Transformers Prime Insecticon Official Picture

I'm looking forward to seeing this dude in action on Saturday!

Holy crap.... I'm liking this new incarnation of the insecticons...

He gives everyone hugs, right?

Bob! I thought I taught you better then to take roids'? What would Sunstreaker think!????!!!! For that matter, what would Shrapnel think?

What is up with its hands? The fingers look fine but the thumb looks like it's half of a set of pincers.

I have to say though I'm liking the antennae and overall brutishness of it.

He's basically proportioned like HA Soundwave. Interesting.

I see model parts reuse, so I don't think he's a returning character.

He's not, he's just crouching.

Anybody remember that thread that talked about the strange multi-colored Decepticon in an add that was chasing Dan from Dan Vs.?

I think we found him.

What parts are reused? I can't spot any. I'm not too concerned though since I didn't expect him to be a recurring "character". Unless one of them follows Arcee and Jack to Earth they probably won't run into them again unless they need to return to Cybertron. Even if one did make it through taking it out would probably be a top priority. No big loss though. I doubt this thing will have much character, it's just something to menace Arcee and Jack while they're on Cybertron.

This is indeed that Decepticon.

You have a link to where you found it on tumblr?

Right here.

Man, he looks wicked. Can't wait to see him in action Saturday.

If Ironhide makes an appearence in the show I wouldn't hate to see a cartoon adaption of the Ironhide mini. Whos with me?

I think it might be on the Nemesis, and as I recall from the trailer, I believe we see the Nemesis explode.

Hmmm.

I certainly approve of its design!

it reminds me of Crankcase.

voyager toy please

Im sorry I just dont see Arcee putting up much of a fight against this new decepticon.

Don't really know if this needs any spoiler tags, but I'll play it safe.
Just took another look at the last episode and from those shoulders and the face, to me this looks like the "vermin" Arcee mentioned that started scuttling along under the bridge toward Kaon on Cybertron - guessing it bridges back with them.

You got the part about the bridge right, but i'm fairly sure we're talking scraplets as far as the "Vermin" goes. Since that's what they called them in scrapheap. I'd say we'll likely see some of them in the new episode again.

ummmmmmmmm

it's already posted in Prime Inspirational Pict Yesterday

Do death hugs count? ^^

It looks almost like the robot mode of the ROTF Scout Insecticon.

Sonova SWEET! I love this series. Its so dark and episodic. It only makes sense that the insecticons would show up since they will be a problem in Fall if Cybertron.

Now we just need the Dinobots, and we'll be set!

Toy please?

I think ill call him.....bill.
So now we have Steve the Vehicon.
And Bill the Insecticon^^
Next will be Rob the Zombie^^. oh wait. He appeared in Darkness Rising.

YAY SIDECHARACTER NAMES! They are the Derpy Hooves of Transformers^^

ALL FANS WILL LIKE THEM!!

That's what I was thinking too, and maybe he'll even get a mechtech gun somewhere down the line...

Probably is an insecticon origin.

This is sort of cool, but if all the "regular" Decepticon-types are going to have the same head/eyes, this is rather boring

I want to see more variety in the head/face/eyes. Pretty, pretty, plllllllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeee.

fucccck i hate the insecticons sorry but i just hate them

nice! toy now Kthxbye.

My first thought is cool want a toy pls followed by the depressing oh right Hasbro killed my interest in the Prime toyline by not making the vastly superior FE toys widely available....QQ

I never liked the G1 insecticons, but this one looks cool. Can't wait till Sat.

Am I the only one reminded of PCC Sledge (with the super-mode head, as I always have mine)? Broad, colors are a rough match, heads are very similar (down to those horns that Sledge has), plus the yellow spikes on the shoulders are a rough match for the scoop halves on Sledge's shoulders. Of course that's a coincidence, I'm not insane enough to think that they went "Yep. THAT's a character we need to homage."

DUDE. Nice!

Looks awesome, can't wait to see him in action!

We've already seen that scene of an explosion aboard the Nemesis. I'm pretty sure this is still on Cybertron.

I still dont get why they have to make something be HULKISH to be menacing. Id loved to see a more less menacing sized insecticon and give him a jack the ripper like persona. Mindless hulkish metal bugs interest me not.

Guess its a wait n see

Past screenshots showed a smaller/thiner/sleeker insecticon type too. I think Insecticons/Whatever those things are will come in various sizes and types.

Guess folks are dying to troop build this now...

Looks cool - I'm looking forward to see how they handle this (these?) guy(s).

I kind of hope they've got some intelligence, and aren't just a bunch of slobbering messes. We've already got that with the zombie-bots...

I doubt the Autobots are using vermin as one name for one threat, but rather an all-encompassing name for grouping pests, like we do to rats, mice, cockroaches, and etc.

I agree, she's going to have a tough time.

Kickback is that you?

Looks fucking bad-ass as hell.

Looks great! Almost positive that the "vermin" Arcee was referring to is this guy(s). Still getting the impression there are more than one of these scuttling around ready to cause trouble for Arcee and jack, but based on his size and seeming ferocity perhaps one is enough!

Reminds me of transmetal tarantulas

Damn the Transformers leave Cybertron for a while and Waspinator starts hitting the 'roids.

Should be fun to see how this unfolds since Cybertron doesn't seem to be the dead planet that Prime made it out to be. Looking like Cybertron holds lots of dangers which is a nice concept in case they ever have to go back for anything else. Or if the Insecticons are intelligent that's a new danger if they start looking for a way to Earth.
