Animation of the Telefang 1 Power Antenna in use

The Power Antenna is a Game Boy peripheral which was included in limited-edition copies of Telefang 1 and its sequel. Plugged into a Game Boy or Game Boy Color, the antenna is intended to make the console look somewhat like a D-Shot. Included with copies of Bugsite was a functionally identical item, called the Bug Sensor.

The item's effect is entirely cosmetic, and has no influence on gameplay. Plugging into the link cable port of the console, its antenna will flash when the player receives a call (Telefang) or uses the ingame Bug Sensor (Bugsite). There is no difference between the three versions of the peripheral besides physical appearance, and they are interchangeable between the games that support them. The Telefang 2 Power Antenna is incompatible with Game Boy / Game Boy Color systems due to notches on the peripheral that are meant to match up to a Game Boy Advance, but it can still be used with Telefang 1 or Bugsite if those games are played in an Advance system.

Game Boy micro is incompatible with any model of Power Antenna, due to having a differently-shaped link port than a regular Game Boy Advance.
