Bug Bite (G1)

Bug Bite is a Decepticon from the Generation 1 series.

Bug Bite 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 her home. He was a renegade in his home dimension, and in his current mission is under the strict supervision of the Guardian Treds.

(Note: Bug Bite 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
Bug Bite was only available in an E-Hobby-exclusive 6-pack with Bad Boy, Pathfinder, Road Ranger, Small Foot and Treds. He is a redeco of the Mini-Vehicle Bumblebee that uses the new cartoon-based head mold, somehow in a coloration that wasn't used previously, even in the South American releases of the mold.
