Talk:Insecticon (Energon)

His colours may be an homage to Barrage, but his overall shape (while a different insect) seems more reminiscent of Bombshell. ZeldaTheSwordsman 22:21, 17 January 2010 (EST)

Barrage homage edit war

Sorry Abates, but I don't see how there's any argument here. Green and yellow rhinoceros beetle, green torso, yellow legs, yellow head, proboscis extending back from head - it's all there. Khajidha 15:37, 9 March 2010 (EST)

The fact that it's being contested should indicate that it shouldn't be in the article and treated as fact. 129.89.158.192 15:48, 9 March 2010 (EST)

Whatever similarities they have appear to be purely coincidental. If he was intended as an homage, things like his head design would've been more similar. Especially since this is Energon, the land of blatant homages. --Detour 15:52, 9 March 2010 (EST)

The very fact that it is Energon, the land of blatant homages makes it obvious that whomever designed him had Barrage in mind. Even oblique things like Barrage being a gunner get a nod in Insecticon's mold with the artillery on display. There's as much grounds for him being a homage to Barrage as Energon Skyblast being a homage to Skyfire, if not more. I mean, if we're not going to even note this, why is there space dedicated to groundless speculation on what that symbol molded into his back is? --Nu-Priest 18:45, 9 March 2010 (EST)

I believe that we should note the similarity if only like, It is possible that elements of Inscetion's design was inspired by the Generation 1 Insecticon Barrage. or something of that nature. Stevo 19:00, 9 March 2010 (EST)

Debatable at best. I tend to agree with Detour up there. -- Repowers 20:07, 9 March 2010 (EST)
