Hello. I saw this character on a T-Shirt with a collage of other characters and of course naturally i wanted to name all of them. I could name every single character but this ONE guy. I think he’s a Decpecticon but I have no idea who. I don’t recognize him! Help please!

 

Ah! One of the insecticons from 1985! That's an oldie!

 

Venom was his name, i believe

 

Yes, that's the Insecticon leader, Venom (or Venin in modern media).

 

WOW! I CANNOT believe I’ve never heard of or seen this guy before. Only insect icons I’ve ever known we’re Shrapnel/Sharpshot, Hardshell/Bombshell, and Kickback.

 

Well let me show you the rest of the line besides those!

Venom (G1) - Transformers Wiki
Barrage (Insecticon) - Transformers Wiki
Chop Shop (G1) - Transformers Wiki
\Ransack (G1) - Transformers Wiki

 

 

Wow. Some “diehard,” true fan I turned out to be

 

Hey man, I only knew this because i stumbled upon it in some big G1 Toy manual i found at my local library a while back lol
