This article is about the Insecticon clone type. For the G.I. Joe human, see Salvo (G.I. Joe).
Let's see what you can see...

This article is in need of images.

Specifics: Alt mode
Salvos are Decepticon Insecticons from the Generation 1 continuity family.
"Wait a minute! Wait. Wait. I'm having a thought. Oh yes. Oh yes. I'm going to have a thought. It's coming. It's coming... It's gone."

Salvos (サルボー Sarubō) are clones of the Insecticon Bombshell. Though they are almost physically identical to Bombshell, with the same powers, their individual intelligence is far too low (to the point of almost non-existence) to be effective as little more than a mass army used to bludgeon enemy fortifications with their horn-mounted dart guns. Though they are fairly sturdy, should Bombshell's control-beams be interrupted, they will instantly crumble into a pile of component parts.


Fiction

Technically, the Salvos have never appeared in any fiction, as this specific coloration has never been used. However, the Salvo designation can be considered retroactive, so any appearance of the Bombshell-model Insecticlones can be considered a Salvo appearance.

Collector's Edition

Collector's Edition Salvo is a redeco of the original Bombshell mold, transforming into a mechanical rhino beetle. Its coloration is based on the original pre-Transformers "Waruder Kabutron" 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.
Salvo was only available in an e-HOBBY exclusive three-piece set with Shothole and Zaptrap.
This figure was later repurposed as Shattered Glass Bombshell.
