Vintage G1 Transformers Bombshell of the Insecticons. The Insecticons were part of the Decepticons. In 1985, the second wave of Generation 1 deviated from the realistic cars, jets, and guns selection in the first series. However, many of the molds were still sourced from Takara’s previous toylines, such as the Insecticons like Bombshell. Bombshell transformers into a robotic weevil, probably of the family Curculionidae.
Bombshell transforms into a black robotic weevil. His chest is purple painted die-cast metal, and his shoulder joints are molded in yellow plastic, giving the appearance of bulging eyes. Bombshell features a long, chrome snout with two small elbowed antenna near its tip. His stubby insect legs are all attached via his robot mode arms. His simple transformation follows a common pattern with many vehicular transformers, folding the arms out to the side, and swinging the legs down from the rear. The weevil snout is positioned pointed forward over Bombshell’s robot mode head. Bombshell includes a chrome gun that mimics his snout and antennae. Bombshell’s chest features a translucent yellow door which serves no purpose in the Transformers release.
