Bulletbike is a Decepticon outlaw, with a sick love for combat. He suffers from an obsessive need for speed, as slowing down reduces not only his rapidity, but his strength as well!
Through means unknown, Bulletbike's body came to rest in Axiom Nexus on another universe's Cybertron, where his kind would be considered "lowtech". Although the authorities were unable to absolutely prove it, it seemed that TransTech corporate mogul Bulletbike had his sparkswapped out of his body and into the lowtech offworlder Bulletbike's body. Likewise, it seems that some other spark was occupying the TransTech Bulletbike's body. The "primitive" Bulletbike, containing the mind of TransTech Bulletbike, worked his way through the offworlder zone and back to his office to confront the impostor Bulletbike. At the conclusion of a violent scuffle, the lowtech Bulletbike plummeted many stories to the ground, spelling the end of both TransTech Bulletbike's spark and the primitive Bulletbike's body. Whatever happened to the offworlder Bulletbike's spark remains a mystery. I, Lowtech
2005 IDW continuity[]
Bulletbike was among a group of Decepticons who conquered Temptoria following the end of the war. They were beaten soundly by the crew of the Lost Light and the planet liberated. Before & After Imprisoned on board the Lost Light and returned to Cybertron, the group was released by Ravage to save Megatron from his trial. Megatron rejected the attempt, however, and the Decepticons were beaten soundly again. Predestination: A Beginner's Guide

Toys[]
Generation 2[]
Bulletbike (Power Master, 1995)
Power Master ID number:PM4
Accessories: 2 gattling guns
They see me roll on/My Segway...
Bulletbike transforms into a silver motorcycle with an orange sidecar. As a Generation 2Power Master, Bulletbike's gimmick revolved around his powerful pull-back motor. After pulling back on his vehicle mode, inserting one of his guns into the slots on his sidecare releases a catch in the motor and allows him to zip along a smooth surface. This feature also works in robot mode.
Bulletbike has no articulation (save for being able to bow down). But then again, that is just how Megatron likes his subordinates. Deeply loyal and unable to actually raise their weapons against him. (Oddly, even the least articulated G1 toys could raise their arms, and this guy was released along with the super-posable Cyberjets.)
Along with the other Generation 2 Power Masters, Bulletbike was one of the last toys in the Generation 2 line, and was only released in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Oddly, the Australia and New Zealand releases were in US packaging, complete with Hasbro's Rhode Island address.
