Fansplanation: perhaps these Insecticons have different types like hive insects; so maybe the ones that Arcee and Megatron fought were soldier bugs, and the ones Bumblebee picked off were worker/drones. They seemed to have accepted Airachnid as their Queen -- now Megatron. Aaah, that brings back fond memories of BW Inferno!Originally Posted by Hursticon
Another thoroughly enjoyable episode; My only gripe was that the Insecticons seemed to of gone from being extremely difficult to manage individually, to being nothing but cannon fodder...
For instance; when we're 1st introduced to the Insecticon, Arcee is basically being pummelled all over the shop & later Megatron even finds them to be a considerable handful - Enter Bumblebee and they're now able to be picked off with a single gun blast.(it'd be pretty kewl if they brought that running joke back and had the entire swarm addressing TFP Megatron as "Our Queen" -- maybe some of them could yell "For Queen and Colony!" as they attack
).
Well they could have done so if the last ep wasn't a recapper! :/It's also been suggested elsewhere, that Airachnid and the Insecticons were relegated to being nothing but a sub plot (Playing back-seat to Starscream's clones and Bulkhead trapped on the Decepticon Warship) and that this portion of the story should've really been handled in it's own episode; I have to admit, I agree with that suggestion.
I was hoping that at least two of the clones would survive and become Skywarp and Thundercracker (at very least Skywarp since there is a toy of him)Still, the action was awesome and quite jam-packed (Almost too much); Bulkhead's line at the end was hilarious and Starscream suffering the pain of his clone's woes due to Binary-Bonded sparks was an intriguing twist too!
