Insecticon (Movie)
| The name or term "Insecticon" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Insecticon (disambiguation). |
- Insecticons are Decepticons from the live-action movie continuity family.
The Insecticons are robotic insects, capable of implanting cerebro-strips into the heads of victims; this allows the Insecticon's master to mentally manipulate and control the victims remotely. Whether the Insecticons are sentient or merely a drone race is unknown.
Robot insects that brainwash people; where'd they get a weird idea like that from, eh?
Fiction
Titan Magazines
While Megatron was in charge, Starscream quietly had his Insecticons implant cerebro-strips in multiple humans, all for the day when he would gain command. Shockingly, that day actually arrived, and Starscream now has an army of potential human servants, including the 44th President of the United States. He stated this was all "courtesy of my Insecticons!", but as the room was empty at the time, it is unknown to whom he was talking.

Revenge of the Fallen
While Sam Witwicky and Mikaela Banes were hiding from the Decepticons, a tiny creepy-crawly infiltrator flew in through a hole in the wall. It was discovered by Sam, who pulled it apart with his fingers, but not before it transmitted the humans' position to the Decepticons. Revenge of the Fallen
