I'd hope to see a couple of big heavies at least, Blackout base attack style. Hopefully there won't be load of drones, but if there are it'd be good if they were better designed and had more variation.
There's also the security truck/van that's been confirmed to be a Con IIRC. But yeah I'm hopeful for some more unique Decepticon characters, surely they have a couple up their sleeves, if only to boost the toy lines for Hasbro.
That is a pretty sweet theory. I can kind of see the logic in it. Doubt they'll be called "Insecticons," but those three names could stick and the toys do kind of look right in bot mode...
At this point it might be better to just ask for generic non-discript clones because even if they are characters they will just end up with some lame death like they did with Ravage, Blackout, or Devastator. It's almost like there is some movie rule that says unless your name is Megatron then you get to pop up, do one cool thing, and then you have to be ineffective and just waiting to die the rest of the film unless they forgot you were in the film. Even poor Starscream went from something Ironhide worried about in the first movie to not even scratching the paint on the Twins in the second film.
I dunno, Ravage's death was pretty badass. Bee ripped his freaking spinal cord out Predator style. Probably one of the best Con deaths thus far.
Also, Devastator was blown up by one hell of a big weapon. But he should have been killed by Jetfire in his awesomeness.
Maybe the three SUVs will have the individual Insecticon names, but as a group, they will be referred to as "The Dreads."
Yes but he still got killed by Bumblebee! I don't care how much of a hard-ass Bee is suppoesed to be in the movies if I got kill by Bumblebee I would come back to life just so I could die from embaressment!
Truth be told, as weak as they are Movie Decepticons got the coolest deaths ever. The Fallen is probably bragging in robot hell about how freaking violent his death was.

I don't disagree that death at the hands of Bee is dishonorable. But it was still a pretty brutal way to die and far less humiliating than being taken out by humans.
im banking on a lot of cgi'd decepticons...and dont forget how limited release info on the original decepticons, specifically the military vehicles, was.
I wouldn't mind some more cannon fodder; it just shows off how alien these things can look. Anyways, as far as we know, Megs, Screamer, Sound-and-Shock-wave, the Dreads, the armoured bank truck (who I have dubbed "Payback" in case he's unnamed), and those two robot "assassins". And as they said NEST had to infiltrate Chicago packed with Cons, I'd say about 15 more Cons. Such a great mold though, why wouldn't they bring it back? I mean sure, it doesn't make sense to some of the audience, but who cares; I wanna see that bad ass chopper slice something up with its propeller weapon! Then again, weren't there two of those Choppers spotted flying around in Chicago filming? ... Twice the epicness perhaps? ;D
It would've been better if the robots themselves had been whittled down slowly, and then killed. As awesome as their deaths were, they did look weak considering it only took a couple shots to bring some of them down. Imagine all the Decepticons taking as much heat as Brawl did in TF1, and then getting their deaths. Now THAT'S kick-ass.
It's the Inverse Ninja Theory. The more bad guys there are, the weaker they are. Brawl was completely alone in his fight, thus his plot armor was at full strength.
