Beetle was a strange, twisted little robot. When other Predacons downsized during the Great Upgrade Beetle took it to the extreme and went micro-sized. Antisocial to his core, anything that set him apart from other Cybertronians was right up his alley. Beetle cared nothing for the Predacons, but loved the arts of torture and interrogation, and since the Maximals were unlikely to sanction his sick passions, he was willing to tolerate the larger Predacons. Beetle was the type of interrogator most to be feared: he didn't care in the least what information his victims might have, he just wanted to find the worst, most painful ways to make them share it all. Beast Wars Sourcebook #1
Toys
Beast Wars
- Beetle (McDonald's Happy Meal toy, 1996)
- Part of the first McDonald's Beast Wars promotion, Beetle transforms into a stag beetle. His head bears a distinct likeness to the gator-body version of Megatron. His body and transformation, on the other hand, bear a resemblance to Insecticon, though he's not colored at all like either of them.
- He's made of considerably softer plastic than most of the other toys even in the promo, making him nice and safe for little ones to chew on.
Notes
Foreign names
- Japanese: Insecticon (インセクティコン Insekutikon)
