Description
The book Transformers Legacy, a collection of various Transformers box art has some examples of pre-Transformers art, including insect modes of the Deluxe Insecticons which started off as Armored Insect Battalion Beetras by TakaToku Toys. They were later sold to Bandai, later sold to Hasbro, but not Takara which resulted in their exclusion from the cartoon. As I was working on the recolour of Beet-Zeguna to create a Venom Insect mode using the Transformers toy as a colour scheme, I wondered about how he might look with the colour scheme of the original three Insecticons. Here it is. While the original orange and green and white worked well, I think it makes Venom far more interesting a character like this.
