It's not a character named "Insecticon", it's just a Cybertronian animal.

Anyone remember an instance since the original toys? ... or what they were called in the reissue box set?

Memory.... fading....

The Universe 2009 TRU reissues went by the names "Kickback", "Sharpshot", and "Hardshell".

Yea thats what i thought it was, like i could just picture jack being like o whats that, then arcee says "an insecticon" it would sound kinda weird if it had an actual name if it was just a beast

Well he's kind of odd looking, but I hope they make a toy of him anyway. Bring on the bugs!

I NEVER would have guessed that's the way you spell "peeked", which is the way i spelled it. Ya learn something new everyday.

That there is a great example of knowing you're sh*t and KNOWING your sh*t.

Scorpions aren't insects.

I know, I know. They're arachnids. But at the time I didn't think there was anything that said this character was specifically insect based. (I missed the shots of his alt-mode in the preview video. )

sad part is that the Insecticons are reduced to mere generics. can't wait for the toys though.

HITFIX has posted another promo clip for today's episode of Transformers Prime "Orion Pax - Part 3". Orion Pax begins to question his true identity after a slip of the tongue by Starscream and an unexpected discovery while researching his "Project Iacon". Don't forgot to tune into the Hub at 8:30 pm ET for the exciting conclusion of the Transformers Prime season two premiere. Click here to view the clip.

This is exactly why the ever-intelligent and rational Orion Pax could never willingly stay a Decepticon for too much longer. As I've said time and again, he's far from being stupid and immoral. And Megatron is just simply too evil to hide his own megalomania and ambitions for so long. Looks like Orion is finally going to see the light,m and in good time too.

I've been waiting all week to watch this!
