Overbite (Classics)

Overbite is a Decepticon-allied Mini-Con from the Generation 1 and Unicron Trilogy continuity families.

WHO'S A GOOD DOGGIE!! YOU ARE!! YES YOU ARE!!

Overbite is a member of the Predator Attack Team, a trio of vicious robotic hunting animals who are always on the prowl. He is quite capable of keeping out of sight when tracking his prey, but if given the chance, will allow his target to briefly glimpse him just to rattle them up some. He has a habit of keeping trophies after dismembering his victims, and will occasionally bring out items from his macabre collection to maul playfully. The other Mini-Cons think this is sick, but to Overbite it's all good fun.^[1]

Fiction

Classics

Overbite and the Predator Attack Team accompanied Broadside on a "Mutant hunt" in Cybertron's Underworld. Overbite's hunt was successful, as he fatally mauled Guttersnipe and amused himself with the mutant's remains. When the Dinobots arrived later, Overbite nearly got into a fight with Terrorsaur before the latter was restrained by Hacksaw. The New World

Notes

• A Decepticon-aligned Mini-Con called Overbite was planned for release in one of the Cybertron Mini-Con Versus Packs, facing off against the Autobot-aligned Swoop, as part of a wave composed of members of the Mini-Con Council of Sages. Overbite's bio described how he, Divebomb and Wideload came to sit on the Council of Sages to represent the views of Decepticon-aligned Mini-Cons. Overbite was a vicious Mini-Con supremacist who hoped to convince Galvatron into escalating the war to the point where larger Transformers would be left too weak to fight back against a Mini-Con uprising.^[2] Based on the name and his apparent viciousness, it seems likely that this would've been the wolf Mini-Con, surviving through to Classics unchanged.
