Woah! I had no idea! Pretty neat. I’ll keep this one with the red hammer guy from the titans returny era… maybe display em both with my Newage Solus prime 🤔
My favourite fun fact about Barrage, is that he has only one media appearance, and it's Family Guy skit about Transformers. Just chilling at the background, with much more famous Decepticons. Still more than Ransack and Chopshop ever got, i guess.
Its funny, i like the regular Insecticons because of their color uniformity as a team, but i like the Deluxe Insecticons because they are all unique. Its like the regular boys are Decepticons first who happen to be bugs, and these guys are a special unit who were bug guys who formed a team.
Thought I'd try the drinking game... Should have taken smaller sips because I downed an entire 12 oz glass by the end and now I'm very, very glad it was a glass of water.
I always liked the look of the deluxe Insecticons as a kid. It's wild to me that they were from some completely unrelated toyline and not-Microman/not-dialclone because they seem to match up so well with the actual Insecticons.
I'd love for them to do an "Ultimate G1" show that retells "G1" "today," and if they want to do some Abramsverse Trek time travel in the background to explain why G1 is also cannon (and for crossovers); great. But as a prelude to this G1, I'd love a Dinobots palate cleanser that features a mash of the Marvel and IDW dinobots origins on a Sunbow-esque Dinobot Island doing their best Skull Island. I mention this because I think Insecticons, lead by Scorponok alongside a G1ified Tarantulus in G1 Insecticon colors would serve as a fair set of villains - separate from the Ark/Nemesis Crews, but with Dinobots and Insecticons able to be folded in as appropriate to the "Ultimate G1" alongside a timely reissue of their hopefully popular toys. (The Legacy Insecticons are pretty awesome; I could see some redesigns for such a show, but honestly if they want to focus on giving us 3D/2V and 3V/2L class Dinobots, some deluxe cybertronian Dynobots featured in a flashback, a V G1 Tarantulus, and a L Scorponok but just give us slight redeco/retools of the Legacy insecticons, I'd be all for it.) Insecticon "clones/drones" seem like perfect fodder for the Dinobots to bash through on their way to beat (comic book scale) Scorponok and his attempt to... drain resources from this mysterious alien island, probably seeded by Shockwave or somebody with super energon or something... Give me some plucky Indiana Jones-esque family for the Dinobots to bounce off of, and you've got yourself a high concept 6-12 episode serialized miniseries with a lot of action beats, as Grimlock needs to recruit the old gag and gets into some fights with his dinobot pals before uniting them to take on the baddies.
I just got this set today thanks to the Amazon sale. Nice to have the set as I too own Ransack. Who needs purple bugs when you got this far more interesting set of bugs.
I unironically bought this set just for the hammer because i wanted it to go with the Primes when they come out. I was gonna sell off the bugs, but then i got Ransack for practically free and figured i might as well keep them lol
Damn! That’s so interesting! Some others in these comments said pretty much the same thing. Transformers really targets peoples wants both big and small!
I picked up the fansproject 3 pack of these guys years ago and just adore their vibe, dont think I'll double dip for this set but chop shop is super tempting
Nice! I had the insecticon colored versions of those fansproject figures, good stuff but there’s something so much more solid about these guys imo. Much smaller tho lol
Bugs! Turns out being left out of the 80s cartoon doesn't do wonders for their popularity. At least Venom somehow got into one of those cassette storybooks
So true, also people love a team and the insecticons are visually and thematically a cohesive unit. These guys are bright, fun and poppy but on paper they don’t IMMEDIATELY look like a team to the laymen. But they FEEL great as a unit, strange to put into words but iykyk lol
@@NiStuff yeah, I hope they get adapted for the screen some day as a whole unit. I know Chop Shop had an interesting reimagining and Barrage somehow snuck into a Family Guy background, but if Darkwing of all bots can get dialogue in a blockbuster movie, I think these guys can all get a day in the limelight (maybe more).
I think a couple of the Deluxe Insectibros worked for Lockdown in IDW? Free-headcannon: These guys were busy gooning for Straxus on Cybertron the whole time.
Apparently Malleus Minotaurus is a wrecker artifact who was once Solus Prime's helper at the forge.

Yo! That's pretty cool!
@@NiStuff there's supposed to be an official Hasbro figure of Solus Prime coming out next year. I hope it's good. I like her
@@Norrisc761 ooooooh interesting!
The colours pop so well on these figs. 10/10.
Seriously, love their poppy colors

Damm that is a fun fact!
Deep cut!
Chopshop was featured in a few episodes of RID 2015.
@@strawdeath263 original or namesake?
@@ZukoPrince kinda both. He was a combiner of sorts, but he was the size of a normal bot. He turned into 6 bugs.
I was laughing out loud at the people with skin color not matching comment. So good

Expertly said!
Solid video! These guys are pretty fun. And yeah Barrage definitely goes by Barry when he’s off duty
Hell yeah, love it

Wow! Yeah, that all sounds great! Anything with Tarantulas in it is good in my book!
I would love an All Of Em I Got for Autobot Tracks that would be a fun episode 👌
🎶secret satchel 🎶
I want to pick up the Doom n Destruction pack, but I can't find it at a good price at the moment.
🎶 🎶
And yeah that’s another great box set!
Primarily I wanted the hammer but over time I wanted the bugs more and more
The hammer def has some fans in these comments so youre in good company!
I just got this set today thanks to the Amazon sale. Nice to have the set as I too own Ransack. Who needs purple bugs when you got this far more interesting set of bugs.
Awesome! And yeah sometimes variety hits!
Recently, ive come across your channel because im looking for seeker toys. Been entertained so yeah subbed.
Can't wait for venom to complete the group
Same
me when I'm collecting every Sony superhero movie on Blu Ray:
The first transformer I remember getting was Venom. Where is my Venom, habro? Where is my Venom?
Where is @fen4554 ‘s VENOM?!
I unironically bought this set just for the hammer because i wanted it to go with the Primes when they come out. I was gonna sell off the bugs, but then i got Ransack for practically free and figured i might as well keep them lol
Damn! That’s so interesting! Some others in these comments said pretty much the same thing. Transformers really targets peoples wants both big and small!
Strangley im most excited for the little hammer guy, the blast effects are very useful for toy photography
Youre not the only one saying so, my bad lol there really is something for everyone everywhere it seems!
Same, hate bugs irl but bug toys n stuff are cool af
Wonder what that’s about, brain funny.

That hammer guy is pretty cool, I like his little tail that is also handle, and the bug boys sure are buggy
I have the red one too… I should keep em together before they fall into the accessory void lol
good to see u back reviewing some bugs
Hell yeah! 🪲🪳🦟
Fun fact; the only Insecticon that is an actual bug is Venom, who hasn’t yet been updated.
Ooooh love a fun fact
Uh did I miss the part when they were transformed into bugs?
Nope
You should have shown them transformed
You should have transformed them.
Oh his name is definitely Barry 😂
Hell yeah
Ransack has Eczema never would have guessed 😂

Commenting for the algorithm bugs

Always need more Tarantulas. How is that third party one?
Stunning in hand, honestly.
What happened to transforming them..
Were u promised transformations?
More drinking games please!
🤣👍🫡
Hope you're having a good day
Same to u
I get not caring about car modes, but no bug modes? They're like huge, plastic, colorful bugs, what's not to love?
I love them.
@@NiStuff I just wanted to see the bugs :c
Insecticon+?
Almost like a *Deluxe* Insecticon????
The deluxe-est
