TFtember: A Plague of Insecticons

"A Plague of Insecticons" the Transformers, Dec. 29, 1984

A new challenger approaches!


On the small island of Bali, there are reports of metal insects rampaging across the country. Spike overhears the reports and soon a team is dispatched. 

Pity Spike wasn't the only one listening to reports. Laserbeak is also checking out the channel and soon a team of Decepticons is checking out the hive, only to discover it isn't a hive but rather an escape pod from the Decepticon's own ship. Seems the 'cons that were inside scanned the local insect population instead of vehicles for their forms, thus making them Insecticons. 

When the Autobots arrive for a fight, can they handle the newest Decepticons?

Pretty good. The three Insecticons don't have the most distinct personalities, but they are established as a credible threat even if their size seems to vary between scenes.
