Gender: Mech/Male

Nickname: Bug, Goldie (by Smokescreen) and Unocru (by Unicron and later, Megatron)

Position: Scout

Relationships:
 
 - Cliffjumper - "You left a blank space no one will ever be able to fill, brother." - Golden Bug talking to Cliffjumper's grave

 Cliffjumper was Bug's older brother and the only family Bug had left. He was captured alongside Cliff and Arcee in Cybertron and made it to Earth with them. Bug felt when Cliffjumper died and his spark was infected by the dark energon used to revive him, creating a link between himself and Unicron he was unaware he possesed.
 While Bug for sure misses his brother and would be happy to end Starscream's spark for what he did, for some reason his grief is far from being as deep or strong as Arcee's.

 - Arcee - "Sometimes what forms a bond is a bond itself." - Golden Bug to Arcee 

 While Arcee was never particularly fond of Bug, she can't say she doesn't like having him arround sometimes. She learned through Bug that it only takes a single thing in common with someone to be connected with this someone, and the thing that connects Arcee and Bug is how much they both cared about Cliffjumper, and after he died how much both of them miss him.

 - Smokescreen - "You don't need much to make someone happy. You makes me happy for simply being here." - Golden Bug to Smokescreen

 Bug was all helm over pedes for Smokescreen the moment he set optics on the rookie, and after a few weeks Bug learned that Smokey returned his feelings. It wasn't something very easy for Team Prime to accept, seeing as they were still wary of Smokescreen, but Bug couldn't care less.

 - Orion Eclipse - "If it means so much to you, I'll be your big brother. It will probably help me out too." - Golden Bug to Eclipse

  The Prime's daughter and Bug became inseparable from the day they met. Eclipse was the one who made Bug feel better after Cliffjumper's death by "adopting" him as her big brother, and they became so close that it had lead Optimus to think Bug was in love with Eclipse, but it became apparent that it wasn't the case after Smokescreen was added to the team.


Skills/Weapons: Bug has his in-built blasters and can take care of himself very well in hand to hand combat. He also learned some valuable life lessons from Cliffjumper and often repeats them to those who may need. He compensates his lack of speed and agility with strenght and inteligence, and even though his brother would often jump into action without thinking, Bug tends to do the opposite.

Personality: Bug can be a little shy around strangers, but once he warms up he would do anything for them. Like his brother, Bug can turn into a chatterbox without realizing, what can sometimes lead to some problems if he talks too much. Overall, Bug is a nice bot to have arround and tries to be a pleasant company without changing himself too much. He can also be considered some kind of bookworm.

Resume: Golden Bug is a great fighter and a very nice bot to have as company. He carries life lessons learned from his deceased brother, Cliffjumper, and is more than willing tot each them to anyone one who may need. He can sometimes become a chatterbox tot hose who know him and fall quiet arround strangers.
