I'd like to ask that Zybots be added to the toyline tree, with five subordinate categories:
Zybots I
Zybots II
Zybots III
Zybots IV
Other
I will populate the individual pieces. Thanks!
So, something like what is seen here?

Mmmmyep.
Done.

I also added Remco as a manufacturer and Zybots as a mold.

Thanks, Mike!
You're welcome!

I've got a decent amount of stuff up - there are some holes here and there, as it gets rather complicated with sticker/color variations, with some variants being available in single packs, while others only show up in certain multi-packs.
I'm looking at you, Pickup (https://www.the-liberator.net/site-files/robot-toys/zybots-bibots-remco-pages/pickup-zybots-remco.htm)...

Oh yeah, I added a couple other "secondary transforming robot lines" to the site, while I was at it.
ESSO Robot Racers (https://www.shmax.com/products?q_filters_toyline=10174") and Pow-R-Trons (https://www.shmax.com/products?q_filters_toyline=10175") were lines similar to the Zybots, in that they were toylines cashing in on the transforming robots craze at the time, so I figured I'd add 'em since people that are interested in Zybots may be interested in these, as well.

I also added Robo Force (https://www.shmax.com/products?q_filters_toyline=10183) and listed some missing/filled in some of the empty Convertors products (https://www.shmax.com/products?q_filters_toyline=7860), if anyone is interested.

Wow, Robo Force! That brings back some memories.
I had a ton of them as a kid - until my brother apparently got bored one day and thought it would be a great idea to unclip all of their arms at the wrist and stretch the hell out of their arms, pretty much ruining them in the process.
My brother is the reason I don't have a lot of my childhood toys - for example, I got G1 Mirage for Christmas one year...he lasted exactly fifteen minutes before being snapped in two at the waist by one of my brother's patented flying ass drops.
He was such a destructive little twerp, lol.

Small update - Convertors (https://www.shmax.com/products?q_filters_toyline=7860") is pretty much complete, except for the individual parts to the Flexibots.

Does anyone remember Parasites by Matchbox? I was thinking of adding them next. My brother and I had the full set; all gone at this point, unfortunately - all sold at the big garage sale of 199x.

Parasites (https://www.shmax.com/products?q_filters_toyline=10231") subcategory up and complete.

Robotron (https://www.shmax.com/products?q_filters_toyline=10462) is now up.

Androform (https://www.shmax.com/products?q_filters_toyline=10486) also added.
I thought I'd seen all of the wanna-be Transformers toys from the 80s, but Robotron and Androform both managed to fly under my radar.

Fun fact - the Beast Wars II Cybertron Starship (https://www.shmax.com/product_details/3267/cybertron_id_kichi) set is a remolded/recolored version of the Androform Andro Base.

Andro Base was remolded/recolored and released by Blue Box Toys in 1997 as this:

which was then released as the Beast Wars II toy.

Also, there are a few D-lister transforming robots we could still enter, so we haven't scraped the bottom of the barrel just yet.
For example, I just added the Commandrons/Super Alternators (https://www.shmax.com/products?q_filters_toyline=10493).

Reminds me of those action figures I had as a kid: Hu-Mans.
