	One of Scorponok's Cyberbees attached itself to [[Optimus Primal (BW)\|Optimus Primal]] and injected some sort of venom in an attempt to weaken him and make him a coward. Instead, out of Scorponok's own incompetence, it turned Optimus into a berserker. He gained control only long enough to get out of the [[Axalon (BW)\|Maximal base]], then go Rambo on the [[Predacon (BW)\|Predacon]]s. [[Megatron (BW)\|Megatron]] offered him a deal: his allegiance in exchange for the antivirus. Optimus refused and proceeded to rip the bee off himself, initiating the detonation sequence, and threw it square on the back of Megatron's neck. [[Cheetor (BW)\|Cheetor]] grabbed the antivirus and injected it into Optimus, reviving him. Scorponok pulled the bee off of Megatron just in time for it to literally blow up in their faces. {{storylink\|Gorilla Warfare}}		One of Scorponok's Cyberbees attached itself to [[Optimus Primal (BW)\|Optimus Primal]] and injected some sort of venom in an attempt to weaken him and make him a coward.

	A Cyberbee was used to scout out [[Brigadoon]], allowing Scorponok to see what exactly was there. Unfortunately, [[Tigatron]] got hold of it and reprogrammed it to send a message to the [[Maximal]]s. Cheetor automatically shot at the bee when it arrived, but thankfully, he missed. {{storylink\|The Trigger, Part 1}} Another Cyberbee was successfully used by the Predacons to record the damage that the Maximal base had taken in an electrical storm. It was then scrapped by Cheetor. {{storylink\|Possession}}		A Cyberbee was used to scout out [[Brigadoon]], allowing Scorponok to see what exactly was there.

	* The Cyberbee ~~was~~ not named on Scorponok's packaging, bio, or instructions, which alternately ~~referred~~ to it as a "robot bee" or "robotic bee" (whereas Hasbro's Pre-Toy Fair 1996 catalog ~~called~~ it a wasp). The name seems to have originated in the ''Beast Wars'' TV show, whose scripts consistently wrote the word without a space. The only other time the name appears to have been written down in the "Beast era" was in the bio for [[BotCon 1999]]'s [[Sandstorm (BW)\|Sandstorm]], which rendered it with a hyphen as "cyber-bee".		* The Cyberbee is not named on Scorponok's packaging, bio, or instructions, which alternately refer to it as a "robot bee" or "robotic bee" (whereas Hasbro's Pre-Toy Fair 1996 catalog calls it a wasp).
