Malleus Minotaurus was Solus prime's helper who was kidnapped from the Wreckers by The Mayhem Attack Squad. The smaller blast effect didn't come with Smashdown. The other charcater from the two-pack is Prime Universe Breakdown.

I opened the chest hatch on Ransack and never regretted doing it, though it was with a bit of hassle. Will do the same on Kickback. Why they put a hatch there but then made it stuck to the chest so it couldn't be opened is just weird. He NEEDS to carry small energon cubes around. Or his extra head, because why not. However, I just don't like the G1 toy versions of these, I think the smaller ones from Combiner Wars, Titans Return and Power of the Primes looked way better and I wanted those in upscaled versions. If I want G1 brick alt-modes, I'll buy G1 versions. Dammit, Hasbro...

I'm sure Hasbro will get Venom out at some point, hopefully with it's own mould so it looks right in both modes. I'm hoping hasbro makes the female ladybug insecticon that never got a toy. I think in Japan she was good but in the fan fictions I've seen they made her a Decepticon. I'd hope if hasbro makes her, they make her an autobot. When I was a kid I ended up getting a blue Barrage from some other company that was able to use the same mould hasbro had (maybe a future repaint 😁). This company had other insect bots and one was a dragon fly, it was my favorite transformers knock off and my number two favorite transforming toy next to Sludge. Blue Barrage was 3rd.

Sounds like a sticky contact in your camera zoom. I'm a video tech and while I haven't serviced your model specifically, you can never go wrong by shooting some contact cleaner (or isoproyl alcohol above 90%) and then just working the controls back and forth a whole bunch. Might fix the problem with it zooming out on its own.

Hey Balt! I’ve found a cool way to deal with Chopshops weapons to differentiate him further from shrapnel is to use the bug-leg guns as dual pistols, while putting shrapnels original gun on his back facing downwards- there’s *JUST* enough room between the bug legs on his back for the shrapnel gun to fit there.

The leaks for next year list a Venom, so we should be getting one. They still won't be truely "complete" however because there WAS suppose to also be a female Insecticon (a ladybug) that never got made. So unless Hasbro decided to make her, we'll still be short one.

These insecticons, at least the names, retools of the cartoon show robots. Weren’t they basically similar to Jetfire/Skyfire? I remember buying them at Kay Bee toy store under a different toymaker. Also these 3 insecticons were also available through Hasbro back in the 80s by mailing in points similar to Reflector and the deluxe Autobots. Different transformations back I the 80s though for Barrage and Chop Shop.

Like The Wreckers, the Mayhem Attack Squad comes from the 80's UK comics. They were introdiced as the Decepticon answer to The Wreckers in Time Wars, where the membership was the Deluxe Insecticons, the Duocons, Carnivac and Catilla.And they were slaughtered by Galvatron and Megatron, with only Carnivac and Catilla surviving but stranded on Earth where they teamed up with some of the other survivors of the Time Wars. The second incarnation of the team was Snarler, Needlenose, Spinister, Bludgeon, Stranglehold and Octopunch. Their first mission was hunting down Catilla and Carnivac. They killed Catilla and shortly after Carnivac killed Needlenose and Snarler and facilitated the capture of the rest of the squad, who eventually escaped. Bludgeon, Stranglehold and Octopunch would also show up as the Mayhems in Simon Furman's runon the US comics, being teleported to the heart of Cybertron with the Autobot Classic Pretenders and Rescue Patrol, the fight they kick off wakes Primus up and leads Unicron to Cybertron. They play a small part in Furman's Regeneration One comic (a sequel to the Marvel US comics which ignores the UK ones and G2) where the team is Carnivac, Snarler and Roadblock. Mayhem was used as the name of the antagonist group in Sins of the Wreckers in the original IDW continuity but aside from Carnivac being a member there's no link to the Marvel incarnation of the team. As other people have noted, the logo on the box is from the 2019 IDW continuity, specifically the comic Wreckers: Tread and Circuits where they're a terrorist group looking to undermine the government on Velocitron. The only member of the team with any link to the Marvel incarnation this time is Octopunch, but an incarnation of Breakdown based on the Prime character design was also a member, explaining his inclusion in the second box of this selection.
