Bisk (RID)
- Bisk is a Decepticon from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.
For Bisk, everything is a game. Racing, fighting... it's all about tallying up a score and then putting that score at the top of some list, then bragging about it. He speaks in lingo usually associated with video game nerds, thinks of main objectives as "quests", and even gets irritated when even one thing makes him deviate from the main quest.
Despite his dislike of working with other "players," particularly ineffectual, low-XP ones like Hammer and Anvil, Bisk is no slouch when it comes to combat. His impressive strength and overwhelming tactics allow him to take on multiple opponents at once, and he can even fire a laser from his mouth to knock his opponents unconscious. He's just as likely to slug you in real life as he is in a video game.
Fiction
2015 Robots in Disguise cartoon
- Voice actor: Khary Payton (English), Setsuji Satō (Japanese), Daniele Demma (Italian)
Bisk was one of the Decepticons held in stasis aboard the Alchemor, breaking free after it crashed on Earth. Bumblebee's team found him on a golf course, and after a brief battle, managed to overwhelm him with teamwork (and by having Grimlock land on him). Sadly the golf course did not survive intact. More than Meets the Eye
After Steeljaw broke into the scrapyard, he deactivated Bisk's stasis pod, alongside several others, as part of a bid to bolster Glowstrike's forces. When Thunderhoof brought up Steeljaw's past failures at leadership, Steeljaw informed the Decepticons of his alliance with Glowstrike, and gave them coordinates to follow while he remained at the scrapyard. The escapees later reconvened at Steeljaw's coordinates, where they was inspected by Glowstrike, who seemed pleased by the new cadre of "elite warriors". Misdirection
Bisk partnered up with the Mini-Cons Hammer and Anvil. The trio set about breaking into the backstage of a Rear Axle concert so that they could steal some soundboards, a component vital for constructing a spaceship. Although the heist started off well, things took an unexpected turn when Russell Clay stumbled across the Decepticons and alerted Bumblebee to the intrusion. Bisk then crashed the concert proper to steal another soundboard, although the director mistook him for a human in an elaborate costume. Before he could storm the audience, he was attacked by Bumblebee, and they both tumbled onto the stage right in the middle of one of Rear Axle's songs. The two fought as the band rocked out; the humans at the concert thought that the fight was just a choreographed part of the show. With his Mini-Cons out of commission, Bisk tried to take on Bumblebee solo, but the Autobot managed to gain the upper hand, throwing Bisk into a wall of speakers. Bisk and his Mini-Cons were stashed in a nearby crate and taken back to the scrapyard for questioning. Bumblebee's Night Off

- Bisk (Legion Class, 2016)
Kre-O
- The Kreon version of Bisk was only available in the "Bumblebee Disc Demolisher" set. Rather than normal Kreon hands, he has a pair of asymmetrical claws. And a helmet for some reason.
- All of the 2015 Transformers Kre-O product was skipped by retailers in the U.S. (at first), seeing release in Canada, Australia, and various Asian markets. In fall 2015, almost all of it was finally released in the U.S. through TJ Maxx discount stores, including this set. The "Bumblebee Disc Demolisher" was the first set to hit, and easily the most plentiful of them.
