Talk:Insecticon (WFC)

Umm...were they actually called Insecticons in there? I didn't think so. Looking back at the chapter to check. --ZacWilliam 13:18, 28 July 2010 (EDT)

"Back in the center of the pit, he kicked apart the remains of the combined Insecticon flyer and flung pieces of it into the crowd for trophies." Alientraveller 13:29, 28 July 2010 (EDT)

Overhaul or new page needed...

So the Insecticons in FoC are gonna be a whole race, seperate page or total overhaul for this one?--76.28.76.206 13:04, 26 October 2011 (EDT)

Given that what little information we have on the FOC Insecticons suggests they were created by (or at least have some connection to) Shockwave, I would vote for overhaul. But I suggest we hold off on any major action until the game comes out.Flydie 16:53, 26 October 2011 (EDT)

Actually IIRC the info HM's released says they are a race of ancient animalish bots freed from beneath Cybertron by the events of the first game, Shockwave then captures and experiments on them. That's a big overhaul, but doable.--76.28.76.206 16:59, 26 October 2011 (EDT)

It could be that the combiners in the first book took their name from the actual Insecticon species (like how wrestlers/fighters name themselves after animals), but that's just my wild speculation. I think that we should have Insection (FOC) as a new page for the time being and note the discrepancy on both. Tom Servo the Great 17:15, 26 October 2011 (EDT)

"Vermin"

Is it safe to add in what info we have from Orion Pax Pt. 2?192.249.47.177 15:21, 2 March 2012 (EST)

Parenthetical

So... they're not featured in War for Cybertron, but we gave them a WFC parenthetical... why?--Rosicrucian^Talk 00:35, 4 March 2012 (EST)

Named Insecticon

The new episode "Toxicity" features the Insecticon 'Hardshell' who has also been confirmed to appear in the Fall Of Cybertron game. There is a trailer on Youtube and TFW2005 from The Hub, and on the Page "Transformers Game" which is ran by Highmoon, there is an in-game image of a very G1 looking Bombshell (Renamed Hardshell) --Swoop 21:45, 22 May 2012 (EDT)

Er, yes? this is something we already knew. --abates 22:03, 22 May 2012 (EDT)

New image

Shouldn't we replace the image with one from the show? Everything else has.

Are Saberhorn and Glowstrike Insecticons?--RoboWarriorPrime (talk), 27 February 2019 (EST)

How can they not be Insecticons? And Zizza? (talk), 27 February 2019 (EST)

Because they've never been referred to as Insecticons in any media, toy packaging, etc.? -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 19:20, 27 February 2019 (EST)

But they transform into insects RoboWarriorPrime (talk), 28 February 2019

So? There's lots of Decepticons that transform into construction vehicles that aren't Constructicons. And lots of Autobots that transform into aircraft that aren't Aerialbots.--Khajidha (talk) 05:39, 28 February 2019 (EST)

I know, but both Aerialbots and Constructicons are military subgroups so if another bot or con transforms into an aircraft (or a construction vehicle) he/she may not even be their member. But the Insecticons are a Cybertronian race; so if Glowstrike, Saberhorn and Zizza naturally transform into insects, it's very very very unlikely they are normal Cybertronians. RoboWarriorPrime (talk), 28 February 2019

Lots of unlikely things happen. The bottom line is that unless an official source says it, we can't say it. --Khajidha (talk) 07:43, 28 February 2019 (EST)

Ok--RoboWarriorPrime (talk), 28 February 2019
