Something severly lacking thus far in the Go-Bots line is the fiction: the stories about all of these characters. Only four cartoon episodes were ever released; two on tape, and two on television in limited markets. Beyond that, the storytelling task has fallen to the fans.
A pic-fic written for the author's daughter. Cleverly crafted and with a surprisingly dark storyline that adheres to ideas developed in the cartoon and later packaging blurbs.
These stories envision the Go-Bots essentially as Transformers preschoolers, in a school run by the 1-2-3 Transformers. The emphasis is on cuteness and a warm fuzzy feeling. (Mechanicat was the assumed name for Tigertron when these were written. Other names were altered for artistic license.)
These stories are written in a kind of script form, and tie in to the Transformers cartoon continuity.
Bios and backstory for the 3 My First Transformer toys, set in the Japanese G1 continuity.
