IDW Publishing
Poison Bite also appeared in
IDW Publishing 's miniseries. Activated on Earth byMagmatron and a group of Predacons from the future, Poison Bite and the mutants emerged from their stasis pods and took up residence in a swamp that they quickly made their own. When a group newly-activated Predacons lead byTransquito ventured through the swamp on a mission they were attacked by the Mutants. Poison Bite attackedRetrax , Soundwave attackedPowerpinch and Icebird attacked Transquito. Deciding the swamp wasn't worth their lives, Scourge andInsecticon fled (although in Beast Wars: The Ascending it is revealed that Retrax, Powerpinch and Transquito survived this encounter, so it is possible that after Scourge and Insecticon left Retrax killed or at least beat off Poison Bite).3H Enterprises

What they didn't know is that the Oracle was under the influence of the Quintessons. The Mutants were sent to the outer Orion Cluster. Once there they were captured by the Quintessons, found in contempt by the five-faced aliens, and destroyed in an attack by a swarm of
