			*The Insecticon swarm has no definitive design beyond a randomized hodge-podge of parts recognized as typical of the ''Generation 1'' Insecticons, owing to their origin as failures to produce said Insecticons in the IDW continuity. As a result, no two members of the Insecticon Swarm share a design. Additionally, they appear to lack the ability to transform, being stuck between robot mode and insect mode.
