Shrapnel
Moving back into the Insecticons. A Diaclone 'Waruder Insector Roto Kuwagter' (basically a stag beetle). Basic figure, and like most Diaclone has a little cockpit for a pilot.
The file card paints him as obsessed with electricity. Which makes sense as he can control most electronic devices (which didn't come up as often as you would think).
The comics had him as an underling for Lord Straxus on Cybertron. He made it to issue 41 before being written off, so clearly not a favorite of the writers.
Voiced by Hal Rayle in the show, they had him repeating the last word said. Not sure why; after their first episode in season two Shrapnel was regulated to background stuff. He was seemingly killed in the movie but he showed up in some background shots in season three.
All told, a minor character and one that didn't seem to do all that much.
