Aero-Bot
Aero-Bot was chosen as the "very best", the strong and capable leader of the Go-Bots team. An intelligent and effective leader, he is also highly adaptable and can take on a number of different forms, including various jets and cars, a helicopter, and even a speedboat!

Aero-Bot led every Go-Mission known. First, while rescuing humans from a typhoonicane (or something), he took the wild Silver-Bot's flying challenge, on the condition that should Silver-Bot lose, he leaves Earth. The challenge involved racing to the roof of the Island Pearl Resort and taking the giant pearl on the decorative clamshell, then racing back to... some indeterminate point over the ocean. Aero-Bot got the pearl first, but then threw it into the water to create a wave to snuff out a fire that was blocking Speed-Bot's bus-rescue efforts. Silver-Bot took this chance to take the oddly-bouyant pearl, but he got caught in the typhoon he accidentally caused! Ha-ha! Aero-Bot and Speed-Bot defied physics to dissipate the wind funnel and save Silver-Bot, who was immediately very grateful and returned to Botropolis to train hard and be a better Go-Bot. ((Typhoon Twister))
Next, Aero-Bot took Beast-Bot and Speed-Bot (and, unwittingly, Kid-Bot and Gas-Bot) to Alaska to help fix a pipeline that was broken by Mototron's wild ride. Aero-Bot towed a heavy tanker up a mountain (surely not causing any ecological damage at all) so Strong-Bot could attach the gushing pipeline to it, but Mototron broke the chain. Aero-Bot then raced down and stopped the sliding ship, pushing it back uphill to finish the job. After Speed-Bot saved Mototron from a cave-in of his own making, Aero-Bot gave a speech to the immediately-very-grateful Mototron, who returned to Botropolis to train hard and be a better Go-Bot. He also admonished Kid-Bot and Gas-Bot for tagging along, punishing them with polishing chrome at the Go-Pod. They seemed to like it. Creepy. ((Artic Oil Spill))

Reptron, testing out his strength in Earth orbit, knocked a comet towards the planet. Silver-Bot spotted the comet just as it was breaking in two, and Aero-Bot was able to save the world with his Flying Fists!

- Aerobot (Big Adventures)
- This blue and white jet was released in 2002, and was the first Go-Bots toy to have electronics. It was also the base mold for every Mega-sized Go-Bot toy that would come later, including the various forms of Silver-Bot. It was also slightly redecoed as Michael in Japan.
- Aero-Bot (Mega Go-Bot)
- When the "Big Adventures" line was renamed "Go-Bots", the original Aerobot toy was re-released in new packaging with a slight name change. The toys themselves are identical.
- Aero-Bot II (Deluxe Go-Bot)
- The second redeco of the original Speedbot mold, Aero-Bot's second form was a car (?!) Called Kid in Japan.
