Fiction

Cyberverse cartoon

Voice actor: Rich Orlow (English)

After the Quintessons had invaded Cybertron, Biter ordered the Prosecutors to round up any straggling Cybertronians. When they found Hot Rod and Clobber, the two managed to (eventually) crush Biter and the Prosecutors under debris. The Loop

Along with the Prosecutors and other Sharkticons, Biter received orders from the acting Judge to capture Hot Rod. While searching for the fugitive, Biter battled the escaped Soundwave and Dead End. After Soundwave froze and played parade music, Biter prepared to attack Hot Rod only to get knocked out by Clobber. The Bailiff was taken prisoner to Iaconus and was tortured by Soundwave before Hot Rod intervened. Despite not knowing anything, Biter was able to direct the Cybertronian resistance to the Scientist. The Prisoner

Biter was eventually released by his fellow Sharkticons during a rally held in Maccadam's bar by Lord Gnaw. However, the escaped Windblade interrupted the celebration and defeated all the Sharkticons present, starting with Biter. The End Of The Universe II

Notes

• Biter is only properly named in the end credits. Within the show, he is only referred to as a "Bailiff" in "The Prisoner".
• What sets Biter apart from the other Sharkticons in Cyberverse is his prominently black color scheme, the scars on his armor, and his red optics.
