Fiction
Go-Botscartoon
Kid-Bot was left behind at theGo-Podalong with Gas-Bot,Buzzer-BotandBeast-Botwhen the rest of the Go-Bot Protectors moved out to stopSilver-Bot's antics. The four did keep an eye on the situation through their camera system and thus sawAero-Botbeing challenged by Silver-Bot to a race. Kid-Bot and the others greatly worried about Aero-Bot's safety, what with the hurricane approaching and all. But Aero-Bot wasn't team leader for nothing, easily outflying and later saving Silver-Bot. This elicited much cheering from the Go-Pod audience.Typhoon Twister
Once information got to the Go-Pod that another renegade Go-Bot was causing trouble on Earth, this one calledMototron,Kid-Bot and Gas-Bot opted to be a bit more proactive. Knowing that Speed-Bot was going along to stop Mototron, Kid-Bot and Gas-Bot hid in his trunk and didn't come out untilStrong-Botcontacted Speed-Bot and Beast-Bot to ask if they'd seen the youngsters anywhere. Trying to show some goodwill, the duo ran up to the nearest oil pipe broken by Mototron and tried clearing the way. However, they were far too weak to get it to move even an inch, which amused Beast-Bot to no end. He ordered Speed-Bot to keep an eye on them while he'd clean up the pipes, but as soon as he had left, Mototron showed up and challenged Speed-Bot to a race. Kid-Bot and Gas-Bot liked the prospect of a race, but Speed-Bot reminded them they had more important things to do. Hearing this, Mototron declared Speed-Bot a weakling and raced off into a mine, upon which Kid-Bot and Gas-Bot followed before Speed-Bot could stop them. Inside the mine, the duo found a minecart, which they used to go after Mototron faster. However, Mototron's careless behavior caused the tunnel to collapse around Kid-Bot and Gas-Bot.
Fortunately, Speed-Bot had followed them and got them out of the mine safely. Once Mototron had been subdued and the danger eliminated, Aero-Bot admonished Kid-Bot and Gas-Bot for their irresponsible behavior, ordering them to polish chrome at the Go-Pod as punishment. Kid-Bot and Gas-Bot began cheering over the relatively light punishment, causing the rest of the team to laugh.Arctic Oil Spill

Notes
- The name "Kid-Bot" comes from theGo-Botscartoon and isn't mentioned in any of the toy instructions or on the packages. It is thus perfectly possible that some or all of the figures that didn't come with the Speed-Bot II toy actually are differentcharactersthan Kid-Bot, but there is no fiction to confirm this. Therefore, the toys are listed as being Kid-Bot.
