    I didn’t even know the deluxe Insecticons existed until this thread.

    I don't think they ever appeared in the show (season 3's foggy), but they were the superior G1 figures. I mean, you kinda have to be into bugs more than jets and cars, but they were very awesome toys for the mid 80s.

    Some of them had unprecedented articulation for the time. Barrage even had fully articulated alt mode legs.

    Not high on my list but if they aren't recolors of the main 3 wouldn't mind getting them. The Decepticon faction needs some more soldiers even if they do the Rainmakers and the Welcoming Committee.

    Chopshop for me! Maybe even a nice design of the ladybug we never got from that line. I had Venom, Chopshop, and Ransack when they were out, CS was the coolest looking (even though he couldn’t raise his arms) and Venom had the best colors.

    If they did the ladybug that would be icing on the cake.

    Until NA releases a Soundwave and cassettes the Insecticons are the best they have put out IMO.

    I haven't seen the Insecticons in hand yet so I couldn't say how good they are but NA seekers are amazing MP quality at legends size

    I love the NA Insecticons and think their tininess is part of their charm, I love how small yet awesome they are.

    luckily for them they were able to take a little bit from everything that has been released for these bugs.

    Hold up... you don't like the price (I'm assuming because you think it's too high) the Insecticons released by the company that did the actual work to make them but you'll happily buy an upscaled KO "no matter the cost". I'm really confused here.

    what dont you understand about my comment? i feel the insecticons are way overpriced. but it is what it is and with that said i welcome the inevitable upsize or bumping off of the mold.

    also NA really didnt do much for the bugs except shrink down existing transformations that existed already.

    You say you like them, but do you *have* them?

    What I don't understand is your comment about buying an upscaled KO on site no matter the cost after complaining that the price of the original is too high. You imply that you'd happily pay even more for the KO than you would for the original. That's what I'm confused about.
