Treds
Treds is a Decepticon from the Generation 1 series.
Treds 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. Treds is the only Guardian in the interdimensional scout party to join the Decepticons, in order to keep tabs on the two renegades Bad Boy and Bug Bite and ensure that his allies among the Autobots get the information they gather.
(Note: Treds is clearly intended to be the character from the Tonka GoBots line. His name does not appear in any of the final product material; 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.)
