- Bugbite is a Decepticon from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Bug Bite is a traveller from another dimension, who has taken the form of a Decepticon and infiltrated their ranks in the hopes of finding the solution to a problem that plagues his home. He was a renegade in his home dimension, and in his current mission is under the strict supervision of the Guardian Treds.
- (Note: Bug Bite is clearly intended to be the character Bug Bite from the Tonka GoBots line. His name does not appear in any of the final product material on the Japanese set he "originated" from; it only appeared in an early Photoshopped promotional image on the E-Hobby website. The individual toys' names were dropped when Takara's legal department became concerned at how Bandai --the company that made the toys that would become the Tonka GoBots-- would react to the names being used, despite the minimal chance of provable trademark infringement on Takara's part.)
