GO GO GO-BOTS!

Transformers: Go-Bots was a series active between 2002 and 2005 as part of the overall Transformers franchise. Aimed at preschool children, the series focused upon a team of robots from the city of Botropolis. These robots were sent to Earth to protect it from danger.

Unlike most parts of the franchise, this series didn't have a full-length cartoon. Instead, only four episodes, each 10 minutes long, were produced. As a co-production between toy company Hasbro and Taiwanese studio Wang Film Productions[1] akin to the third My Little Pony series. Two of them aired in New York and Chicago only, making the cartoon extremely hard to find... unless you go on YouTube, that is.

The toyline itself was distributed through Hasbro's Playskool subsidiary, consisting of chunky-looking robots that had (at first) rather quick transformation schemes. As such, they were marketed like so.

Despite some similarities, this should not be confused with Tonka's version of the Machine Robo franchise.
