    HasTak might largely ignore third party knock offs due to them not really affecting them all too much (Zeta Unicron being a notable exception due to being slated for release around the time they were doing the haslab which is presumably why they took that one down in specific so people wouldn't just get that rather than their crowdfund) but Bandai is unlikely to ignore a major competitor doing it. Otherwise you'd see shit like Bandai releasing the "Red and Blue Flatnose truck converting Gundam"

    Please, no. If I wanted Beast Wars, I would buy Beast Wars. The Insecticons should not look actually organic.

    Preach brother!

    I'm 99% confident that the "deluxe" Insecticons can be done reasonably well as retools of the more well-known Insecticons. New molds would be nice, but if retools are the only way it's happening I'm good with that

    Venom is the only one I have trouble seeing; Barrage and Chop Shop i can see being from bombshell and shrapnel

    The real question is: How do we get Needler?

    It's time to bring him into the fold as a fully fledged Insecticon, not just someone's hat.

    Ummmm... Venom could POSSIBLY be a heavy retool of Bombshell... They would have to set up the design and molds from the design phase of Bombshell, but something reasonably close to venom could be done that way.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ guess we'll have to wait on HasTak purchasing the Armored Insect Battalion Beetras license from them, then.

    I know I'm still waiting on Dreamworks to cooperate with Mattel for some She-Ra '18 figures. =(

    Have a look in your local JB Hi Fi. They now stock the 4-pack - just saw 2 of them in Mildura, so if you're in Brisbane you should have no trouble spotting some.

    Huffer came with a Spartan Laser, so I'm sure someone else will come with a Needler. Unless you meant the hatbug, then we're waiting until they do "Action Master Universe Bombshell" in the next line.

    I was thinking more as a full size Insecticon. A retool of Bombshell into a Scarab for example.

    still not accurate enough he should have proper bug legs, different wings, not just color and head, such a disappointment, i guess only "certain" g1 characters get to be accurate
