Hi, I'm here to lay my eggs in your brain.

Powerpinch is ferocious and evil. Truly evil. Evil with a capital EEEEEEEEvil. How evil is he? He's so evil, he's constantly plotting to overthrow himself. He's so evil, his eyes never stop being shifty, even when he's in rest mode. He's so evil, he twirls other villains' moustaches. He's so evil, he tied Snidely Whiplash to the traintracks. He's so evil, he kills the hero and THEN gloats about his nefarious schemes. He's so evil, there's still need to fear, even if Underdog is here. That's how evil he is.

He's also fast and dangerous, using his insect anatomy to defeat his foes. It's not as dirty as it sounds...unless you're an insect. Then it's downright naughty.

Fiction

IDW Beast Wars comics

Powerpinch was one of the protoforms jettisoned by the Axalon on prehistoric Earth. He was activated and chronally displaced by Razorbeast at Magmatron's request. The newly born Predacon quickly joined Magmatron. He was sent to hunt down the Maximals that Razorbeast had also awakened. The Gathering, Part 2

While investigating a swampy area with Transquito, Retrax, Scourge, and Insecticon, Powerpinch was attacked (and partially devoured) by Soundwave. The Gathering, Part 3

He got better though. The Ascending, Part 1
