Transformers Tech Specs


Goldbug was actually introduced to the TV cartoon at the end of "The Return of Optimus Prime" as exactly what his tech spec describes, the ever-popular Bumblebee with a new and improved body (and shinier color job). The rest of the Throttlebots didn't show up until "Rebirth", however.
