This is my proposal for a reformatting of our crossover appearances list on the main video games article. I'd appreciate input, such as whether any additional columns should be added. I'd also be curious if people think this would be better served staying on the game list, or moved to its own separate article. Sound off on the talk page.
'''Bug Bite''' (aka '''Bugbite''') is a member of the [[Mercenary]] faction.

! scope="col" | Title
Bug Bite was a member of [[Doubledealer]]'s crew of [[Mercenary|Mercenaries]], hired by [[Quintesson Judge]] [[Deseeus]] to bring in the [[Autobot]]s aboard the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'' to [[Chaar]]. {{storylink|Earthrise episode 2}} Aboard the ''[[Fool's Fortune]]'', the crew flew to the adrift ''Ark'' and infiltrated the ship. {{storylink|Earthrise episode 1}} While reactivating the ship, [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] went online and took Bug Bite captive as a shield against Exhaust and [[Thrust (G1)|Thrust]], though they fired at them anyway. The Mercenaries successfully brought the Autobots to Chaar, though after Deeseeus refused to pay them and Doubledealer made a new deal with [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], Bug Bite and the others battled the [[Quintesson]]'s [[Deseeus Army Drone|forces]], including freeing Bumblebee, and helped the Autobots escape. {{storylink|Earthrise episode 2}}

After Deseeus took control of Doubledealer's mind, Exhaust and Bug Bite were the only remaining members of the ''Fool's Fortune'' crew. The two were sent to patch up holes in the ship during its battle with both the Autobots and the Decepticons over [[Earth]], during which he mused that he liked the new paradigm. Before he could finish the job, Bug Bite and his partner were shot into the hole by stowaway Autobot [[Cog (G1)|Cog]], and the two Mercenaries tumbled into the void of space. Deseeus later called for Bug Bite and Exhaust to the bridge but was met with no response. The three were presumably killed when the ''Fool's Fortune'' warp drive exploded during the dogfight. {{storylink|Earthrise episode 6}}

:A ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' add-on to ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'', Bug Bite is a redeco/retool of [[Cliffjumper (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Cliffjumper]], with the head from ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (toyline)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron Trilogy|Bumblebee]]. This version of Bug Bite displays a black [[Mercenary]] faction symbol on his chest, as per his appearance in the ''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy (cartoon)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'' cartoon.
:Bug Bite transforms from robot into a 1980s sports coupe that is strongly reminiscent of a Porsche 924 Turbo, though with a front end which resembles that of the {{w|Mitsubishi Starion}}, while omitting the original ''Collector's Edition'' toy's Penny Racer aesthetic. Bug Bite also has molded high-performance brake discs, a surprising detail carried over from a mainline ''Transformers'' figure. Much like Cliffjumper's other mold-mates, Bug Bite's depiction as being rather small in most ''Transformers'' media means this figure is much shorter than a typical Deluxe-priced figure and is closer to being a particularly large Legends-priced figure. Like all Deluxe Class figures of the ''War for Cybertron'' subline, Bug Bite includes numerous 3 mm posts and [[5 mm post|5 mm ports]] for attaching other accessories as part of the [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]], but due to his small size he cannot easily accommodate an entire Weaponizer or [[A.I.R. Lock System|Modulator]] figure. Additionally, he is highly articulated for a mainline Legends-sized Transformer, with over 90-degree ankles and two-way elbows, and a complex transformation scheme. Undocumented in the instructions, Bug Bite's neck is actually mounted on a ball-joint, and when popped out of its housing offers a larger range of articulation.
:The rest of his price-point is made up with Bug Bite's large cannon. It can split into two smaller blasters and a pair of skis that can attach under his wheels. The backend of the cannon is folded out to fit in his car mode's underside to help balance when skis are deployed, while also being used as a melee weapon. It can also be mounted on either his thigh or on the side or top of his shoulder meaning you can put the entire cannon in these spots. Similarly, his [[partformer|detaching]] car trunk can either be put into the robot mode's back or be used as a shield with the help of a flip-out peg. This peg and the backend of the cannon use a unique post and port to connect to each other.
:Almost ''all'' of Bug Bite's white coloring is painted, with only his head and forearms being bare white plastic. While this avoids color disparity, particularly in vehicle mode, it also means he is incredibly prone to paint chipping. The mold was differently retooled into ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' [[Hubcap (G1)#Generations|Hubcap]] and ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#Shattered Glass Collection|Shattered Glass Collection]]'' [[Goldbug (SG)#Generations|Goldbug]].
:The toy is branded as part of the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' toyline by Hasbro in the US but as part of ''Earthrise'' by [[TakaraTomy]] in [[Japan]].

==Notes==
*Bug Bite is a straight cross-continuity transplant of the ''[[GoBots]]'' [[Bug Bite (GoBots)|character of the same name]], utilizing the same "white Bumblebee redeco" design the original used when traveling to the world of Generation 1. While the GoBot was a cyborg from the planet Gobotron, this Bug Bite is, far as we can tell, a fully robotic Cybertron native.
* Unlike most [[Hasbro Pulse]] listings which explain the origins behind each of the ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' toys, giving a little bit of context as to who the character is and where they originated from, thus adding to the reason they are being sold as "special edition" releases from the main toyline; Bug Bite's listing makes absolutely no mention of the original [[e-HOBBY]] and [[BotCon]] toys or the colors that originated from them, nor does it make any mention of the [[GoBot]] origins or dimension hopping nature of the character. The listing merely states that he is based on the [[Mercenary]] from the ''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' cartoon, further emphasizing the two as different characters.<ref>[https://hasbropulse.com/products/transformers-generations-selects-deluxe-wfc-gs16-bug-bite Hasbro Pulse listing for ''Generations Selects'' Bug Bite.]</ref>

The name or term "Trion, but in actuality this is a test of icons and the formatting errors that result from their size." refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Trion, but in actuality this is a test of icons and the formatting errors that result from their size. (disambiguation).

This is my proposal for a reformatting of our crossover appearances list on the main video games article. I'd appreciate input, such as whether any additional columns should be added. I'd also be curious if people think this would be better served staying on the game list, or moved to its own separate article. Sound off on the talk page.
