Another spotlight from the Transformers Fanstream gives us a behind the scenes on the just revealed Age Of The Primes Venin (Venom)!

Mark @markclonus bugs out with a look at the making of this newest addition to the ongoing Insecticons remakes with a new Deluxe Class figure. The futuristic laser shooting robot cicada is an interesting design in day-glow colors that updates the original Venom character with a new look and name. Read the concept design notes on the new reveal with images to follow.

Venin: any of various toxic substances in snake VENOM , but wait, this brightly colored baddie is a cicada! Eek!😱 Run for the hills!! The new insecticon battalion of cicada’s is coming to your shelf collection to wreak havoc, consume your energon, and install shear terror into the hearts of the Autobot do gooders!

Move over Kickback, theres a more attractive stud in the colony, and he is packing his electric-blaster that can also combine with his short handled axe to increase dexterity for some battle ready action.

Worked on this long awaited insecticon with Ejima san and he of course performed his Big E magic on him!

Couldnt even tell you how long I wanted to finish all 7 insecticons at a deluxe scale but Im absolutely thrilled its happening! The thing about the swarm is simple though, it never stops coming. There’s a plethora of glorious insecticons that deserve new toys, some made at a smaller scale then I wanted, Im looking at you Hardshell! Some have never been made in plastic for us to collect. But, as we all know, they exist in the vast cybertronian lands of the never ending Transformers universe and need to be placed in collectors and kids hands for all to enjoy.

More to come so keep those optical receptors tuned into the only account that brings you your plastic energon fix!😉
