Treds

Treds is a Decepticon from the Generation 1 series.

Treds is a traveller from another dimension, who has taken the form of a Decepticon and infiltrated their ranks in the hopes of finding the solution to a problem that plagues his home. Treds is the only Guardian in the interdimensional scout party to join the Decepticons, in order to keep tabs on the two renegades Bad Boy and Bug Bite and ensure that his allies among the Autobots get the information they gather.

(Note: Treds is clearly intended to be the character from the Tonka GoBots line. His name does not appear in any of the final product material; it only appeared in an early Photoshopped promotional image on the E-Hobby website. The individual toys' names were dropped when Takara's legal department felt that the legalities of using the characters from a toy line originally developed by Bandai and a cartoon developed by Hanna-Barberra was shaky.)

Toy
Treds was only available in an E-Hobby-exclusive 6-pack with Bad Boy, Bug Bite, Pathfinder, Road Ranger, and Small Foot. He is a redeco of the Mini-Vehicle Warpath, using a coloration that appeared only in a promotional image from an early Japanese Transformers catalogue.
