Bug Bite is a Decepticon from the Generation 1 continuity family. His name is sometimes parsed as "Bugbite."
G1-GoBots-card

Mighty robots! Bug Bite is in the lower-right corner.

Bug Bite is a brilliant yet amoral scientist. He originally belonged to another dimension, specifically a robotic world which was, similarly to Cybertron, consumed by an endless civil war. This war was stopped only when the fate of not only their planet, but their entire universe was threatened by an extradimensional influence. Under the strict supervision of the Guardian Treds, Bug Bite was enlisted to an allied team and sent into the dimension which threatened their own. Bug Bite took a new body and infiltrated the ranks of the Decepticons, hoping to not only discover the source of his home universe's plight, but take calculated revenge.

(Note: Bug Bite is clearly intended to be the character Bug Bite from the Tonka GoBots line.)

Fiction

Marvel Comics continuity

Timelines: Games of Deception

(Note: "Games of Deception" is a part of the Fun Publications Classics storyline, which takes place after a version of the Marvel Comics continuity which does not include the UK-exclusive comics or Generation 2.)

Toys

Generation 1

  • G1 GoBots (Multi-pack, 2004)
Japanese ID number: 84
Bug Bite is a redeco of the retooled Takara reissue Bumblebee, transforming into a "penny racer"-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. He was only available in an e-Hobby-exclusive 6-pack with Bad Boy, Path Finder, Road Ranger, Small Foot and Treds.
Bug Bite's name does not appear in any of the final product material on the Japanese set he "originated" from; 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 became concerned at how Bandai --the company that made the toys that would become the Tonka GoBots-- would react to the names being used, despite the minimal chance of provable trademark infringement on Takara's part.
The original version of this mold is also used by Glyph and Volks.
