Title:
Transformers WFC Generations Selects Bug Bite
Description:
Bug Bite (Deluxe Class, 2020)
Series: War for Cybertron: Earthrise
Hasbro ID number: WFC-GS16
TakaraTomy ID number: ER EX-27
TakaraTomy release date: June 26, 2021
Accessories: Three-piece blaster, 2 skis, car trunk
A Generations Selects add-on to Earthrise, Bug Bite is a redeco/retool of Cliffjumper, with the head from War for Cybertron Trilogy Bumblebee. This version of Bug Bite displays a black Mercenary faction symbol on his chest, as per his appearance in the War for Cybertron Trilogy cartoon.
Bug Bite transforms from robot into a 1980s sports coupe that is strongly reminiscent of a Porsche 924 Turbo, though with a front end which resembles that of the Mitsubishi Starion, while omitting the original Collector’s Edition toy’s Penny Racer aesthetic. Bug Bite also has molded high-performance brake discs, a surprising detail carried over from a mainline Transformers figure. Much like Cliffjumper’s other mold-mates, Bug Bite’s depiction as being rather small in most Transformers media means this figure is much shorter than a typical Deluxe-priced figure and is closer to being a particularly large Legends-priced figure. Like all Deluxe Class figures of the War for Cybertron subline, Bug Bite includes numerous 3 mm posts and 5 mm ports for attaching other accessories as part of the C.O.M.B.A.T. System, but due to his small size he cannot easily accommodate an entire Weaponizer or Modulator figure. Additionally, he is highly articulated for a mainline Legends-sized Transformer, with over 90-degree ankles and two-way elbows, and a complex transformation scheme. Undocumented in the instructions, Bug Bite’s neck is actually mounted on a ball-joint, and when popped out of its housing offers a larger range of articulation.
The rest of his price-point is made up with Bug Bite’s large cannon. It can split into two smaller blasters and a pair of skis that can attach under his wheels. The backend of the cannon is folded out to fit in his car mode’s underside to help balance when skis are deployed, while also being used as a melee weapon. It can also be mounted on either his thigh or on the side or top of his shoulder meaning you can put the entire cannon in these spots. Similarly, his detaching car trunk can either be put into the robot mode’s back or be used as a shield with the help of a flip-out peg. This peg and the backend of the cannon use a unique post and port to connect to each other.
Almost all of Bug Bite’s white coloring is painted, with only his head and forearms being bare white plastic. While this avoids color disparity, particularly in vehicle mode, it also means he is incredibly prone to paint chipping. The mold was differently retooled into Generations Selects Hubcap and Shattered Glass Collection Goldbug.
The toy is branded as part of the War for Cybertron Trilogy toyline by Hasbro in the US but as part of Earthrise by TakaraTomy in Japan.
