Comments: Shrapnel is a neat looking insect but doesn't have much else going for him. He seems the most fragile of the three and breaks easily (especially his yellow wheel/arms). Transformation is basic with the front antennae revealing his head and the legs folding down. His blaster is unique with a silver shine. He doesn't impress me too much but is still decent in terms of part of the Insecticon army.

The noise of war and the screams of his foes are music to this loathsome Insecticon's audio modules...has piercing battle cry...can be heard 8 miles away. In insect mode can use antennae to control almost any electrical device. In robot mode can attract lightning bolts to antennae and shoot them out hands. Grenade launcher shoots 30 pound steel balls that splinter into razor-sharp spikes. Insulation can stop his electrical blasts.
