- Bug Bite is aMercenaryfrom theCyberversecontinuity family.
Bug Biteis a mean-spirited hooligan, who can typically be found laughing loudly at his own jokes about how ugly and stupid everyone around him is. He seems to have a special disdain for his teammateAfterburner,though it's not much worse than how he treats everyone else. Pretty much the only thing he likes is big weapons, preferably when stolen from others.
And picking gunk out of his bossTrypticon's toes.

After freezingCybertronin time, Bug Bite landed with the rest of Trypticon’s crew to loot —then subsequently destroy— the planet. As he exited theMercenaryship, he was bowled over by Afterburner, bringing on a string of insults that was only interrupted byDoublecrossernearly ran them both over.
The Mercenaries were soon attacked byArcee,one of the only Cybertronians who had avoided being time-frozen. Bug Bite was particularly keen on taking her heavy blaster, and got the chance whenSoundblasterfroze her. The crew was then attacked byGrimlock,who had them on the ropes until the otherDinobotsstumbled in. Bug Bite's grenades sent them flying and smashing into Grimlock, and the five were forced to retreat when Soundblaster turned thetime blasteron them.
The Mercenaries arrived at the signing of thepeace treatyand began to pick the place clean of anything valuable. Soundblaster took the opportunity to indulge in a personal vendetta, unfreezingSoundwave'sheadso the Decepticon who had bested him centuries ago could "enjoy" being placed inside ainfinite resonatorwhich would rip him apart, which Bug Bite activated. The Dinobots returned, this time combined into the colossalVolcanicus.He (accidentally) destroyed the resonator, but the Mercenaries surrounded the combiner, attacking from all sides. When Laserbeak stole the Time Blaster, Soundblaster ordered an all-out attack. The Mercenaries armed themselves, only to be incapacitated by a volley of missiles from Volcanicus, who imprisoned them inside the trailer they had collected their loot in.
Soundblaster called for Trypticon’s help, but instead the massive mechanical monstrosity fired his entire crew and decided to take destroying the Dinobot combiner into his own claws. During Trypticon’s battle with Volcanicus, a stray tail swipe destroyed the trailer, and the Mercenaries fled Cybertron in their ship, happy to be free of Trypticon’s employ.The Immobilizers
Notes
- Similar toShadow Striker,Sky-Byte,andAlpha Strike,Bug Bite is spelled in the credits as a single word with normal capitalization: "Bugbite". Of course, since he does not have a toy, we cannot sayfor sureit is stylized as "Bug Bite", though given his recentGenerations Selectstoy, it's a fair assumption.Bug Bitewas also credited as "Bugbite" in theWar for Cybertron Trilogycartoon.
- Like most of the otherCyberverseMercenaries, Bugbite's model is a recolour of an existing character. In his case, that'sBumblebee.
