Only looking at the original G1 Insecticon toys from 1985, and just from a toy perspective. Which was your favourite as a child? I don't think many of us would've had a Deluxe Insecticon as a kid, since they were never released in Australia. But I've included them in the poll for anyone who might've acquired them from overseas (whether you were living overseas at the time or otherwise obtained it from overseas). :)

Shrapnel was my favourite but only because he was the only Insecticon I owned. Had friends who owned Kickback & Bombshell which I noticed became very flimsy as time took its toll on the toys. I liked the idea of lightning bolts bursting from his chest (go Zoids) & antennae.

I also voted for Shrapnel... I loved him as a kid, cause he had a cool voice

Tied between Bombshell & Kickback. I never did like Shrapnel, or the deluxes for that matter.

I picked Kickback, my mate had it and I thought it was cool.
I've never owned the original insecticons until last year when I bought the book box release from a member here.

Bombshell as he was my third ever TF (after Dirge and Mirage). I always did regret for years though that I bought him instead of Swoop in the store as a kid as Bombshell was easy to find on eBay for years whilst Swoop was damn hard and expensive

Shrapnel due to his cool electric powers in the cartoon. Didn't own any Insecticons until about 2005 (thanks to Griffin selling some of his) so no strong childhood attachment to the toys.
