Talk:Insecticon (G1)
I feel like there should be bit outlining how the Insecticons (1984) fit intot he larger concept of the Insecticon clans.
I mean, it basically requores you ignore the original reason given for their insectlike behavior in their intro episode. (Whichw as suppostion, and their identi-computer may have been damaaged on TOP of them being Insecticons already I suppose...)
It fits better witht he Insecticons considerign themselves MEgatron's allies, not his underlings. An assesment he shared. (Theys eemed to view him this way even in his intro ep.) So it's not an untenable concept- but tit is a retcon, and I'd liek to see it highlighted as such, or at least the 84 insects places relative to the retcon. -Derik 05:33, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
I think Macabre (G1) from Target: 2006 had a bat alt-mode, rather than being an Insecticon. I'm pretty sure this was stated in an answer to a letter a few issues after Target: 2006 finished, but don't have the comics with me to check right now. --Tribimat 13:42, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
- You're right - specifically, Macabre turned into "a bat-winged air current glider". Edited. --Monzo 13:53, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
While I agree there is a strong case to be made for their presence, we never see Ransack or Barrage with the Mayhems, which I think should be noted. -LV 18:24, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Cartoon Origin?
Not to be picky, but are we determined that they definately came from the Nemesis in the cartoon like it says? I always felt that was a little bit up in the air. Megatron says their pod crashed here before the Nemesis went down, but that's not quite the same as saying it came from it. And they don't seem to know Megatron and co. and, more, Megatron and co. don't seem to know them. Plus they never, throughout the series, really show any impulse to join-up with his troops officially or follow his orders when not actively bribed. Thoughts? -- ZacWilliam 01:12, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
