Judging by the pincers, the visor-like optics and the color scheme, if it's not Shrapnel, then it's almost certainly based on him. I doubt he'll be named in the actual episode, but if we get a toy of him, I'd wager it'll be named Shrapnel.

No, I believe they fall in the arachnid category as they have 8 legs.

I don't believe that Hasbro has that name trademarked...and in the world we live in, given that there are a lot of people who are overly sensitive about such things and that there are a lot of war vets out there, I don't believe that Hasro would even consider using the name anymore.

Agreed. Definitely getting an Insecticon vibe, especially as hordes of them will be in the new FoC game- ideal for a tie in.

Seconded. And thirded. AM I wrong or are those giant drillbits on/near his shoulders?

You're an Earth human. Cybertronians probably have a different concept of vermin.

GRIMLOCK
I know it sounds bad but look, hes the right colours, looks kind of beastly and (unless i am mistaken) i dont think it has been confirmed that this guy is a con
Think about it, i dont think it is all that impossible considering what has happened so far what with Unicron being Earth etc

So did Hasbro lose the rights to the names of ALL the Insecticons? Is that why we keep getting one guy generically named Insecticon instead of actual Insecticons? Bah, people suck. Oh well, at least this guy looks awesome!

Also: What's with the red Decepticon symbol?

The scraplets were relatively tiny though. i kinda mean it looks more bestial than vermin

I would love a toy of this guy cuz he looks so cool, but what would he transform into?

It's a little too movie aesthetic for my tastes. Or like those monster Gobot cars. :-?

And yeah. I DO miss having the three (and/or seven) insecticons with different names and personalities. (Accepts hugz.)

I'm going home to sulk play with my Fansproject Insects.

Interesting. I wonder if this will make toy form. I'd potentially buy it if it had G1-ish coloring. So far none of the contemporary Insecticons have piqued my interest.

so is he based off of Beast Wars insecticon or are they just calling him that cause hes an insect & a decepticon? I am glad that they didnt go with Shrapnel, Kickback & bombshell though, hate to see what they would look like in prime or bayformers.

I can't recall the last time they used any of those three insect names. I'm guessing they are long gone.

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

Memory.... fading....

Obviously, it's Bob. The good insecticon. XD

I'm betting the individual insecticons have been kicked out of the new continuity. You know, like the Dinobots were supposed to be. Recently I've been thinking about what all the new continuity entails and I'm sad that they will be quarantining characters that they don't think fit into it.
But if we're lucky, I'd say some may still get names here and there (maybe named ones will appear in FoC), either in credits, toys, or, if they're around long enough, just fanon names, like Steve.
