Bug Bite (GoBots)
Bug Bite is a Decepticon from the Generation 1 series.
Bug Bite 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. He was a renegade in his home dimension, and in his current mission is under the strict supervision of the Guardian Treds.
(Note: Bug Bite 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.)
