<div>:''The Lightning Bug is a weapon from the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''<br />
<br />
The '''Lightning Bug''' is a strange device that looks vaguely like a giant beetle on an altar; when the wings are moved into the proper position, it fires lightning bolt-like blasts of energy from its antennae.<br />
<br />
<br />
==Fiction==<br />
===Generation 1 cartoon===<br />
<br />
The Lightning Bug was found on the dead [[Autobot]] colony of [[Antilla]] by a small group of [[Decepticon]]s, including [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]. They took the Lightning Bug back to [[Earth]] with plans to use it against the Autobots.<br />
<br />
When Megatron (and supposedly some other Decepticons) was infected by [[Cosmic Rust]], the kidnapped [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]] determined that the heat from the Lightning Bug was accelerating the spread of the disease. Megatron whined and cried about how he didn't want to get rid of his weapon. But since Perceptor stupidly forked over the [[Corrostop]] cure, which he had previously said should never fall into Decepticon hands, Megatron didn't have to. He sent back the rust-infected Perceptor, so the virus spread to all the Autobots. Megatron then used the Lightning Bug to slightly enhance the spread, then stopped for some unspecific reasons.<br />
<br />
When the repreive allowed the Autobots to find a ''deus ex machina'' -- er, a cure, Megatron decided to use the Lighting Bug on the recently-Corrostopped Statue of Liberty. Why? Who knows. The Autobots were there to stop them, however, and [[Superion (G1)|Superion]] blasted the Lightning Bug to tiny bits. {{storylink|Cosmic Rust (episode)|Cosmic Rust}}<br />
