What are the best Insecticons?

I have been considering adding the Insecticons to my MP scaled collection, and I have seen different types of Insecticons out there. What's the best ones and why?



So far, the Badcube ones are what's doing it for me. They're soooo G1

Re: What are the best Insecticons?

Theres only one set of mp scaled insecticons out now and they are from badcube (value package version). I haven't read of problems about them.

There are special versions of the set from badcube as well as other insecticons from other companies and so far, best is based on what they look like cause they are not out so no real reviews or info, so it is personal preference on what is best.

Re: What are the best Insecticons?

Badcube and Fanstoys are both the same height at roughly 5.5 inches.

Badcube, you get an interchangeable chest for grey and purple, but only the flat yellow chest cover. You can get the transparent cover via the collectors edition. Also, there is no chrome on the regular versions. So you have 2 choices with Badcube. Flat yellow cover + no chrome + grey and purple chest, or transparent yellow cover + chrome + grey and purple chest. i don't think there is any diecast on Badcube, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Fanstoys, in my opinion, blows Badcube away hard core. Mainly because it's loaded with diecast. It has chrome, it has interchangeable flat yellow and transparent yellow chest covers, interchangeable insect legs, but you can only pick either grey or purple chest. That's for Bombshell, the other 2 aren't finished yet (the third release is set for January) but you can judge how the the line up will be with Bombshell.

Other companies I can't speak to, but I think Badcube and Fanstoys have the nicer choices.

Here's a link to a video showing a comparison

Re: What are the best Insecticons?

I know I will be getting both FT and I alread have BC but the reason I went with BC was the simple fact that I could get all three right now and not have to wait another year for them, like come on it has been 2 years now and they are still working on the dinobots so for me the wait for all three was going to be way to long with the simple fact that FT has to much on the plate and things are getting heavy pushes for them to announce and develop new product.
