    So I'm trying to figure out which figures, exactly, constitute the Insecticons in the Generatrions (and sub) lines.

    So, if I have this correct, it is...

    Bombshell: https://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Generations-Legends-Insecticon-Bombshell/dp/B00NYSQRS4
    Skrapnel: https://www.amazon.com/Transformers...qid=1474784373&sr=1-1-spell&keywords=skrapenl
    Kickback: Cybertron Con 2016 Titans Return Reveals Official Images - Transformer World 2005 - TFW2005.COM

    Are these three figures "the" Generations Insecticons? I'm having a hard time justifying $40 bucks for Skrapnel after paying $6 for Bombshell. Just want a little reassurance if I could.

    Thank you in advance :)

    The Adventure version is the best of the two decoes...Adventure Skrapnel & Bombshell look good together...suppose it may even be better to hold out to see if once Kickback is released...they might drop a three pack in matching decoes...

    Yes, these are the Generations-branded "CHUG" versions of the Insecticons. Skrapnel has long since disappeared from shelves, so he might turn out a little pricier. Though you might find cheaper alternatives on eBay.

    I have an extra Skrapnel, loose and no accessories. PM me if you're interested.

    Dang. I JUST picked a Skrapnel on Amazon for about $16. I just checked the place I bought it from, and they were out. Sorry, dude. I tried for ya.

    Nice grab on that! Skrapnel's price is going to go up and down for quite some time. He skyrocketed when Bombshell came out, then dropped back down, then went skyhigh with Kickback's reveal, now is slowly coming back down... but expect him to go for insane amounts when Kickback is released.
