- Shotholes are Decepticon Insecticons from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Shotholes (ショットホール Shottohōru) are clones of the Insecticon Kickback. Largely physically identical to their template, their extremely low intelligence makes them suitable for little more than swarming. As such, their primary role is to consume raw materials for conversion into energon cubes elsewhere. Though they're fairly sturdy, should Kickback's control-beams be interrupted, they, as all other Insecticlones, will crumble into a pile of scrap.
Fiction
Technically, the Shotholes have never appeared in any fiction, as this specific coloration has never been used. However, the Shothole designation can be considered retroactive, so any appearance of the Kickback-model Insecticlones can be considered a Shothole appearance.
Toys
Collector's Edition
- Insectron Clone Army (Multi-pack, 2004)
- ID number: 73 (individual), 76 (clones set)
- Accessories: "Electrothermal Radiation Tube" rifle, energon cube
- Collector's Edition Shothole is a redeco of the original Kickback mold, transforming into a mechanical grasshopper. His coloration is based on the mold's original pre-Transformers "Waruder Battas" Diaclone release. The "control seat" in the insect-mode back / robot-mode chest can open up and store one of the three energon cubes that come with the set.
- This toy was later repurposed as Shattered Glass Kickback.
Notes
- The term "shot hole" actually is a real and relevant term; it's the small holes left in plant matter by insects. It's also used to refer to holes created to house explosives to be detonated. Doesn't make it any less unfortunate-sounding, admittedly.
