Autobots, transform and roll out!

It has been suggested this article should be moved to Goldbug (G1).
If you agree or disagree, please discuss why on its talk page.

Reason: This page is kind of a compromisey hack, but there is another compromise that may be less hacky.

Notes

  • This version of Goldbug is, of course, based off of the original Throttlebot Goldbug, only this time he is not a rebuilt Bumblebee.

Toys

Generation 1

  • Goldbug (Throttlebot, 1987/1991)
    • Japanese ID number: C-97
The Goldbug toy transforms into a Volkswagon Beetle. Like all Throttlebots, it features a pull-back motor that zips him forward in both vehicle and robot modes. In 1991, the Throttlebots were re-released in European markets as part of the "Classics" sub-line. Goldbug was retooled to remove the rubsign indent on his roof/chest, and the rubsign decal itself was replaced with a glossy-paper Autobot sigil.
The toy, which predates this incarnation of the character, is an Earth mode body that differs from the body depicted in Goldbug's sole IDW depiction to date.
