Transformers Prime "Orion Pax - Part 3" Insecticon Character Design

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?

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

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?

Probably the cocoon he came out of

It looks sufficiently monstrous enough to have peeked my interest.

Hugz?

shatterd glass instecticon

will there be voices for them or more drones with out words to say?

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.

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.

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

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.

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