Beetle
From MediaWiki
- Beetle is a Predacon in the Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Beetle turns into a stag beetle, by gum! He's the Predacon's Insect Soldier. Fighting in deep forests is his strong point, and he's a master of surprise attacks.
- Japanese Name: Insecticon
Toys
Beast Wars
- Beetle (McDonald's Happy Meal toy, 1996)
- Part of the first McDonald's Beast Wars promotion, Beetle transforms into a stag beetle. His head bears a distinct likeness to the gator-body version of Megatron. His body and transformation, on the other hand, bear a resemblance to Insecticon, though he's not colored at all like either of them.
- 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.
Trivia
- Beetle's Japanese name and brief character write-up come from a Japanese Beast Wars guidebook called the Beast Wars Perfect Book.
- Note that Beetle being named "Insecticon" in Japan does not make him another version of Beast Wars Insecticon, as the latter's name was Kuwagaiger in that country.
