Denizens of the under levels of Cybertron, the '''Insecticons''' live in destructive swarms, eating metal and remodeling the landscape into enormous interconnected hive networks.

==Fiction==
===''Exodus''===

[[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]] experimented on three specimens, optimizing them for battle in the gladiatorial arenas of [[Kaon]] by turning them into [[combiner]]s- something that disgusted the gladiator [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatronus]]. They were primitive to the point of barely possessing a sentient consciousness, but surprisingly capable fighters. The way they moved together gave away their nature as combiners even when separate. Even with one of their number dead the remaining two could combine into a hovering attack mode.

The trio competed in the [[gladiatorial combat|gladiatorial]] [[Tournament of Champions]] when they encountered Megatronus. He allowed them to [[trans-scan|scan]] a vehicle form before attacking. One emerged from a scrapheap as an all-terrain vehicle with magnetic studded tracks and sought a vantage point on the combat pit's wall, while another sprayed acid on Megatronus's shoulder. Megatronus caught the third Insecticon's multiple, vibrobladed hands and tore an arm off, flinging it into the audience and causing havoc.

Taking fire from the other two, Megatronus made the wounded Insecticon fire his own ion cannon into its neck, killing it in an attempt to ensure there would be no combination. He then slammed the acid-spitter to the floor, but it wriggled away and managed to combine with the ATV, wiring itself into girders while blasting and spitting acid at the gladiator. Megatronus transformed and blasted them, before pinning them down in robot mode and smashing them to pieces with two [[energon mace|maces]]. Megatronus roared "I still function!", as the crowd began chanting a shortened version of his name: Megatron. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}

===''Prime'' cartoon===
An Insecticon was left in stasis on Cybertron, acting as a Decepticon sentry. It was awakened by Jack and Arcee's arrival in Kaon. As they used the Key to Vector Sigma to reveal a hidden passage under the city, the Insecticon attacked. Arcee attempted to distract it so that Jack could escape, but she was soundly beaten. The Insecticon then tracked Jack to Vector Sigma, but was horrified to see the supercomputer covered in Scraplets. Jack hurled one of the Scraplets at the Insecitcon, which decided it preferred live food. The rest of the swarm agreed and the Insecticon was savaged, falling of a bridge into a chasm as it was being eaten alive.
