What happened to the Insecticons?

SaberPrime · 05-05-2012, 03:47 AM

There's a theory that the Insecticons are all clones. Some where the original Insecticon who I'm going to call Bombshell is feeling all the pain of the other Insecticons getting killed over and over again. This came after seeing how Starscream was suffering from his clones being killed. So the theory is that every time a batch of clones gets killed future clones become weaker. So like the one that was fighting Megatron was a first generation clone made when Bombshell was in his prime no pun intended, while the weaker Insecticons are like 5th generation clones.

Of course this is all just trying to come up with some possible explanation out of very limited information.

I like this theory. I don't think it's crazy it makes sense.

They probably have different mentality when they are grouped as compared to being alone. Individual, realizes that survival is key, and it needs to make sure it does everything possible. As a group, it has to think that it doesn't need to put as much effort, because they feel the numbers game would work. Hence, why they get offed so quickly. I think that is a sound theory.

Watch one kick Arcee's ass again tonight. But it better watch out for Bumblebee's kick of justice.

They stopped taking their daily injections of PCP.

...

Yeah, it was probably terrible writing.

Sounds reasonable.

If i'm not mistaken, Megs is the only one to have engaged an Insecticon in prolonged hand to hand combat, in which case the Insecticon has a clear advantage.

The Autobots packed the Eradicating Aerosol magic card in their deck for just this kind of occasion.
