Transformers, Go-Bots, and all related characters and indicia are trademarks of Hasbro.

In a somewhat-surprising move, Hasbro brought back the "Go-Bots" name to use on their Playskool Transformers. Aerobot (the final Big Adventures figure) was repackaged as a Go-Bot with a hyphen added to his name, and a number of new molds, along with some recolors and remolds, filled the line out nicely. One quirk about the new line was its propensity for tacking a "II" at the end of many names: Aero-Bot II, Speed-Bot II...Silverbolt was accidently packaged as "Silverbolt II" for a time... But perhaps the most confusing was Beast-Bot II...whose "predecessor", Beast-Bot, didn't appear until the next line, a year later.
