Barrage
Bringing this one back. Everyday this month a look at the Transformers, and we're kicking it off with a Deluxe Insecticon.
As far as the toy(s) go, there isn't much. The first figure was a repurposed Armored Insect Battalion Beetras figure Beet-Gadol, made by Takatoku Toys. Thanks to some legal issues, Bandai based figures weren't allowed to be promoted in Japan so yeah, Barrage was kind out of luck. The toy was pretty decent though, very possible and his transformed state of a rhinoceros beetle was well done too.
His file card paints him as a bit, well, the internet has the term 'more DAKKA' which sums him up pretty well. He isn't satisfied until the battlefield is one big hole and he doesn't care who gets in the way of his guns.
The comic was a nonstarter, at least until the Dreamwave comics but we'll get to them later and the same with the cartoon.
