is based on Combiner Wars Alpha Bravo. | Toy profile Cartoon profile |

| Major Mo | Red sports car | Major Mo is an experienced soldier and mentor for the young 'uns; he tutored the "Robo Rebel" kids and exonerated them when they foiled a dastardly Renegade plot. In timelines where Leader-1 is out of the picture, Mo tends to lead: he was the rebel leader in a timeline where Leader-1 never became the Guardian leader and commanded the Autobot-Guardian forces after Leader-1's death in the 'amalgam' timeline. | He was absent from the Challenge cartoon and had his first fiction from Fun Pub Facebooks. | Toy profile |

| Zeemon | Datsun 260Z Fairlady-Z | Zeemon is one of the High Protectors of Gobotron, a just ruler who serves along Leader-1. Cy-Kill dispatched the Dread Launchers to kidnap the statesman, only to be foiled by the Secret Riders (and Cop-Tur's bumbling). | Zeemon was the inspiration for Zeemon Magnus. | Cartoon profile review |

Last Engineer
When a passing meteorite impacted ancient Gobotron, the Last Engineer devised the Gobot upgrade as a way to survive the rapid climate change, which would transfer organic GoBeing brains into robotic bodies. Ultimately, however, his nemesis the Master Renegade took advantage of this newfound power, and plunged the devastated world into a civil war. After augmenting his own body with cybernetic implants, the Last Engineer went into hibernation, until he was discovered by Leader-1's Guardians. He eventually emigrated to the human colony world of New Earth, where he lived happily for a while- barring an unfortunate incident where the Master Renegade turned him into a parrot.
