	Goldbug and the Throttlebots were assigned to [[Orvus Base]], orbiting [[Salvvatan VI]], to safeguard top-secret Autobot research. Their purpose was to act as couriers in case the lab came under threat, taking the data and keeping it out of enemy hands. They had no idea what the research actually ''was,'' but that wasn't deemed essential to their job. And indeed, when an attack did come in the form of [[Sixshot]], the Throttlebots were the only ones who made it out of the station alive, the information in their sole possession. They crashed on the planet below and quickly rushed for cover, Sixshot hot on their trail.

	What they found on the planet was a strangely unoccupied, [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]]ian-style city with [[Energon (fuel)\|energon]] reserves. But just as they were powering up, Sixshot caught up with them and demanded the information. Goldbug suggested that they might not have the information at all, then asked him if he would torture them in that case. Sixshot said he would, so Goldbug ordered the Throttlebots to scatter.

Goldbug and the Throttlebots were assigned to [[Orvus Base]], orbiting [[Salvvatan VI]], to safeguard top-secret Autobot research. Their purpose was to act as couriers in case the lab came under threat, taking the data and keeping it out of enemy hands. They had no idea what the research actually ''was,'' but that wasn't deemed essential to their job.

Sixshot quickly took down half the team, even as they tried to feint and counterattack. The remaining three bantered with Sixshot and then attacked him, the battle taking them into a strange chamber where an "intruder alert" alarm began to blare. There, Sixshot shot Goldbug point-blank in the chest, and his remaining two comrades fared little better.

But just as Sixshot was about to execute [[Searchlight (G1)|Searchlight]], the city around them awakened. A giant fist smashed Sixshot, followed by a similarly-proportioned foot. Goldbug and his two companions gaped in awe at the transformed [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], who declared his own position compromised and announced that he was going to leave and hide again. He told them where to find a shuttle and supplies, but Goldbug was indignant, asking him what kind of Autobot would abandon the dying Throttlebots. Metroplex replied that he wept for them, but his mission was more important, and with that, he left.

[[Rollbar (G1)|Rollbar]] and Searchlight, the latter carrying Goldbug, began walking back to recover their teammates. As they pondered how important Metroplex's mission must be and how lonely he surely is, the battered Sixshot stirred... {{storylink|Spotlight: Metroplex}}

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-97'''

: The Goldbug toy transforms into a Volkswagon Beetle. Like all [[Throttlebot|Throttlebots]], it features a pull-back motor that zips him forward in both vehicle and robot modes. In 1991, the Throttlebots were re-released in European markets as part of the "[[Classics (Europe)|Classics]]" sub-line. Goldbug was [[Retool|retooled]] to remove the [[rubsign]] indent on his roof/chest, and the rubsign decal itself was replaced with a glossy-paper Autobot sigil.
