Fiction
Animated continuity
Shrapnel, Kickback, and Bombshell escaped from the Nemesis as it crashed after shooting down the Ark. Landing in a swamp, the three gained alternate modes based on local insects, and may have gained their strange abilities from a few millenia of independant evolution on a strange world.
Eventually reunited with their Decepticon comrades, the three warriors put their powers on full display, as well as their willingness to "eat and run". The Insecticons would frequently become a part of one scheme or another, and then would betray/be betrayed by Megatron resulting in fighting between the two factions.
After the Battle of Autobot City, the three Insecticons find themselves battered and broken, and on the wrong end of the "weight" jettisoned from Astrotrain. All three are reformatted by Unicron into new bodies with some debate over who became who. However, the Insecticons were often seen in the Decepticon army throughout 2006.

By the time of the events of Descent Into Evil, the remnants of the Decepticons had been widely dispersed, apparently lacking access to their cloning abilities. The Decepticon general Deathsaurus, seeking to provide the Decepticon-Predacon Alliance with the means to return the balance of power to their favor, established a research facility on Ceti Alpha Seven. In this lab, the surviving Insecticons Buzzclaw and Dirge were analyzed, and their genetic cloning ability unlocked once more. The resultant Virulent Clones fought against an Autobot team sent to destroy the base, but were ultimately destroyed along with their base, and possibly Buzzclaw.
