Fiction
Beast Wars cartoon
Scorponok's cyberbee made its debut attaching itself to Optimus Primal and injecting some sort of venom in an attempt to weaken him and make him a coward. Instead, out of Scorponok's own incompetence, it turned Optimus into a berserker. He gained control only long enough to get out of the Maximal base, then go Rambo on the Predacons. Megatron offered him a deal: his allegiance in exchange for the anti-virus. Optimus refused and proceeded to rip the bee off of himself, initiating the detonation sequence, and threw it square on the back of Megatron's neck. Cheetor grabbed the anti-virus and injected it into Optimus, reviving him. Scorponok pulled the bee off of Megatron just in time for it to blow up in their faces (quite literally). Gorilla Warfare
It was used once again to scout out Brigadoon, allowing Scorponok to see what exactly was there. Unfortunately, Tigatron got hold of it and reprogrammed it to send a message to the Maximals. Cheetor automatically shot at the bee when it arrived, but thankfully, he missed. The Trigger, Part 1 A Cyberbee was successfully used by the Predacons to record the damage that the Maximal base had taken in an electrical storm. It was then scrapped by Cheetor. Possession
