Transformers Prime "Orion Pax - Part 3" Insecticon Character Design

So it is Insecticon.



Win!

So did Hasbro lose the rights to the names of ALL the Insecticons? Is that why we keep getting one guy generically named Insecticon instead of actual Insecticons? Bah, people suck. Oh well, at least this guy looks awesome!

Also: What's with the red Decepticon symbol?

You're an Earth human. Cybertronians probably have a different concept of vermin.

The scraplets were relatively tiny though. i kinda mean it looks more bestial than vermin

I would love a toy of this guy cuz he looks so cool, but what would he transform into?

Lolz but of course

It looks sufficiently monstrous enough to have peeked my interest.

It's a little too movie aesthetic for my tastes. Or like those monster Gobot cars.

Hugz?

And yeah. I DO miss having the three (and/or seven) insecticons with different names and personalities. (Accepts hugz.)

I'm going home to sulk play with my Fansproject Insects.

shatterd glass instecticon

will there be voices for them or more drones with out words to say?

Interesting. I wonder if this will make toy form. I'd potentially buy it if it had G1-ish coloring. So far none of the contemporary Insecticons have piqued my interest.

so is he based off of Beast Wars insecticon or are they just calling him that cause hes an insect & a decepticon? I am glad that they didnt go with Shrapnel, Kickback & bombshell though, hate to see what they would look like in prime or bayformers.

I can't recall the last time they used any of those three insect names. I'm guessing they are long gone.

Anyone remember an instance since the original toys? ... or what they were called in the reissue box set?

Memory.... fading....

Obviously, it's Bob. The good insecticon. XD

I'm betting the individual insecticons have been kicked out of the new continuity. You know, like the Dinobots were supposed to be. Recently I've been thinking about what all the new continuity entails and I'm sad that they will be quarantining characters that they don't think fit into it.
But if we're lucky, I'd say some may still get names here and there (maybe named ones will appear in FoC), either in credits, toys, or, if they're around long enough, just fanon names, like Steve.

It's not a character named "Insecticon", it's just a Cybertronian animal.

The Universe 2009 TRU reissues went by the names "Kickback", "Sharpshot", and "Hardshell".

Yea thats what i thought it was, like i could just picture jack being like o whats that, then arcee says "an insecticon" it would sound kinda weird if it had an actual name if it was just a beast

Well he's kind of odd looking, but I hope they make a toy of him anyway. Bring on the bugs!

I NEVER would have guessed that's the way you spell "peeked", which is the way i spelled it. Ya learn something new everyday.

That there is a great example of knowing you're sh*t and KNOWING your sh*t.

Scorpions aren't insects.

I know, I know. They're arachnids. But at the time I didn't think there was anything that said this character was specifically insect based. (I missed the shots of his alt-mode in the preview video. )

sad part is that the Insecticons are reduced to mere generics. can't wait for the toys though.

Besides that cocoon thing, i dont think they showed his alt mode

HITFIX has posted another promo clip for today's episode of Transformers Prime "Orion Pax - Part 3". Orion Pax begins to question his true identity after a slip of the tongue by Starscream and an unexpected discovery while researching his "Project Iacon". Don't forgot to tune into the Hub at 8:30 pm ET for the exciting conclusion of the Transformers Prime season two premiere. Click here to view the clip.

This is exactly why the ever-intelligent and rational Orion Pax could never willingly stay a Decepticon for too much longer. As I've said time and again, he's far from being stupid and immoral. And Megatron is just simply too evil to hide his own megalomania and ambitions for so long. Looks like Orion is finally going to see the light,m and in good time too.

I've been waiting all week to watch this!

SO i guess it [i]is[i] some sort fo decepticon and not just an animal.......lookin forward to watchin it

I love the reflection of prime's(orion's ) face on megatron's blade near the end of the clip. Top notch animating.

Haha this is hilarious! I'll wait until TF 4 comes out to judge it though. I am curious to find out who the villains will be considering did this to all the other ones...

That insecticon looked a hell of a lot like G1 Barrage.
