Bido is a Decepticon C.O.M.B.A.T. Bot from the Earth Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
A flash of light reflects off its horn as the king of bugs returns!

Bido's lack of emotions has led some to compare him to Shockwave in terms of dispassionate coldness.<ref>Earth Wars mobile game bio for Bido</ref>

{{#if:Bido to Ravage"Revered Heroes"|
“ I am here at the behest of Shockwave himself! And were I capable of such emotion... I'd feel truly proud and honoured at his summoning. ”

Bido arrived in response to Shockwave's summons. Revered Heroes

Bombshock and Power Punch mocked Bido's one-optic stare, to which Bido retorted that their thoughts about him were of no meaning to him. Singe further claimed Bido merely attempted to imitate Shockwave's lack of passion out of idolatry of Shockwave. To that, Bido provided an analysis (possibly supplied by Shockwave's command-level access) of combat records which identified Singe and Bombshock's recent performance as subpar.

Prime

[edit]
  • Shockwave (Deluxe, 2012)
  • Set ID number: AM-29
  • Micron ID number: M-35
  • Release date: December 15, 2012
  • Energon Crystal: AP Ice
Prime Bido serves as the basis for Earth Wars Bido.
Part of the ninth wave of TakaraTomy Prime toys, Bido transforms from a robotic rhinoceros beetle into the tri-barreled "Sling Shock" weapon from the Fall of Cybertron game. As part of the Arms Micron gimmick, Bido features numerous 5 mm peg-holes and a pair of pegs, allowing him to combine with other Microns to form bigger and more ridiculous "Combo Weapons" and "Super Combo Weapons".
As an "Ice" crystal type, his main combination is with Bogu and Giza as the Shooting Star Scissors Super Combo Weapon.
He was only available packed in with the Deluxe Shockwave toy, coming out of the package as a bunch of unpainted parts on runners, like a model kit. His extra deco is provided by customer-applied foil stickers on a sheet he shares with Shockwave. Bido actually replaces the mold's built-in arm-weapon, thus both of Shockwave's modes are incomplete without weapon-mode Bido attached, as the original cannon also forms a significant chunk of the jet-form fuselage. It's still technically functional, it's just got a big dang hole in it.
