Insecticon Members
Basic Insecticons
Each of the basic Insecticons had a way to control other robots.
- Shrapnel: Stag Beetle
- Abilities: Shrapnel can control other robots (as well as almost any electrically run device) by remote with his antennas. Shrapnel is the name of several Fictional characters in the various Transformers universes. Stag beetles are a group of about 1200 species of Beetle in the family Lucanidae, presently classified in four subfamilies Some species grow to 8 In robot mode, his antennae can, in the proper weather conditions, attract massive bolts of lightning from the sky to augment his own electrical generating capacity, and then release that power through his hands. Lightning is an atmospheric discharge of Electricity, which typically occurs during Thunderstorms and sometimes during volcanic eruptions or In insect mode, Shrapnel can use his twin antennae to generate an electric burst of up to 40,000 volts. The volt (symbol V) is the SI derived unit of electric Potential difference or Electromotive force.
- Weapons: Grenade launcher
- Bombshell: Japanese rhinoceros beetle
- Abilities: Mind control (see Cerebro-shells below)
- Weapons: Cerebro-shells (humans) - In his insect form, Bombshell uses his stinger to inject a micro-circuited device into a human’s head. A grenade launcher is a Weapon that launches a Grenade with more accuracy higher velocity and to greater distances than a soldier could throw it by hand Bombshell is the name of a fictional character in the Transformers universes, as a member of the Insecticons, a sub-faction of the Decepticons The Japanese rhinoceros beetle, Japanese horned beetle, or, Trypoxylus dichotomus, is a species of Rhinoceros beetle found in Japan, Korea It travels through the blood until it reaches the brain, whereupon it opens up and releases tens of thousands of connecting wires. The wires coil around nearby neural dendrites until the brain’s conscious functions are effectively rerouted through the cerebro-shell, which puts the mind of the victim under the remote control of Bombshell. Dendrites (from Greek δένδρον déndron, “tree” are the branched projections of a Neuron that act to conduct the electrochemical
- Weapons: Cerebro-shells (Transformers) - Bombshell’s stinger is used in much the same way against other robots’ high-function mental circuitry. The major difference is that once the stinger is pressed against the metal casing of the victim’s head, the small laser torches on the sides of the stinger rotate rapidly to carve a small hole in the casing, allowing the stinger to inject a cerebro-shell.
- Weapons: Head-mounted mortar cannon
- Kickback: Grasshopper
- Abilities: Kickback is adept at controlling others through blackmail. A mortar is a muzzle-loading Indirect fire weapon that fires shells at low velocities short ranges and high-arcing ballistic trajectories Kickback is the name of several characters in the Transformers universes. Grasshoppers are Insects of the suborder Caelifera in the order Orthoptera. Blackmail is the crime of threatening to reveal substantially true information about a person to the public a family member or associates unless a demand made upon the In his insect mode, Kickback can use his legs to leap up to heights of 40 feet and over distances of a tenth of a mile. Although small in this form, with a single kick he can punch a hole in a one-quarter-inch steel plate.
- Weapons: Submachine gun
Deluxe Insecticons
The Deluxe Insecticons were built by Bandai as part of a short-lived toyline called Beetras, and imported to America via Hasbro. A submachine gun (SMG is a Firearm that combines the automatic fire of a Machine gun with the cartridge of a Pistol, and is is a Japanese Toy making company as well as the producer of a large number of Plastic model kits The United States of America —commonly referred to as the Hasbro ( is an American Toy company It is one of the largest toy makers in the world second only to the toy giant Mattel. Due to an arrangement with Takara (the Japanese toy company who built the toys originally intended to be Transformers), they never appeared on TV in anything more than animated commercials. for the town see Takara Central Africa Republic Takara Co Ltd They first appeared in print in the Marvel UK comics then later in Dreamwave comics. Marvel UK was an Imprint of Marvel Comics formed in 1972 to reprint US produced stories for the British weekly comic market though Dreamwave Productions is a Canadian art design studio and Comic book publisher best known for their multiple Transformers comic book series In the Marvel comics, they were part of the Decepticon Mayhem Attack Squad, counterpart to the Autobot Wreckers. They were sent to Earth to stop the time-travelling Galvatron, forming an uneasy alliance with their rivals. Galvatron is the name of several fictional Transformers most often the recreated version of Megatron, the Decepticon Supreme Commander However, they faced not only Galvatron, but a clone of Megatron (at the time believed to be the real thing). Both elite squads were decimated, with at least Venom and Chop Shop being killed. In Dreamwave's The War Within series, Venom and Chop Shop participated in Shockwave's attack on Iacon. Shockwave is the name of several Fictional characters in the various Transformers universes. They and the other Deluxe Insecticons were members of Ratbat's Ultracons faction, and would also be the primary antagonists of the Micromasters miniseries. Ratbat is the name of several Fictional characters who appeared in various Transformers universes. The Ultracons are a fictional subfaction of Decepticon Transformers commanded by Ratbat in the Dreamwave comics
Insecticon Clones
In 2004, the Japanese company eHobby released the original Insecticons molds together in their original Diaclone colors as Insecticon clones. A cicada is an Insect of the order Hemiptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha, in the superfamily Cicadoidea, with large eyes wide apart on the Barrage is the name of two characters in the Transformers universes. Ransack is the name of several Fictional characters in the universe of the Transformers toyline. Each set of 3 came with 3 Energon Cubes.

Animated series
Originally, the Insecticons were three Decepticons that Megatron had left onboard his ship, the Nemesis, which was pursuing the Ark, as back-up. "Deceptacon" redirects here but is also the name of a song by the group Le Tigre. Megatron The Nemesis is a Decepticon spaceship in the fictional Transformers Generation One universe The Ark is an Autobot spacecraft in the fictional Transformers Universe. When the Nemesis crashed on Earth, the trio evacuated in an escape pod, which crashed in an Indonesian swamp. In order to survive, they scanned the forms of the surrounding area's insects. The insect forms they adopted enabled them to extract energon from organic life and metals, though they still ingest fossil fuels and energy-based matter (electricity, energon cubes, etc. In the Fictional universe of the Transformers, Energon (pronounced EN-ur-jon like " Energy " is the primary source of power for Transformers ) as well. Because they took on the forms of insects the size of Transformers, the three Insecticons caused terror for any humans living nearby. They even developed the ability to make clones of themselves out of any metal.
They were eventually found by Megatron centuries later and were re-recruited back to the Decepticons. But they became more independent as a result of their long absence, making them loose cannons: their relationship with the Decepticons proper was one of betrayals and counter-betrayals. Originally appearing in "A Plague of Insecticons", they were discovered raiding human crops. They quickly joined up with the main Decepticons: unfortunately, the Insecticons swiftly decided this wasn't to their advantage and devoured Megatron's store of Energon instead, resulting in a battle breaking out between the two sides. In the Fictional universe of the Transformers, Energon (pronounced EN-ur-jon like " Energy " is the primary source of power for Transformers After this, the Insecticons entered into a free-lancing relationship with the Decepticons, helping Megatron if they had something to gain from it. They were tricked by Mirage into attacking the Decepticons, later using Bombshell's cerebro-shells to control him and lure the Autobots into a trap. Mirage is the name of several Fictional characters in the various Transformers universes Another deal, with Decepticons and Insecticons working together to raid a military power plant, went awry when they overheard Megatron planning to betray them. Munching on a nova power core, they grew in size and strength. They then controlled all the Decepticons bar Megatron with cerebro-shells, forcing the Decepticon leader to team up with the Autobots to stop his mind-controlled troops. Using Megatron in gun mode, Optimus fired the antidote needed to restore the Insecticons size and prevent the nova core they ingested from overloading. However, even the Insecticons' rebellious streak was overlooked by Megatron, as the Insecticons could create clones of themselves, thus creating an instant army.
The Insecticons took part in the Battle of Autobot City in 2005, but were badly damaged, and were tossed out into space along with the injured Megatron, Skywarp, and Thundercracker. Skywarp is the name of several Fictional characters in the Transformers toy line. Thundercracker is the name given to multiple Fictional characters in the Transformers universes. It is unclear if these were the original Insecticons or some of the many clones they were capable of creating. However, since there is no mention of clones being used during The Transformers: The Movie, we can assume that the writers and animators intended these Insecticons to be the genuine articles. The Transformers The Movie is a 1986 animated feature film based on the animated series of the same name. Either way, these discarded Insecticons, along with Skywarp and Thundercracker, were used by Unicron to create new Decepticon troops for Galvatron, with Bombshell possibly becoming Cyclonus (although the issue of whether Cyclonus was a recreated Bombshell or Skywarp is unclear), and with Shrapnel and Kickback becoming Sweeps. Unicron is a Fictional character from the ''Transformers'' universe and toyline. "Deceptacon" redirects here but is also the name of a song by the group Le Tigre. Galvatron is the name of several fictional Transformers most often the recreated version of Megatron, the Decepticon Supreme Commander Cyclonus is the name of two Fictional characters from the various Transformers universes. The clone question comes into play when, later in the film, Shrapnel harasses Daniel Witwicky alongside Scavenger. The Witwicky family members are fictional characters from the original " Generation One " Transformers universes, and are the closest human allies of the Scavenger is the name of several Fictional characters in the Transformers universes. In the third season of Transformers, the Insecticons were still displayed in marginal roles (although their third season appearances are usually dismissed as animation errors). It is possible that Skywarp and Thundercracker became Cyclonus and Scourge and clone-insecticons transformed by Unicron into the Sweeps (which makes sense as the Sweeps have a similar function like the clones). Skywarp is the name of several Fictional characters in the Transformers toy line. Thundercracker is the name given to multiple Fictional characters in the Transformers universes. Cyclonus is the name of two Fictional characters from the various Transformers universes. A scourge (from Italian scoriada, from Latin excoriare = "to flay " and corium = "skin" is a whip or lash especially Unicron is a Fictional character from the ''Transformers'' universe and toyline. This would explain the appearance of the (real) Insecticons later on.
Marvel Comics
In the various Marvel comics series the Insecticons could shrink down to real insect size in beast mode. However, they did not exhibit the cartoon Insecticons' ability to create clones. They first appeared in Issues 17 and 18 in a story set primarily on Cybertron, acting as bodyguards to Straxus. Lord Straxus is a fictional character from the Marvel Transformers comics. The comic Insecticons' appearances would be limited, and most often would involve Bombshell and his cerebro-shells. Their only major appearance would be in Issues 21 and 22 of the US comic. In those issues, the Insecticons have recently arrived on Earth; Bombshell, at Megatron's request, uses one of his cerebro-shells to mind-control a human worker at a dam as part of a plot to take it over. The human uses Megatron in gun-mode to threaten the Aerialbots, but the human's daughter is able to help him overcome the Decepticon control. The Aerialbots (called Airbots in Japan and Aérobots in France) are a group of five Autobots that transform into airplanes In this arc, one of Bombshell's cerebro-shells is also used on Optimus Prime. This refers to the original character For other uses see Optimus Prime (disambiguation Optimus Prime (known as Convoy in Japan Although it is not able to control Optimus, Megatron is able to leech the energies of the Matrix to create the Stunticons and Combaticons as the Autobots create the Aerialbots and Protectobots. The Matrix of Leadership or Creation Matrix in the fictional Transformers universes is the Autobot talisman of legend passed down from The Stunticons are a group of Decepticons feared for their psychotic behavior that have the capability to do death-defying vehicular stunts and wreak havoc on the streets The Combaticons (known as the Combatrons in Japan are a group of Decepticon militaty vehicles in the assorted Fictional universes of the The Aerialbots (called Airbots in Japan and Aérobots in France) are a group of five Autobots that transform into airplanes Bombshell also appears (without the other Insecticons) in the four-issue limited series G.I. Joe and The Transformers, which is concurrent with Issues 23-27 of the US Transformers comic. There have been three main publishers of the Comic book series bearing the name Transformers based on the toy lines of the same name
The Insecticons appeared prior to this in the Target: 2006 arc of the UK Marvel Transformers. In this they are among the Decepticons' most feared killers, and are earmarked for elimination by the Wreckers before a mass Autobot uprising. The Wreckers are a sub-team of Autobots in the fictional Transformers Universe, functioning essentially as a Commando unit However, Megatron calling the Insecticons to Earth scuppered the plans of both Autobots and Decepticons. They also appeared as part of Megatron's and Shockwave's forces during the Earthforce strips. Shockwave is the name of several Fictional characters in the various Transformers universes.
Beast Wars
Shrapnel would go on to receive an extremely unusual reference in Beast Wars. Beast Wars Transformers ( Beasties on YTV, due to YTV discomfort over the name is a Transformers toyline released by Hasbro When Rhinox (turned into a Predacon by a shell program), attempted to seize leadership of the Predacons from Megatron, he set about dispatching those loyal to Megatron. Rhinox is the name of two Fictional characters from various Transformers universes. Predacons are a faction in the fictional Transformers universe created by Hasbro. One of his first acts was to crush Waspinator beneath a crate. Waspinator is the name of several Fictional characters from the various Transformers universes. The Predacon survived, but began referring to himself as Shrapnel and talking with Shrapnel's familiar speech impediment ("Destroy all Autobots-bot-bot-bots!" "Waspinator negative-negative-negative! I am Shrapnel, Decepticon hero-o-o-o!"). This lasted until an annoyed Cheetor blew him out of the air during an attempt to rescue Rhinox (which also led to a deactivating Waspinator quoting the Transformers tagline, "More than meets the eye"). Cheetor is the name of several Fictional characters from the Transformers toyline. A tagline is a variant of a branding slogan typically used in Marketing materials and Advertising.
Dreamwave Productions
The Insecticons would also appear in Dreamwave's re-imagining of the Transformers mythos. They originally appeared in The War Within miniseries as an elite group hunting Optimus Prime alongside Soundwave and Ravage. This article is about the comic book series For other uses see ' The War Within (disambiguation. Soundwave is the name of several Fictional characters from the ''Transformers'' universes. Ravage is the name of several Fictional characters in the Transformers universes They failed, forcing Megatron to personally deal with the new Autobot commander. Megatron They were most likely not called "Insecticons" at this point, as their alternate modes were not insects. Shrapnel's alternate mode was a jet and although the other two Insecticons didn't transform in the series, Bombshell appeared to have a tank alt-mode, while Kickback's was a dragster. Drag racing is a competition in which objects compete to be the first to cross a set finish mark usually from a dead stop and in a straight line In addition, the Deluxe Insecticons had cameos with alternate modes as jets, or in Chopshop's case, a wheeled tank-like vehicle. In the second volume of the War Within when the Autobots and Decepticons had split into several sub-factions following the disappearance of their leaders, Kickback, Bombshell and Shrapnel remained with the Decepticons under Shockwave, while the Deluxe Insecticons would join Ratbat's Ultracons. Shockwave is the name of several Fictional characters in the various Transformers universes. Ratbat is the name of several Fictional characters who appeared in various Transformers universes. The Ultracons are a fictional subfaction of Decepticon Transformers commanded by Ratbat in the Dreamwave comics
Eons later, after the disappearance of the Ark, the Insecticons were dispatched to Earth to find out what had happened, and they encountered the Dynobots on a similar mission. The Ark is an Autobot spacecraft in the fictional Transformers Universe. The Dinobots are several teams of characters in the fictional Transformers Universe. The two teams battled, knocking each other into stasis lock. Unlike the Dinobots, it is unclear whether they were revived after the reawakening of the Transformers in the Ark. In Issues 7 and 8 of volume 3 of the comic the Insecticons appeared, attacking a team of Autobots led by Jazz. Jazz is the name of several Fictional characters from the various Transformers universes. The original Insecticons appeared to be working for Shockwave and had created a huge number of clones. Their plans to control the population of a town was defeated by Jazz's Autobots. The Insecticon clones seemed unable to transform and were possibly techno-organic, as the clones were developed in larvae.
Devil's Due Publishing
The Insecticons would make their first Devil's Due appearance in the second G. I Joe/Transformers crossover. When a team of G. I Joes trying to fix a space-time tear arrived in a nightmare future where Shockwave had conquered Earth, they were almost immediately attacked by a swarm of Insecticon clones. Shockwave is the name of several Fictional characters in the various Transformers universes.
Both the Insecticons and the Deluxe Insecticons would also make a brief appearance in the third crossover between G. I Joe and the Transformers.
