The '''Insecticons''' are an example of reengineered Cybertronian wildlife, robotic insects altered for use in warfare, capable of implanting [[cerebro-strip]]s into the heads of victims; this allows the Insecticon's master to mentally manipulate and control the victims remotely. Whether the Insecticons have been given sentience of any sort when reengineered, retain a merely animalistic level of intelligence, or fall somewhere in between, is unknown.<br />
<br />
Robot insects that brainwash people; [[Bombshell (G1)|where'd they get]] a weird idea like that from, eh?<br />

While [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] was in charge, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]] quietly had his Insecticons implant cerebro-strips in multiple humans, all for the day when he would gain command. Shockingly, that day actually ''arrived'', and Starscream now has an army of potential human servants, including the 44th [[President of the United States]]. He stated this was all "courtesy of my Insecticons!", but as the room was empty at the time, it is unknown to whom he was talking. <br />
<br />
He can ''see us'', can't he? {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 15|Transformers Comic issue 15}}<br />

While [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Mikaela Banes]] were hiding from the Decepticons in [[Egypt]], a tiny creepy-crawly infiltrator flew in through a hole in the wall. It was discovered by Sam, who pulled it apart with his fingers, but not before it transmitted the humans' position to the Decepticons. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}<br />

===''Unite for the Universe''===<br />
Insecticon was among the Decepticons that Megatron called upon, along with [[Hailstorm (TF 2010)|Hailstorm]], [[Terradive (TF 2010)|Terradive]] and [[Skywarp (ROTF)|Skywarp]], to ambush the Autobots when they interfered with his fight with a crazy, [[Project Unite|Unite-powered]] [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]. The mentally-unsound Starscream then attacked Skywarp, leading to Insecticon using his sting to zap him on the head for his troubles. In this dazed state, [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] then took the opportunity to zap Starscream with his gun, removing his Unite ability. Realizing he could no longer discover the secrets of Project Unite from tearing Starscream into pieces, [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] stopped wrestling with [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] long enough to abandon Starscream and retreat. Insecticon and the three other Decepticons followed suit. {{storylink|The Strongest Weapon}}<br />
He is verry small<br />

===Toy bios===<br />
In [[robot mode]], Insecticon is tough and fearsome in battle. In his insect [[alternate mode]], he is quite fast.<ref>Insecticon's [http://www.hasbro.com/shop/details.cfm?guid=F27DFF8A-19B9-F369-105F-BF86601564AB&product_id=27527&src=endeca online bio].</ref><br />
<br />
[[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] didn't want to take on [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] alone again, so he asked Insecticon for help. Since Bumblebee annoyed Insecticon, it was his pleasure to help. The two encircled Bumblebee, stalking through the gloom while Bumblebee prepared for battle.<ref>Insecticon, Battle Blade Bumblebee, and Sea Attack Ravage [[bio]]s</ref><br />

*'''Insecticon''' (Scout, 2010)<br />
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-04'''<br />
:Insecticon is an insectoid robot, who turns into a robotic insect. Surprise! He has a relatively basic transformation compared to other Scouts, but because all 6 of his arms and legs have at least 3 points of articulation, he ends up with '''30 points of articulation.''' You heard right.<br />
<br />
:The [[TakaraTomy]] ''Autobot Alliance'' release of Insecticon features considerable changes to his plastic colours: Where [[Hasbro]]'s release featured a olive-coloured base colour with light grey joints and translucent blue wings, TakaraTomy's features a dark brown base with lavender joints and clear white wings. <br />

==Notes==<br />
*According to concept art by Massive Black, the Insecticons were to have combined into a single monstrous, six-legged robot known as the Hive.<ref>[http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showpost.php?p=2483869&postcount=2179 Concept art]</ref><br />
*In the same post, concept art showed the [[Microcon (ROTF)|microcons]] were also described as being insects.<br />
