Beetle is 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 sets him apart from other Cybertronians is right up his alley. Beetle cares nothing for the Predacons, but loves the arts of torture and interrogation, and since the Maximals are unlikely to sanction his sick passions he's willing to tolerate the larger Predacons. Beetle is the type of interrogator most to be feared: he doesn't care in the least what information you might have, he just wants to find the worst, most painful ways to make you share it all.

- 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.
