New Transformers Insecticon Venin Buzzes with New Hasbro Release
Hasbro is back with some new Transformers Age of the Primes release as Autobots and Deceptions continue to battle for Earth
Article Summary
- Hasbro unveils the new Transformers Age of the Primes Insecticon Venin Deluxe Class action figure.
- Venin converts from robot to winged cicada mode in 17 steps and includes axe and blaster accessories.
- This figure draws inspiration from classic Insecticon lore and is a descendant of Liege Maximo Prime.
- Available for pre-order now, Venin releases November 2025 for $24.99 for Transformers collectors.
The Insecticons are a group of Decepticons in the Transformers universe known for their insect-like alternate modes and unique abilities. Originally introduced in the 1980s Transformers cartoon and toyline, the core trio—Shrapnel, Bombshell, and Kickback—transform into a stag beetle, rhinoceros beetle, and grasshopper, respectively. Unlike typical Decepticons, they can clone themselves, consume organic matter for energy, and often operate as a rogue faction with their own agenda.
The leader of the Insecticons is flying on in as Venin is ready for action with a new Transformers Age of the Primes figure. Standing 5.5" tall, this bot can convert into its winged cicada mode in 17 steps and will come with an axe and blaster. Since the Age of the Prime line focuses on the lineage of The Thirteen, Venin is a descendant of Liege Maximo Prime. Collectors can build up their Insecticons collection in November 2025 for $24.99, and pre-orders are live.
