	[[Bigmos]] was once a mercenary working for the Maximals, but after a battle on the planet [[Dross]] where he became indebted to the Predacon mercenary [[Autostinger]], he chose to leave the war behind and become a nomad.

	Mantis reported back to Bigmos and [[Tonbot]] that they were no longer alone on Gaia. Further muddying the issue, [[Starscream (BW)\|Starscream]] and [[BB (BW)\|BB]] fed them false information, insisting that Lio Convoy and his crew were actually Predacons. Defending their territory, the two other Insectrons attacked the Maximals when they tried to initiate peace talks.

	The Insectrons were a retired mercenary group that in their search for a quiet and peaceful life settled down on the planet [[Gaia]]. When the [[Predacon (BW)\|Predacons]] arrived on the planet, the Insectrons joined forces with the [[Lio Convoy Unit]] to drive the villains out and restore peace on Gaia. This alliance was put to use when the Predacons steered the [[Galvatron Dekazura Tank]] through the jungle to destroy the [[Maximal Gaia base]]. [[Bigmos]] and [[Tonbot]] partnered up with [[Lio Convoy (BW)\|Lio Convoy]] and [[Tasmania Kid (BW)\|Tasmania Kid]] and carried them through the sky so they didn't have to worry about getting hit and could focus on shooting at the tank or otherwise finding an opening. {{storylink\|Demolish the Superdreadnought Tank!}} Later, the Insectrons discovered what looked like an [[Angolmois Energy]]-powered missile base capable of utterly destroying the [[Maximal Gaia base]] and reported their findings to the Lio Convoy Unit. {{storylink\|Make a Surprise Attack on the Super Weapon Base!}}		The Insectrons were a retired mercenary group that in their search for a quiet and peaceful life settled down on the planet [[Gaia]].
