Is there any connection (as in inspiration, not continuity) between Ambush Bug and Bug from the Micronauts?

Though I've long thought them similar, I have never heard of a link between them.

Certainly, Giffen and Micronauts guru Bill Mantlo knew each other (Giffen's first published work was a Mantlo story), but I can find no evidence or acknowledgment of any direct influence.
