Insecticons

Insecticon member

• Shrapnel/Insecticon/Sharpshot: Stag Beetle
  • Abilities: Shrapnel can control other robots (as well as almost any electrically run device) by remote with his antennas. In robot mode, his antennae can, in the proper weather conditions, attract massive bolts of lightning from the sky to augment his own electrical generating capacity, and then release that power through his hands. In insect mode, Shrapnel can use his twin antennae to generate an electric burst of up to 40,000 volts. A quirk of Shrapnel's is to repeat the last word in his sentences. Shrapnel's signature weapon is a Grenade launcher.

• Bombshell/Hardshell: Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle
  • Abilities/Weapons: Bombshell has the ability of mind control, via the use of cerebro-shells. In his insect form, Bombshell uses his stinger to inject a micro-circuited device into a human’s head. It travels through the blood until it reaches the brain, whereupon it opens up and releases tens of thousands of connecting wires. The wires coil around nearby neural dendrites until the brain’s conscious functions are effectively rerouted through the cerebro-shell, which puts the mind of the victim under the remote control of Bombshell. Bombshell’s stinger is used in much the same way against other robots’ high-function mental circuitry. The major difference is that once the stinger is pressed against the metal casing of the victim’s head, the small laser torches on the sides of the stinger rotate rapidly to carve a small hole in the casing, allowing the stinger to inject a cerebro-shell. His signature weapon is a Head-mounted mortar cannon. In 2009, Bombshell was renamed Hardshell for trademark reasons.

• Kickback: Grasshopper
  • Abilities: Kickback is adept at controlling others through blackmail. In his insect mode, Kickback can use his legs to leap up to heights of 40 feet and over distances of a tenth of a mile. Although small in this form, he can punch a hole in a one-quarter-inch steel plate with a single kick. Kickback's signature weapon is a Submachine gun.

TakaraTomy TF Encore No20 Constructicons Devastator

The Constructicons, so named for their group job of design, engineering and construction for the Decepticon forces, are particularly notable for their status as the very first combining sub-group of Transformers, able to merge their bodies and minds together to form the gigantic Devastator.

• Scrapper — (Construction Engineer)
  He transforms into a wheeled front end loader.
  He forms the right leg of Devastator
  He is the leader of the Constructicons even though he does not form Devastator's torso.
  He is a master designer who conceives the myriad structures the Constructicons assemble.
  Although he is genuinely modest about his work, he is prone to bragging amongst his fellow Constructicons. As indicated by a cut line from the original script of the Constructicons, Scrapper was originally to be named Gravedigger.
  .
• Hook (Surgical Engineer)
  He transforms into a mobile crane.
  He forms the head and upper torso of Devastator.
  He is the team's perfectionist second-in-command, who considers himself far too elite to deal with most of the "ruffians" that call themselves Decepticons.
  He is excellent at performing tasks which require extreme precision (including surgical operations), but the time he takes to perfect his work and his arrogance are his weaknesses.
  .
• Bonecrusher (Demolitions)
  He transforms into a bulldozer.
  He forms the left arm of Devastator.
  He is a brawler by nature and specializes in demolitions work.
  Under this vicious personality is an underlying motive; he is a perfectionist at heart and wishes to destroy all he deems imperfect, including the Autobots. He would enjoy the extra potential for destruction as Devastator if it did not mean sharing the same mind space as his fellow Constructicons. A different Bonecrusher was in the 2007 live action version of Transformers.
  
• Scavenger (Mining and Salvage)
  He transforms into an excavator.
  He forms the right arm of Devastator.
  He is an unashamedly pathetic Decepticon.
  Desperate to prove his worth to his team-mates, he uses his one true gift - his shovel's ability to detect various magnetic, ionic, electrical or gas readings - to locate items of value, although all he can usually find is junk.
  Originally to be named Scrounge, this became a derogatory nickname for him from the other Constructicons and Decepticons.
  
• Long Haul (Transport)
  He transforms into a dump truck.
  He forms the lower torso of Devastator.
  He is not fond of his role as transport, ferrying construction materials to and from on a Constructicon building site, and although he accepts its importance, he would much rather be a full-time warrior.
  In a children's coloring book, Long Haul is once mistakenly referred to by Scrapper's early name, Gravedigger.
  
• Mixmaster (Materials Fabrication)
  He transforms into a concrete mixer truck.
  He forms the left leg of Devastator.
  He might have a few chips loose in his logic center, judging by the cackling with which he undertakes his role of materials fabrication.
  Although manic and erratic by nature, he is a genius of a chemist, able to mix chemicals in the drum of his concrete mixer alternate mode.
  He has also been known to insert solid objects—such as cars—into his mixing drum in order to turn out new building materials.
  
• Devastator (5 or 6 Constructicons)
  The team's combined form of Devastator is brutality in its purest form—his sole purpose is to destroy anything and everything that gets in his way. It is ironic that the suitably intelligent Constructicons should sacrifice their thinking ability in their combined form, but simple-mindedness is a common limitation of the assorted other first-generation combining Transformers, because Devastator's thoughts and actions are limited to what his six components can agree upon at any given time. Consequently, Devastator seems like a being of instinct, lashing out at everything around him before contemplating the consequences, but he is also slow and lumbering and very easy to trip up. It should also be noted that Devastator is composed of 6 individual robots, compared to most other combiner teams who had 5 components (the exception Piranacon). The only contradiction to Devastator's lack of a display of intelligence is in The Core, when his components' minds were temporarily controlled by the Autobots. He was able to detach the portion of himself made by Hook and complete a complex surgical procedure on Jazz (which put even Ratchet's skills to shame). When the surgery was complete, Hook returned to Devastator's combined form as if the whole operation was performed by the Autobot-controlled Devastator.

Linkin Park Soundwave

Predaking Plantinum Edition

Predaking is the perfect warrior. Powerful, remorseless, obedient, and nearly unstoppable, he hunts Autobots with a predatory intensity absent from even the most diabolical of his Decepticon peers. The massive x-ray laser he carries as a primary weapon is an instrument of singular destructive potential, capable of incinerating entire forests, liquefying steel and cement, and instantly turning an entire battlefield into a blasted landscape of rubble and fused glass.
