Bombshell
Looking at a proper Insecticon this time.
Starting out as Kabutron, being part of the Diaclone Waruder Insecter Robo line, he went from robot to a rhinoceros beetle. Cockpit aside, a simple but decent figure.
He did have another toy, an Action Master figure in 1991 but that was only released in Europe.
The file card has him being a master of mind control, using his little bombshells to take over his victim's minds. A nasty little bit of work.
In the comics, Bombshell was introduced as a loyal member of Lord Straxus's camp. He later switched sides to Megatron and even worked with Cobra for a bit, where his mind control potential was used to its fullest. After that he drifted into the background before Fortress Maximus blasted him into scrap.
The cartoon, where he was voiced by Michael Bell, followed many previous characters. He shows up powerfully early on before drifting into the background. He died in the movie yet somehow got better for later episodes.
