I don't know. I wanted new Deluxe Insecticons for a long time but these aren't doing it for me. The originals pulled off some nice tricks with the insect legs, which remains notable to this day because so few bug bots do anything with the legs. These are haphazard retools. Does barrage even have six legs?

He does not. Chopshop has actual legs instead of the ski things Shrapnel has at least.

Either way, probably the best we’re going to get given their almost zero fictional relevance and possible rights issues with their original looks.

 

[Blot]

Yeah, I had been wondering just how much the Bandai elephant in the room impacts modern Deluxe Insecticons looking like them.

 

[NovaSaber]

I'd think issues with Bandai would effect their robot modes more than their insect modes.
The insect modes are bad just because they're retools of the regular Insecticons.

I've got the original Fans Project versions, which are great (Although one of the team is missing).

 

[unluckiness]

Had the regular insecticons made from those molds. Bombshell or Shrapnel’s Insect legs basically disintegrated whichever one of them had the bug legs that doubled as detachable sickle weapons. Weren’t terrible otherwise but also not worth hunting an exclusive set years after they released IMO.

 

[Gizmoboy]

I still have my 3 FP Insecticons. This is an old picture as I'm missing the new guys, but this is the only picture of my Insecticons I can find right now.

 

[Sciflyer]

That is quite the plague of Insecticons you have, Gizmoboy!

 

[Donocropolis]

Huh, never thought of Black Arachnia as an Insecticon, but it works.

 

[Gizmoboy]

I kind of was going with a Prime Airachnid kind of thing where Black Arachnia is kind of their queen.

 

[Sabrblade]

...Spiders aren't insects.

(Someone had to say it)

 

[Dake]

I thought that... but didn't say it.

 

[Gizmoboy]

You are correct... they are not. That is why she leads them. Spiders are superior to mere insects.

 

[Donocropolis]

If Swoop gets to be a Dinobot, then BA gets to be an Insecticon!

Things that I will also accept as insects are:
Ticks,
Worms,
Centipedes,
Millipedes,
Bits of Lint that LOOK like bugs,
Bats.

 

[Sabrblade]

Bats are clearly Fuzors.

BA, personal log: Day 64, I haven't been discovered, yet!

 

[Sabrblade]

Why, hello, Legacy United Cybertron Starscream.

 

[Gizmoboy]

Trying to figure out what is going on with his cockpit.

 

[Darth_Prime]

But will it be deluxe or leader?

 

[Sabrblade]

But will it be deluxe or leader?

Neither.

 

[unluckiness]

Titan of course.

Looks like the cockpit's missing a clear part or something. Needs at least attempts at the gimmickry the original had because Cybertron Starscream is pretty ugly.
