	BuggyMan was among the [[Renegade]]s who took [[Cy-Kill (GoBots)\|Cy-Kill]]'s side against [[Leader-1 (GoBots)\|Leader-1]] during the [[GoBot\|Go-Bot]] uprising. {{storylink\|Go-Bots issue 2\|Go-Bots #2}}		BuggyMan was among the [[Renegade]]s who took [[Cy-Kill (GoBots)\|Cy-Kill]]'s side against [[Leader-1 (GoBots)\|Leader-1]] during the [[GoBot\|Go-Bot]] uprising. {{storylink\|Go-Bots issue 2\|Go-Bots #2}}

	~~{{charstubfiction~~\| {{storylink\|Go-Bots issue 4\|Go-Bots #4}} {{storylink\|Go-Bots issue 5\|~~Go-Bots~~ #5}} }}		Go-Bots became the dominant species on [[Earth]], building their own planet [[Gobotron]] around it. BuggyMan stayed with Cy-Kill's faction and was part of his entourage when they followed the [[Guardian (GoBots)\|Guardians]] back to the half-forgotten planet. {{storylink\|Go-Bots issue 4\|Go-Bots #4}} He joined Cy-Kill on the stolen [[Command Center (GoBots)\|Command Center]] but they had to deal with [[Turbo (GoBots)\|Turbo]], who was on a one-man rescue mission after the Renegades kidnapped [[Scooter (GoBots)\|Scooter]]. BuggyMan did voice concerns with how Cy-Kill immediately began to act like Leader-1 once in charge of the Command Center but had little time to push for legitimate political change before Turbo—having made short work of [[Fitor (GoBots)\|Fitor]], [[Tank (GoBots)\|Tank]] and [[Loco (GoBots)\|Loco]]—drove through the wall and shot most of the Renegades on the bridge, BuggyMan included. {{storylink\|Go-Bots issue 5\|GoBots #5}}

	{{-}}		===Renegade Rhetoric===
			[[Cy-Kill (GoBots)\|Cy-Kill]] considered BuggyMan a solid officer among the [[Renegade]]s. He took the initiative and showed good judgment in the field. Cy-Kill often employed BuggyMan as a subcommander captaining his own [[Thruster]] during assaults. {{storylink\|Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric\|Renegade Rhetoric 2016/10/17}} When the Guardians and [[UNECOM]] began working on the [[Space Hawk]] project, Cy-Kill dispatched BuggyMan to kidnap [[Anya Turgenova]] so the Renegades could [[Brainstormer\|Brainstorm]] her for the project's secrets. {{storylink\|The Hawks of Space Part 1}} BuggyMan and Crasher joined Cy-Kill in pursuit of the Master Renegade's minion, [[Creepy]]. They disabled his ship, the ''[[Dromon]]'', and boarded it to capture the [[Monster GoBot]]. Just as the Guardians intercepted Cy-Kill's crew aboard the craft, however, they were all teleported to the other side of the galaxy by a group known as the [[Overseer]]s. The GoBots were enslaved by the Overseers and affixed with special cuffs that disabled their power packs and conversion abilities. A bizarre side effect was the change to the color of their superstructures, with BuggyMan becoming an eye-popping orange.

			BuggyMan and Leader-1 were assigned to work in the recycling center. [[Leader-1 (GoBots)\|Leader-1]] fashioned a key from the scrap to free himself and BuggyMan, and together they collected Creepy and the other Guardians and Renegades for an alliance of convenience. The GoBots were confronted by [[A.N.Ubi.S.]], the Overseers' ultimate weapon, but they managed to defeat it. Cy-Kill forced the Overseers to use their matter-superposition ray to send the GoBots home, and the parties went their separate ways once they returned. {{storylink\|Chains of Doom}} While on [[Axiom Nexus]], musing how to integrate his new Renegades into the old guard, Cy-Kill considered BuggyMan a good and stable new partner for the obsessive [[Clutch (GoBot)\|Clutch]]. {{storylink\|Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric\|Renegade Rhetoric 2016/10/16}} The Master Renegade had created a second set of [[Power Suit]]s for the Renegades, but abandoned them and escaped with the ship necessary to form the [[Power Warrior]], [[Grungy]]. Nevertheless, [[Doctor Go]] was able to recreate the central component, forming a tank unit called [[Nemesis (GoBots)\|Nemesis]]. BuggyMan, [[Decker Decker]], [[Block Head]], and [[Loco (GoBots)\|Loco]] used the Power Suits at Cy-Kill's direction to amplify their powers, and Cy-Kill himself controlled the tank module when they all linked up to form Nemesis.

			Seeing an opportunity to disrupt the tri-planet alliance treaty being held on [[Quartex (planet)\|Quartex]], Cy-Kill and the Renegades joined forces with [[Magmar]] to attack UNECOM, the Guardians, and [[Boulder (GoBots)\|Boulder]]'s [[Rock Lord]]s.

	{{-}}		===Renegade Rhetoric===
			[[Cy-Kill (GoBots)\|Cy-Kill]] considered BuggyMan a solid officer among the [[Renegade]]s. He took the initiative and showed good judgment in the field. Cy-Kill often employed BuggyMan as a subcommander captaining his own [[Thruster]] during assaults. {{storylink\|Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric\|Renegade Rhetoric 2016/10/17}} When the Guardians and [[UNECOM]] began working on the [[Space Hawk]] project, Cy-Kill dispatched BuggyMan to kidnap [[Anya Turgenova]] so the Renegades could [[Brainstormer\|Brainstorm]] her for the project's secrets. {{storylink\|The Hawks of Space Part 1}} BuggyMan and Crasher joined Cy-Kill in pursuit of the Master Renegade's minion, [[Creepy]]. They disabled his ship, the ''[[Dromon]]'', and boarded it to capture the [[Monster GoBot]]. Just as the Guardians intercepted Cy-Kill's crew aboard the craft, however, they were all teleported to the other side of the galaxy by a group known as the [[Overseer]]s. The GoBots were enslaved by the Overseers and affixed with special cuffs that disabled their power packs and conversion abilities. A bizarre side effect was the change to the color of their superstructures, with BuggyMan becoming an eye-popping orange.

			BuggyMan and Leader-1 were assigned to work in the recycling center. [[Leader-1 (GoBots)\|Leader-1]] fashioned a key from the scrap to free himself and BuggyMan, and together they collected Creepy and the other Guardians and Renegades for an alliance of convenience. The GoBots were confronted by [[A.N.Ubi.S.]], the Overseers' ultimate weapon, but they managed to defeat it. Cy-Kill forced the Overseers to use their matter-superposition ray to send the GoBots home, and the parties went their separate ways once they returned. {{storylink\|Chains of Doom}} While on [[Axiom Nexus]], musing how to integrate his new Renegades into the old guard, Cy-Kill considered BuggyMan a good and stable new partner for the obsessive [[Clutch (GoBot)\|Clutch]]. {{storylink\|Transformers: Renegade Rhetoric\|Renegade Rhetoric 2016/10/16}} The Master Renegade had created a second set of [[Power Suit]]s for the Renegades, but abandoned them and escaped with the ship necessary to form the [[Power Warrior]], [[Grungy]]. Nevertheless, [[Doctor Go]] was able to recreate the central component, forming a tank unit called [[Nemesis (GoBots)\|Nemesis]]. BuggyMan, [[Decker Decker]], [[Block Head]], and [[Loco (GoBots)\|Loco]] used the Power Suits at Cy-Kill's direction to amplify their powers, and Cy-Kill himself controlled the tank module when they all linked up to form Nemesis.

			Seeing an opportunity to disrupt the tri-planet alliance treaty being held on [[Quartex (planet)\|Quartex]], Cy-Kill and the Renegades joined forces with [[Magmar]] to attack UNECOM, the Guardians, and [[Boulder (GoBots)\|Boulder]]'s [[Rock Lord]]s. The battle initially seemed evenly matched as Cy-Kill pitted [[Puzzler]] and [[Monsterous]] against the Power Warrior [[Courageous]] and the [[Fossil Lord]]'s [[Fossilsaurus]]. He held BuggyMan and cohorts in reserve, however, unleashing his third combiner Nemesis at a key moment in the battle. The tide turned in favor of the Renegades, and Nemesis captured Leader-1 and Boulder. {{storylink\|Combiner Wars Part 1}} Unfortunately, the Guardians and humans used teamwork and Cy-Kill's own ego to drive a rift between him and his allies. The captives were rescued, and a united heroic effort was prepared for the Combiners now. BuggyMan and Nemesis were defeated, and Cy-Kill was seemingly lost forever as he plunged into boiling lava. {{storylink\|Combiner Wars Part 2}}
