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. (Botropolis is clearly on an alien world, but the name of that planet isn't given.) 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.
