| The name or term "Bug Bite" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Bug Bite (disambiguation). |
- Bug Bite II is a Renegade drone from GoBots posing as a Predacon from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Bug Bite II was created as a spare body for Bug Bite, but with the departure of the Renegade scientist for another reality, the insectoid drone has remained behind on Gobotron to defend Renegade operations.

Notes
[edit]- Bug Bite II was conceived as part of an unrealised plan to produce new heads, based on the original Waspinator toy's non-mutant robot head, that could be included with the Transformers Collectors' Club's remaining unsold stock of the Waruder Marauders, allowing them to be sold as different characters.[1][2] While the plans fell through, the Club eventually published the bios that had been produced for the initiative—including Bug Bite II's, written by Spatiotemporal Challengers author Andrew Hall—on Twitter on its last day of operation.[3]
