All we need is a new Venom figure next year, and we'll have new versions of all the Deluxe Insecticons for the first time ever, since their only other Deluxe sized figures were the originals, 40 years ago.
Ever since I watched this guy since 2014. Nothing ever changes. I’m glad that Lego figure is saying words before intro. Glad to see he’s still around 🙌🙏🙏
I opened both Doom and Destruction sets today and both had misassemblies. Breakdown had a leg attached incorrectly, easy fix. But Barrage has two left shoulders. Already contacted Hasbro customer support.
It’s definitely a nice little pack. My only trouble is that Barrage has one misassembled shoulder, got flipped by the looks of it, thus making it go lower than it should which means transformation isn’t cleanly achievable without forcing things badly. Can still get him in bug mode without it locking though which is good, along with it not too noticeable in bot mode since it’s lower by barely a millimeter.
Chop Shop & Barrage have bugged me crazy in "Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron" & "Transformers: Rise Of The Dark Spark" as in the video games they were the Insecticon minions of Sharpnel, Bombshell & Kickback.
I got that 4 figure set with Ransack mainly because I wanted the Goldbug figure and it just worked out I didn't own any version of the other 3 molds in the set. That Ransack convinced me to pick up Dropkick because I didn't want to like the simplicity of the figure but it ended up being just a fun, straight forward toy. Sometimes I forget that simple toys can be just as great as clever complex toys. Ended up with a set of the new Insecticons and might eventually try to get these figures someday if I can find them for a decent price.
Dropkick? Who? I've got Dropkick, but the SS70-something one. You mean him, or someone else? Ohh! Do you mean LGY Kickback? Also, I got the 4-pk for Goldbug (didn't have anyone from the mold or a main Bee), then Goldbug and Ransack became my favorites of the set. Ransack is just a fun bug guy! I really need to grab this set for (Ransack's friends) Chop-Shop and Barrage. Now we need Venom to complete the team! I really wanna grab Bombshell (cuz hes my fav), maybe Shrapnel, and Kickback (now I know how the mold works).
Chopshop’s extra legs make his beetle mode better, since using the Shrapnel legs on his back turn him into an 8 legged arachnid. Also he is too wide for them to look right.
Ransack is in a set of four with repaints of BW waspinator, BW scorponok, and the Goldbug VW bee repaint. I think it was supposed to be a target “exclusive,” and it’s a buzzworthy bee release. I have one, but personally I still want to keep it, but also get standard kickback and bombshell because I was never able to get bombshell for MSRP unfortunately.
If we do get a Venom, do ya think a redeco of him as Tripredacus zcicadacon would happen? They could redeco Barrage into Ramhorn to go with him. Sea Clamp is a harder to.imagine.
Real talk I want someone to make the updated leg pieces as upgrades for the original Bombshell/Shrapnel figures. Those really help sell the bug modes more
Happy 4th of July! I love mine. I've been waiting forever for updates of this trio of Insecticons. Sadly I'm missing that Buzz Worthy Bumblebee Creatures Collide multi 4pack Ransack too. I'm disappointed that they didn't get they're own molds. Sadly thus is the fate of exclusives these days. Hopefully this will be the foot in the door they need to get more proper figures in the future. Thankfully our 4th insecticon Venom is getting a his own mold in next year's generations Prime line. So at least we can look forward to that. That reminds me I need to replace my G1 insecticon preciouses too. Oh my poor wallet has never felt this stressed before.... LOL 😂
Honestly, I don't think anyone owns the G1 versions, which is a pity. I think that there were four robots in the Deluxe Insecticons, and they looked far more realistic than the black/purple/silver ones that were more famous.
I've got Ransack from the 4-pk. Love him. These guys look awesome. So, I definitely need these guys! Chop-Shop and Barrage shall join the collection! Now we need Venom! Also, Happy July 4th, everyone!
I just opened and displayed my set today. Sadly, the Bombshell/Barrage are examples of how mold reuse can create proportion issues. Because the legs are Shrapnels' they make the beetle butt disproportionately large. A slight alteration to the legs could have fixed that and given them a smoother profile. That said, I do like these figures and characters, I just think Barrage/Bombshell could have looked better.
My Chop Shop came with right side flip out back bug legs on both sides. So the left side bug legs don't sit perfectly but I don't feel like going through the hassle of replacing it so I ask instead, Malius Minotaurus, Smash or Pass?
Hey emgo, are you gonna get the commander class Optimus prime? If you'll get it please make a review. Thanks. God bless and regards to Lori and mascot. Keep up the good work.
Gotta say, I just am not digging the super THICKKKKK bug mode. Loving the look of the repaints on the 'bot modes though. But its not gonna replace my previous updated ones.
Been trying to get my hands on this set. I wannit! My Ransack from the Creatures Collide set needs some bug buddies! EDIT: Amazon exclusive?! it was that easy?!
i always enjoy his reviews but i found it particularily amusing how completely ignored the Mayhem Attack Squad symbols when he went into detail of the their respective paintjobs...i wonder why he did that
If anyone sells you Ransack alone, it's because they love you and your reviews, because no one else has gotten away from paying the 4-pack tax! OTOH, at least you get a Goldbug too.
"Correction !!" There are actually four deluxe insecticons three already have updated figures which of course include Chop Shop , Barrage and Ransack but the forth one , Venom has been listed to come out in the 2025 prime line .
Ill be honest im really happy their making figures for more and more characters and not just the same 40 characters we see all the time
SAME even if some of them don’t come out the best, we do a lot new characters and some characters people have wanted to get for years
"Go see Starscream... He's full of it!" 🤣🤣🤣
Hey!...😣😣😣
I wonder why Barrage stay silent?
Your reviews are awesome to watch. You don’t overly complain and nitpick things. Great review Emgo!
Nice to see Gravity Beetle and Boomer Kuwanger make an appearance!
As a Megaman X fan, I respect this call
All we need is a new Venom figure next year, and we'll have new versions of all the Deluxe Insecticons for the first time ever, since their only other Deluxe sized figures were the originals, 40 years ago.
Venom already leaked
Ever since I watched this guy since 2014. Nothing ever changes. I’m glad that Lego figure is saying words before intro. Glad to see he’s still around 🙌🙏🙏
The Bug deceptions looks good.
I am receiving the other 2 pack hopefully on Monday and looking forward to pre-ordering the Ruckus and Bludgeon 2 pack
Emgo always coming in clutch with the late night uploads 🤝🤟
JUSTICE FOR MASCOT...!
He finally gets to see some bugs get squashed! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Track down Ransack, man. Venom is coming, and it would be nice for you to have the whole Insecticons swarm.
awesome job about Legacy United Deluxe Class CHOP SHOP and BARRAGE Action Figure from Transformers
Got to admit, they did a great job with the Deluxe Insecticons. Certainly prefer the look and colors, especially those nice clear sections. Lovely!
Ransack, where is he?
Probably the bin of forgotten figures lol
Edit: ah, emgo said at the end that he doesn't have it. Never got the 4 pack
I got these toys before Emgo could make a video on them? Unbelievable.
I opened both Doom and Destruction sets today and both had misassemblies. Breakdown had a leg attached incorrectly, easy fix. But Barrage has two left shoulders. Already contacted Hasbro customer support.
Earthspark Grimlock:"Too many Retools!"
I believe I have an extra Ransack that I was meaning to put up on ebay. We might be able to work something out for sure
It’s definitely a nice little pack. My only trouble is that Barrage has one misassembled shoulder, got flipped by the looks of it, thus making it go lower than it should which means transformation isn’t cleanly achievable without forcing things badly.
Can still get him in bug mode without it locking though which is good, along with it not too noticeable in bot mode since it’s lower by barely a millimeter.
It's cool these are coming out though as I just completed my G1 Deluxe Insecticon set wit a fantastic Chopshop!
The color scheme almost looks like Cicadacon and Ramhorn, maybe if they dabbled with a Scorpinoc mold would have made something like Tripedacus.
Chop Shop & Barrage have bugged me crazy in "Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron" & "Transformers: Rise Of The Dark Spark" as in the video games they were the Insecticon minions of Sharpnel, Bombshell & Kickback.
I had chop shop as kid. Don’t remember him being that close of a retool. lol

I do have a Ransack I'm not really attached to, but there's the problem of sending it to another continent and stuff.
Crazy if they did the these guys in Insecticon colors to be more cohesive with the OG G1 blk purple, ransack too
Chopshop’s extra legs make his beetle mode better, since using the Shrapnel legs on his back turn him into an 8 legged arachnid. Also he is too wide for them to look right.
These guys look great! I hope they re-release Ransack in a two-pack with the one remaining member of this group: Venom.
Ransack is in a set of four with repaints of BW waspinator, BW scorponok, and the Goldbug VW bee repaint. I think it was supposed to be a target “exclusive,” and it’s a buzzworthy bee release.

Sea Clamp is a harder to.imagine.
Are you planning to review wind sweeper and prime Breakdown next
Hey Emgo I just had a funny idea for the next mascot review... Make him review a set of insecticons and don't tell him until you start recording.😉😆
😂 love you!!
I suspect we'll get some third party parts to improve these guys. New weapons, new parts for Barrage to fix Emgo's issues, stuff like that.
1:05 it says doom & destruction on the box so it should happen they are both doomed now
Maleus Minotaurus has the symbol for Solus Prime on his forehead. (Same logo design from Power of The Primes.)
There are 4 deluxe insecticons. Venom is supposed to be coming down the line
Real talk I want someone to make the updated leg pieces as upgrades for the original Bombshell/Shrapnel figures. Those really help sell the bug modes more
Happy 4th of July!
I love mine. I've been waiting forever for updates of this trio of Insecticons. Sadly I'm missing that Buzz Worthy Bumblebee Creatures Collide multi 4pack Ransack too.

Maleous Minotaurus has Solus Prime's emblem on his head... I think he's meant to be the Forge of Solus!
I Just noticed if you paint Barrage red and Chop Shop blue and you get the Kabuto and Gatack Zecters
I wouldn't be surprised if they re-release Ransack in a 2 pack with Venom.
Now i want to see them in Kamen Rider Kabuto and Kamen Rider Gattack colours
You are to good 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
Honestly, I don't think anyone owns the G1 versions, which is a pity. I think that there were four robots in the Deluxe Insecticons, and they looked far more realistic than the black/purple/silver ones that were more famous.

Also, Happy July 4th, everyone!
Got mine last week, love em. I'm still salty they put so much effort into the bugs but windsweeper doesn't even get new guns though
I just opened and displayed my set today.
Sadly, the Bombshell/Barrage are examples of how mold reuse can create proportion issues. Because the legs are Shrapnels' they make the beetle butt disproportionately large. A slight alteration to the legs could have fixed that and given them a smoother profile.
That said, I do like these figures and characters, I just think Barrage/Bombshell could have looked better.
I personally believe that g1 Barrage had a better transformation then this latest Barrage.
Change: Beetle!
Change: Stag Beetle!
Whooo looks like we gettin an Octopunch
Weren't there 4 Deluxe Insecticons originally back in the day? I think his name is Venom and he was a robot cicada
Yup. He’s coming next year
I like barrage better. His screw holes don't bother me. Also, his insect mode is kinda cute.
I'm still debating on getting these buggy boys😂
My Chop Shop came with right side flip out back bug legs on both sides. So the left side bug legs don't sit perfectly but I don't feel like going through the hassle of replacing it so I ask instead, Malius Minotaurus, Smash or Pass?
Hi Emgo, are you going to review Legacy Breakdown and Windsweeper?
Yes I am
Are you getting the other two sets?
and in the episode we have last bot standing 🙂
Hey emgo, are you gonna get the commander class Optimus prime? If you'll get it please make a review. Thanks. God bless and regards to Lori and mascot. Keep up the good work.
Gotta say, I just am not digging the super THICKKKKK bug mode. Loving the look of the repaints on the 'bot modes though. But its not gonna replace my previous updated ones.
Malleus Minotarus , what part of the female reproductive system is that again?
I hope next review is the “bully cliffjumper pack”
Been trying to get my hands on this set. I wannit! My Ransack from the Creatures Collide set needs some bug buddies!
EDIT: Amazon exclusive?! it was that easy?!
Same! I've got Ransack and I need his friends! Next, Venom!
How about a robots in disguise series well at least Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus
Unrelevant though but Barrage looks like the Kabuto Zecter from Kamen Rider Kabuto
I gotta have me more Insecticons. I don't know why Minotaurus is with this duo. The only G1 I have is Kickback.
wait a minute flashbacks to hurricanger
heracross and pinser repaints
I'm surprised 3P haven't tackled these characters yet.
Fansproject did a set back in 2012 though it was only Barrage, Chop Shop, and Ransack. Really wished they had done Venom as well.
@@_Jetbolt_ Dang you're right. Was so long ago I forgot about them.
Happy 4th of July!
i always enjoy his reviews but i found it particularily amusing how completely ignored the Mayhem Attack Squad symbols when he went into detail of the their respective paintjobs...i wonder why he did that
I wonder if they're gonna make Ransack.
Maybe you mean Venom? They did Ransack in a pack a couple of years ago with Goldbug, Scorponok, and a Skywarp colored version of the Waspinator mold.
Maybe try releasing your skits as separate videos....have fun
Why the random wrecker though
When are you going to do another mascot review
When he finds the inspiration to make one i.e. when he finds a really gimmicky toy that he can make fun of.
What seris was these 2 from. I heard of them before
Looking at tfwiki. its from takatoku toys.
I know they are in idw comics, and I think fall of cybertron
I'm still an RID fan
Im just going to reverse barrage
Updated
You don’t have Ransack?
nope
If anyone sells you Ransack alone, it's because they love you and your reviews, because no one else has gotten away from paying the 4-pack tax! OTOH, at least you get a Goldbug too.
Next Bludgeon and Ruckus upcoming
They look cool. Ruckus was almost unrecognizable as Beachcomber (mold). But, I actually like the Evo Bludgeon more.
I wonder who they’ll use to make Venom 🤔
It’s going to be released as a mass market figure next year not as a store exclusive so it might be a brand new mold
Eddie Brock. 😆
New mold, hopefully. Ransack, Barrage, and Chop-Shop can use preexisting molds, but Venom probably can't.
@@FennekinTF Venom's Generations toy was a remold of Waspinator so it can be done as a remold if they want. I'm hoping they don't though
@@Kyle_The_Mighty Yea. Me too. I really hope hes a new mold.
"Correction !!" There are actually four deluxe insecticons three already have updated figures which of course include Chop Shop , Barrage and Ransack but the forth one , Venom has been listed to come out in the 2025 prime line .
Hey wait you Missing Ransack from the Buzzworthy Bumblebee set.
