Rhymus: SG Insecticon decos based on G1 Autobots?

SG Insecticon decos based on G1 Autobots?

New page

Besides this picture, i don't remember if any SG fiction indicates what [[Shrapnel (SG)]] and [[Bombshell (SG)]] look like.

Is it true that [[Salvo (G1)]] was repurposed as [[Bombshell (SG)]]? The colors are close, but the layout is wrong.

Is it true that [[Zaptrap]] was repurposed as [[Shrapnel (SG)]]? The colors kinda match, but the layout is wrong, Zaptrap's article does not mention SG Shrapnel, and SG Shrapnel's article explicitly states that "To date, Shrapnel's only appearance is on the BotCon 2008 "One Generation Shattered" lithograph," which shows the not-matching colors.

Depictions of the SG Insecticons' G1 counterparts often leave out the Deluxe Insecticons, focusing on the Shrapnel-Bombshell-Kickback trio.

The G1 [[Monsterbot]] trio includes an [[Repugnus (disambiguation)|'''insect'''-creature]]/[[Repugnus_(G1)#Generation_1|bug-thing]] whose deco reminds me of the Bombshell-shaped guy in this picture, and the Shrapnel-shaped guy in this picture is colored like [[Grotusque|another Monsterbot]]. Speculation on my part, and maybe a coincidence (the colors of these SG Insecticons also remind me of [[Sureshot (G1)|two]] [[Pointblank|of]] the G1 Autobot Targetmasters), but plausible enough to be worth mentioning, [[wikipedia:WP:BOLD|i'd say]].
