Bug Bite (Cyberverse)
| 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 is a Mercenary from the Cyberverse continuity family.
Bug Bite is a mean-spirited hooligan, who can typically be found laughing loudly at his own jokes about how ugly and stupid everyone around him is. He seems to have a special disdain for his teammate Afterburner, though it's not much worse than how he treats everyone else. Pretty much the only thing he likes is big weapons, preferably when stolen from others.
And picking gunk out of his boss Trypticon's toes.
Fiction
Cyberverse cartoon
- Voice actor: Marc Thompson (English)
After they froze Cybertron in time, Bug Bite landed with the rest of Trypticon’s crew to loot and destroy the planet. As he exited the Mercenary ship, he was bowled over by Afterburner and insulted the Conehead. They were interrupted by Doublecrosser nearly running them over. When Arcee attacked the Mercenaries, Bug Bite eyed her blaster, later appropriating it when Soundblaster froze her. The crew was attacked by Grimlock and the other Dinobots, who were forced to retreat when Soundblaster turned the Time Blaster on them. They arrived at the signing of the peace treaty and began to pick the place clean. When Soundblaster carried out his revenge on Soundwave, Bug Bite activated the infinite resonator. When Volcanicus attacked, the Mercenaries surrounded the combiner, attacking from all sides. When Laserbeak stole the Time Blaster, Soundblaster ordered an all-out attack. The Mercenaries armed themselves, only to be incapacitated by a volley of missiles from Volcanicus, who imprisoned them inside the trailer they had collected their loot in. When Soundblaster called for Trypticon’s help, he fired his entire crew. During Trypticon’s battle with Volcanicus, a stray tail swipe destroyed their confinement, and the Mercenaries fled Cybertron in their ship, happy to be free of Trypticon’s employ. The Immobilizers
Notes
- Similar to Shadow Striker, Sky-Byte, and Alpha Strike, Bug Bite is spelled in the credits as a single word with normal capitalization: "Bugbite". Of course, since he does not have a toy, we cannot say for sure it is stylized as "Bug Bite", though given his recent Generations Selects toy, it's a fair assumption. Bug Bite was also credited as "Bugbite" in the War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon.
- Like most of the other Cyberverse Mercenaries, Bugbite's model is a recolour of an existing character. In his case, that's Bumblebee.
