Shothole
From MediaWiki
- The Shotholes are Insecticon clones from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Shotholes are clones of the Insecticon Kickback. Largely physically identical to their template, their extremely low intelligence makes them suitable for little more than swarming. As such, their primary role is to consume raw materials for conversion into energon cubes elsewhere. Though they're fairly sturdy, should Shrpanel's control-beams be interrupted, they -and all other Insecticlones- will instantly crumble into a pile of component parts.
Fiction
Technically, the Shotholes have never appeared in any fictions, as this specific coloration has never been used. However, the Shothole designation can be considered retroactive, so any appearance of the Kickback-model Insecticlones can be considered Shotholes.

- A redeco of the Insecticon Kickback mold in its original Diaclone coloration, Shothole transforms into a mechanical grasshopper. The "control seat" in the insect-mode back / robot-mode chest can open up and store one of the three energon cubes that come with the set. Shothole was only available in the e-hobby exclusive set with Salvo and Zaptrap.
