The faction logo comes the Wreckers Tread & Circuits, it the logo for the 2019 iteration of Mayhem and it only lasted for 4 issues. I been collecting the characters that originated from Bandai and their characters bios appealed to me a lot.

While Malleus works as a Forge, I like to think he's meant to be Breakdown's hammer. Because the Wreckers could not use the Forge well, let's get that right.

The Kickback head isn’t for Ransack, it’s for Kickback so you can have a Kickback with his G1 toy colors head

Malleus Minotaurus was Solus prime's helper who was kidnapped from the Wreckers by The Mayhem Attack Squad. The smaller blast effect didn't come with Smashdown. The other charcater from the two-pack is Prime Universe Breakdown.

Well seeing how next years line is being based on the thirteen primes , Malleus was probably thrown in as a last second easter egg for the next line and the symbol on Malleus his head is Solus Prime's symbol not an autobot symbol seeing how Malleus transformers into the Forge of Solus .

There was suppose to be a FEMALE insect mech from the original toyline the Deluxe Insecticons came from. Maybe if Venom is a new mold (and not a retool) and Hasbro plans ahead, maybe they could make that missing Insecticon character.

I heard that he will be in a 3rd part to this doom and destruction set. The way the rumours are always flying I've probably missed the update that you've mentioned.

Venom is the leader, right? You know he pissed some other Decepticon warlord off thus he don't get no figs

He has gotten figures in the past, but under an altered name. They were avoiding legal issues using the same name of a marvel character for a while. They must have gotten the right to use the name again for him. Especially since his figure for next year is Venom again.

He got a listing recently

the tenticle symbol on the box is from Octopunch the leader of Mayhem if i got my facts right. took me a minute to realize that his chest is actually the back of Bombshell and his back in Bombshells chest lol Chop Shop is cool too. love these figures. now we need Venom and our Insecticons will be complete. =)

18:07 you’re asking what those are for- they are supposed to tab together and plug into the robot mode crotch in bug mode, so it becomes the locust abdomen that ransack’s original toy had, that kickback’s did not. Also, the antennae do flip around for the locust mode.

These insecticons, at least the names, retools of the cartoon show robots. Weren’t they basically similar to Jetfire/Skyfire? I remember buying them at Kay Bee toy store under a different toymaker. Also these 3 insecticons were also available through Hasbro back in the 80s by mailing in points similar to Reflector and the deluxe Autobots. Different transformations back I the 80s though for Barrage and Chop Shop.

Hey Balt! I’ve found a cool way to deal with Chopshops weapons to differentiate him further from shrapnel is to use the bug-leg guns as dual pistols, while putting shrapnels original gun on his back facing downwards- there’s *JUST* enough room between the bug legs on his back for the shrapnel gun to fit there.

These guys look incredible. It'll be nice to have a non-broken Barrage, since my G1's been missing his bug snout for many years. Also, if we get a Venom, I will be sooooooooooo happy.

I missed out on the creatures collide boxset so I dont have ransack but that said, I still want this 2-pack. The deluxe insecticons are more visually appealing and unique imo

I like how on barrage the front of what was bombshell becomes the back of barrage and the back the front. Can't wait to get these. Also those guns with barge can be pegged on to either side of the other gun can't they? And then be pegged in the top for weapon storage instead of off the back of the feet. Great video, been waiting to see someone review them. There is also a 3rd part of this collection that was revealed and will feature venom and someone else that I don't know as it wasn't mentioned, it was also mentioned that he'll be a waspinator retool

The Mayhem Attack Squad is led by a Pretender named Octopunch. That’s likely why the whole thing is octopus themed

Skull feels like Deathshead, but Lockdown was the last one to take that spot. That only really leaves Skullgrin and Bludgeoned, and we already burned thru those. Having a skull for a face turned out to be more popular than I thought, but now I'm stumped.

Good looking new molds from the original bug guys. Especially having the actual insect legs instead of guns for legs.

Like The Wreckers, the Mayhem Attack Squad comes from the 80's UK comics. They were introdiced as the Decepticon answer to The Wreckers in Time Wars, where the membership was the Deluxe Insecticons, the Duocons, Carnivac and Catilla.And they were slaughtered by Galvatron and Megatron, with only Carnivac and Catilla surviving but stranded on Earth where they teamed up with some of the other survivors of the Time Wars. The second incarnation of the team was Snarler, Needlenose, Spinister, Bludgeon, Stranglehold and Octopunch. Their first mission was hunting down Catilla and Carnivac. They killed Catilla and shortly after Carnivac killed Needlenose and Snarler and facilitated the capture of the rest of the squad, who eventually escaped. Bludgeon, Stranglehold and Octopunch would also show up as the Mayhems in Simon Furman's runon the US comics, being teleported to the heart of Cybertron with the Autobot Classic Pretenders and Rescue Patrol, the fight they kick off wakes Primus up and leads Unicron to Cybertron. They play a small part in Furman's Regeneration One comic (a sequel to the Marvel US comics which ignores the UK ones and G2) where the team is Carnivac, Snarler and Roadblock. Mayhem was used as the name of the antagonist group in Sins of the Wreckers in the original IDW continuity but aside from Carnivac being a member there's no link to the Marvel incarnation of the team. As other people have noted, the logo on the box is from the 2019 IDW continuity, specifically the comic Wreckers: Tread and Circuits where they're a terrorist group looking to undermine the government on Velocitron. The only member of the team with any link to the Marvel incarnation this time is Octopunch, but an incarnation of Breakdown based on the Prime character design was also a member, explaining his inclusion in the second box of this selection.

I specifically sought out Ransack, and was delighted to see the other deluxe Insecticons come in a single set. Just need Venom...

If Venom turns out to be a new sculpt, I wonder if they'll repaint him in traditional Insecticon colors to make a new regular Insecticon.

To be fair putting the little blasters on the rifle for more barrels just fits the name Barrage more.

Idk why I feel like saying this ur one of the oldest KZreadrs I still watch and one of my favorites and I really enjoy watching you

Ransack's arms can separate even further to look better in the bug mode, and I've found the bug feet work better backward.

That square blast effect I am sure is new

that bit with the toy talking back felt very freak and geek lol

I was one the fence about the Creature pack because I wanted Goldbug (or at least I wanted Netflix Bumblebee but it's crazy expensive). It was only when these guys were leaked that I bought it to get Ransack. Can't wait to get my hands on these guys and may Venom be along soon. Would be nice if then they all go released in a gift pack but I'm not going to take the risk.

Thanks for the great review! Maybe when Venom comes out they will put out a 4-pack! :)

Barrage and chop shop surprisingly work as retools. But yes Venom please. But original mold

i never thought we would get redo of the delux insecticons

> locust Have you *never seen* a cicada, sir?! Kickback is a grasshopper, Ransack is a cicada, and for all intents and purposes they are evil twins. There is no good twin.

The leaks for next year list a Venom, so we should be getting one. They still won't be truely "complete" however because there WAS suppose to also be a female Insecticon (a ladybug) that never got made. So unless Hasbro decided to make her, we'll still be short one.

"Octopus dude" is Hydra The faction emblems are only for insecticons

0:23 According to the designers, he’s being held hostage.

I think the extra head with Ransack is meant for Kickback, actually.

Look up deluxe Insecticons from G1. There was also a Bee (Venom) and a different grasshopper (Ransack).

The clearing yellow bits make up the bugs abdomen

The swords combine into an abdomen for ransack/kickback if you actually read the directions balt

I hope we get a Venom. He was one of my first, and I adore the colors on him.

Locusts are grasshoppers that are swarming!

Malleus Minotaurus is Hasbro’s excuse to not include Venom in the set

For the camera just tighten the screws. It's doing what it is because one or more screws have gotten loose

Sounds like a sticky contact in your camera zoom. I'm a video tech and while I haven't serviced your model specifically, you can never go wrong by shooting some contact cleaner (or isoproyl alcohol above 90%) and then just working the controls back and forth a whole bunch. Might fix the problem with it zooming out on its own.

Chop Shop is awesome. Def my fav. But he needs his axe!!

Hey look, 'deluxe-size' Deluxe Insecticons! ;)

Ok so don’t worry. Venom is in wave 1 of next years line it seems according to listings.

Awesome. Now about that Venom? Ps. Not Barricade.

You're lucky to have it early!

I don't like how chopshop and barrage only have 4 insect legs

18:00 You should look at a real life grasshopper to see how it looks. Those "wings things" aren't "wings" at all. Combine them to form the bug'd abdomen. You then spread the grasshopper's legs and PLUG IT IN ITS ASS. There, a "realistic" grasshopper.

Malleus isn't an "Autobot" since he would pre-date the split between Autobots and Decepticons/

Amazon isn't shipping the Deluxe Insections until at least the 28th of this month and Bombshell still hasn't been released dispite being a toy from last year. How do you have all these guys?

I’m 100% getting these goobers, but if the upcoming Solus comes with her own forge/Malleus Minotaurus, that’d be cool. She could duel wield them!

The minicon is a captive wrecker that they kidnaped I think is what they said.

Well Botmatrix, consider your wish granted, because we ARE getting a Venom in next years Generation Primes line. It was leaked with the mass announcement of the figures for it. And not only is he getting to finally use the name Venom again instead of Vernim. But he'll actually get his own mold instead of using someone else's. Sorry Ransack. I hope you get a mold of your own one day to do you justice my little locust friend. CURSE YOU HASBRO FOR THIS INJUSTICE!!!! 😢

Huh. My hammer dude only came with one blast effect, the spikey one, when I picked him up during the original release. Anyone else?

B E E F J E R K Y

Wait did you not know that the wing things on chop shop go into the peg hole on the back To do the abdomen ?

Nice set. Would be nicer if I knew I could purchase it without up to the minute updates from the fandom. Seriously. I want these products, but the attention required is a bit too much.

It’s cool perfect for my ransack…but is it better than the og insecticon trio? Well in my opinion: *yes but slightly no* My copy of ransack has one minor problem, that being his left arm (aka your right) is VERY tight! Can I fix it? Yes.Will I? Probably not

Warte.. seit wann sind die Insecticons bei den Autobots? Und wäre es nicht witzig, wenn die Insecticons bei den Maximals wären? Wie die Insecticons dann aussehen würden 🤔 aber es gibt ja bei den Predacons einige Insekten, wie Warspinator. Ist er nicht auch ein Insecticon? Oder war er nie dabei?

Cool?

I'm hoping for a Buzzworthy Bumblebee set with all four in the original purple, black, silver Insecticon colors. But yeah I love these guys. Thanks

throw the camera out and get a better camera, sounds like the camera your using is on it's last legs

Wishing that Venom is Voyager Class because the original G1 Deluxe Insecticons were DELUXE and this version should reflect that.
