Nucleon shock gauntlet

:''Nucleon shock gauntlets are weapons from the [[Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

'''Nucleon shock gauntlets''' are illegal for a good reason. Once they're magno-clamped to a mech's knuckles, his fists become deadly weapons, as his strength and punching power are immensely magnified. After prolonged use, however, they can become highly unstable.

They are presumably powered by [[nucleon]].

==Fiction==
===Cartoon continuity===
====''Timelines''====
[[Swindle (Cybertron)|Swindle]] found a pair of nucleon shock gauntlets in an abandoned arsenal on the planet of [[Combatron]]. After testing them on his brother [[Hardtop (Cybertron)|Hardtop]], he wore them into battle with a group of [[Autobot]]s, only to have them stolen by [[Blurr (Cybertron)|Blurr]] and [[Armorhide (Cybertron)|Armorhide]]. After the rest of his comrades were captured, Armorhide wielded the shock gauntlets against [[Brushguard]]'s [[Decepticlone]] army. With the gauntlets enhanced by Armorhide's [[Cyber Key]], he made short work of a number of drones, but the gauntlets soon overloaded and exploded. {{storylink|Force of Habit}}

Trent Troop

70.185.195.196: /* Fan Club artwork */

'''Trent Troop''' is one of several fans who has made the jump to working on official ''Transformers'' product. Every character he voices dies almost immediately.

He once crafted an elaborate subplot of a years-long D&D campaign so that it could include an allegorical reinterpretation of Beast Machines. Now that's true geek dedication.

Talk:Bug Bite (GoBots)

2008-03-13T05:56:29Z

70.185.195.196:

==The GoBots That Time Forgot==
Bug Bite had a single appearance on the GoBots 'toon, and I have an okay summary of it. But... uh, where would it go, if at all? A ''GoBots Cartoon'' subheader? Or are we not getting into that kinda thing? --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 00:05, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
: While an episode summary is not a good idea, a Trivia note on Bug Bite's role in the old GoBots cartoon (and its coincidental similarity to how he turned out in GoD) is certainly fine.
: Man, I wish we had a better main image for this page than the combined bio card... but since that's the only official art of his "first" body... --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 01:07, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

==Parsing==
The ''Games of Deception'' preview pages parses it "Bug Bite." Hoo-ha. Can I re-redirect? --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 06:06, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

: About to say.. wasn't it "Bug Bite" originally? I would not be remotely shocked to see it officially parsed as both two words and one (wonder what the packaging says), but if we have both and the ORIGINAL ORIGINAL is two words, I'd go with two. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 06:23, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
:: Damn straight! Back to the real spelling! --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 06:30, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

:::why was it ever ''not'' bug Bite in the first place? There couldn't have been an established romanization from the e-hobby set. Mere oversight? -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 11:01, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
::::I assume you're asking about why this article was at Bugbite, one word? Well, it started out as two words, but the BotCon website announcement of the exclusive has it as a single word, so the article was moved to match that. (If you're actually asking why the BotCon website has it as a single word when the comic parses it as two, then yeah, probably an oversight.) --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 13:34, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

==Number of Timelines Bug Bite toys made==
The Wiki entry says 1500. I assume that this comes from the number 1100 (as indicated on the "certificate of authenticity" regarding the box sets) and 400 (the number of loose sets we were told were made). Yet, the number on the certificate (1100) is at variance with both an e-mail sent by Brian Savage on May 4 (which also confirmed the number of loose sets at 400) and the notice put up at www.botcon.com on that same date, both of which said 1050 box sets were made. Naturally, this would make the total number of toys 1450. I'm inclined to believe that the certificate is in error, but if anyone has more solid information, I'd certainly welcome it.--[[User:G.B. Blackrock|G.B. Blackrock]] 21:57, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

:I'm confused as to how many Primus packages were sold this year before they sold out, since there are also the non-attendee box sets to account for. -[[User:Rotty|Rotty]] 22:40, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
::I certainly don't pretend to know how many are "Primus" (attendee) sets and how many are "Iacon" (non-attendee) sets, but since they're physically the same, I'm not sure it matters. There were 1050 (or 1100, depending on which source is to be believed) box sets. That's "Primus" and "Iacon" together. The 400 loose sets were available to either one, equally. "Primus" buyers weren't given preference over "Iacon" buyers on loose sets.--[[User:G.B. Blackrock|G.B. Blackrock]] 23:10, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

::It's not relevant to Bug Bite, it's just something one would like to know if they got paid the same day they stopped allowing you to buy a Primus package because the box sets were sold out. -[[User:Rotty|Rotty]] 23:45, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
:::<nowiki>*asks of the club forum*</nowiki> -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 00:04, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
::::Just bringing this up again, as I don't know that it was ever resolved. I don't want to '''change''' the entry, since I don't know that the 1450 figure is any '''more''' accurate, but if we're going to state 1500, we really ought to be 100% sure that it's the right number.--[[User:G.B. Blackrock|G.B. Blackrock]] 23:08, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

:::::Or at least footnote how that number is being reached rather than simply asserting it. -[[User:Derik|Derik]] 23:11, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

==Profile pic==
I know it's not the first body, but is it all right if I scan the Bug Bite profile art from the Timelines comic? Someone as important as he is shouldn't have to share his profile art with five other dudes. Either that, or we should make a special case and zoom in on that corner of the art for his image. --[[User:ItsWalky|ItsWalky]] 06:31, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
: I think I'd prefer the latter. --[[User:M Sipher|M Sipher]] 07:16, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
::While I appreciate Zac's effort at cropping, the art itself looks pretty bad blown up to that size. Mayhaps someone who owns the GoBots set can do a bigger scan of the card to make for a better source image? --[[User:Monzo|Monzo]] 20:00, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

==Date of Bug Bite's Appearance==
Does Bug Bite's exposition or specs (I can't find my comic or his spec card) state specifically that he arrived in the TF universe shortly before the first Ark crash? If not, there were a total of three major crashes on Earth: The One 4 million years ago, the one in issue #78, and the one in G2. Since He crops up in the Classics universe that rules out the G2 crash, but wouldn't it seem a little more likely that Bug Bite showed up in 1988/1989 rather than in 4 million BC? Assuming, of course, the timeframes of the two universes are aligned with each other.

Since the Gobots universe isn't imploding during the course of its cartoon run we can only assume that the doom of that unvierse occured after the end of its fictional run, which would appear to be around 1986.

Also, Pete Sinclair told me that it was the second crash they were referring to, so that's got author intent. I don't know how applicable a one-on-one correspondence is in that regard.<div id="wikia-credits"><br /><br /><small>From [http://transformers.wikia.com Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.</small></div>
