The Go-Bots cartoon series serves as a companion to the Go-Bots toyline. It centers on the adventures of Aero-Bot, Beast-Bot, Buzzer-Bot, Speed-Bot, and Strong-Bot, a group of robotic protectors sent to Earth from their home city of Botropolis, which is located on a comet. These Go-Bots can transform from their robot mode to a variety of altmodes, each representing one of the toys released under their name (For example, Beast-Bot can turn into both a gorilla and a cheetah).
| “ | Since the dawn of time, the city of Botropolis has been home to a race of highly adaptable... robots! Each year, the Council selects a team of Go-Bots to protect and serve the planet which needs the most... This time, that planet... is Earth. They chose "The Very Best" in Aero-Bot. "The Fastest" in Speed-Bot. "The Strongest" in Strong-Bot. "The Wildest" in Beast-Bot. And "The Most Clever" in Buzzer-Bot. |

Overview
Being intended for very young children, the series is quite formulaic. In each episode, a young and reckless Go-Bot arrives on Earth from their homeworld and begins to cause trouble inadvertently by exploring the world and their own abilities. Then the protector Go-Bots jump into action, trying to reason with the new arrival and to undo the harm he is causing. Eventually, the careless youngster ends up endangering himself and is rescued by the other Go-Bots, at which point he realizes his mistakes, apologizes, and returns to Botropolis, promising to train so that he can one day become a planet's protector just like his new friends.
There were only four episodes produced, animated by Wang Film Productions, each of which is just over 10 minutes long. The first 2 episodes came packed with a Speed-Bot toy in 2003. The last 2 episodes actually aired on television, but only twice, and only in the New York and Chicago areas.
