| The name or term "Insecticon" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Insecticon (disambiguation). |
Insecticon is a creepy little bugger. Most other Predacons hate monitor duty, but Insecticon enjoys his job of surveillance a little too much. He'll gladly sit and watch everything for hours on end... friends, foes, rocks, trees, building up a comprehensive database of everyone and everything around him. Sometimes he'll build a network of cloaked recording devices just to make sure he hasn't missed anything. He's even built monitoring devices into his own body, and when he's in the field he'll record battlefield activity and then review the footage from the safety of his underground lair.
Insecticon isn't particularly strong, so he eschews front-line combat in favor of his own disturbing little game. Using his sonar-sensitive antennae, he'll track down Maximals encroaching on Predacon territory and shoot them with his energon crossbow, which overloads mechanical systems on impact. Once they've regained consciousness, Insecticon will force them to watch a real-time feed of their comrades being injured on the battlefield. Again, creepy.

Insecticon was one of the many Decepticons who joined Cicadacon in surrendering to the Autobots. Dawn of the Predacus
Later, Insecticon became one of the protoforms jettisoned by the Axalon on prehistoric Earth. He was activated and put in chronal phase by Razorbeast at Magmatron's request. The Gathering #1 The newly born Predacon quickly joined Magmatron. He was sent to hunt down the Maximals that Razorbeast had also awakened. The Gathering #2
While investigating a swampy area with Transquito, Powerpinch, Scourge, and Retrax, Insecticon discovered they were not alone. Several of his teammates were taken down by the Mutants, who declare that no Maximal or Predacon is welcome in their home. Insecticon and Scourge retreated, abandoning the swamp to its inhabitants. While running, they whimpered that the sector was all clear and there was nothing to report. The Gathering #3
Later, the Predacons discovered Razorbeast's base and attacked. Insecticon was part of the force that vastly ountnumbered the Maximals. Just in time, though, a new Maximal group broke into the fight, winning the day. The Gathering #4
A few weeks later, Insecticon participated in another attack on the Maximal base. The Ascending #1 Unfortunately, he soon found himself facing down Grimlock, and was promptly stomped and chewed on. He didn't do much better against Apache when he and the rest of the Pack showed up as Maximal reinforcements. The Ascending #2 After witnessing the arrival of Rartorata, Insecticon was among the Predacons to return to Cybertron and join the fight against Shokaract. The Ascending #3 Shortly after the battle begun, Insecticon, K-9, and Wolfang were destroyed by a single blast from Shokaract. The Ascending #4
Insecticon was on the Predacon team in the fateful final match of the Games, which was interrupted by Lio Convoy's assassination of Supersonic and call for an uprising against the Builders. Broken Windshields Like much of his teammates, Insecticon chose to abandon the match rather than stick around. Head Games
By the six year of the Grand Uprising, he had joined the Resistance. At the start of the Vehicon Apocalypse, he arrived with CatSCAN and Beetle to assist Magna Stampede in Harmonex. Derailment
Insecticon was one of Onyx Prime's Maximals. He and a horde of beasts attacked the Throttlebots on Regalis V, but were driven off by Prowl and his allies. The Dead Come Home, Part 2 (of 2) When the Maximals invaded Cybertron, Insecticon was one of the many warriors who wound up battling Arcee. Unforgivable
The Cybertronian who would become Insecticon was one of the many Maximal protoforms aboard the Axalon. To eliminate the Maximals and Predacons, Tarantulas and the Vok brought every crashed stasis pod they could find online and reprogrammed the protoforms within into loyal "Children of the Vok". Together, they attacked the crashed Darksyde in an attempt to take out the Maximal-Predacon alliance, and in the ensuing battle Cheetor used his super-speed to repeatedly punch Insecticon in the face. Eventually, when the Maximals and Predacons destroyed the Vok themselves, their remaining followers agreed to a truce and left to live peacefully in the wilderness. The End
