Why not go for full-on beast modes? With insects, and their segmented exoskeletons, it's much more appropriate and easier too.
I think everyone learned back in Beast Wars that full on beast modes are hidious and lead to rediculous looking transformers. Part of the appeal in the original Insecticons and even the Dinobots was that they resembled insects and dinosaurs but you're have to be a "Gentle Jack" to not figure out there were robots.
I think the blocky look is working very well on these figures, and I was their biggest critic when the first images came out.TeletranPrime wrote:was this to be a combiner?
Nope.
I agree with Down Shift about FP Insecticons and the way they look, the blockyness does work with them and gives them a touch of G1 inspiration.
