The Wreckers didn’t have skeleton robots but that didn’t stop them.

I still think that a G1 Knockout, retooled from Tow-Line, would have been a FAR more interesting choice than Breakdown, even if he didn’t have the Mayhem attachment.
Nonnef was apparently ready and waiting for Windsweeper:
I'm realizing now that the most Bulkhead part of that mold is really the truck cab, which is more or less Bulkhead's face (with much bigger eyes). This paint job highlights it by picking out that bumper as Bulkhead's jaw.
That, or I need to stop just taking breaks from studying and actually go to sleep.
Looking forward to those Deluxe Insecticons for sure.
I kept getting confused by how Windsweeper (and friends)/Breakdown is referred to as a 2-pack while the Insecticons and Malleus whatever are a 3-pack. You'd think they'd hype up that there are four TFs in that first set.
But then I remembered that Needlenose and partners was one Deluxe class pack, so that's probably why.

The two targetmasyers are more figurines than figures. They're basically tiny statues.
Yeah, Needlenose's targetmasters are pretty much just accessories, while Malleus is a Battlemaster.
Which they've always been, even in G1. Its about the only way to get them made and keep the budget.
It’s possible he might get a re-release later on like the Velocitron stuff is.
I wasn't making a judgment, I was trying to explain why they were likely not considered to be extra figures and make the two pack a four pack, as lastmaximal asked.
My fortune for a Venom and Beet Papil two pack.
I don't know. I wanted new Deluxe Insecticons for a long time but these aren't doing it for me. The originals pulled off some nice tricks with the insect legs, which remains notable to this day because so few bug bots do anything with the legs. These are haphazard retools. Does barrage even have six legs?
But it's a pain to order from them.Nonnef was apparently ready and waiting for Windsweeper:
He does not. Chopshop has actual legs instead of the ski things Shrapnel has at least.
Either way, probably the best we’re going to get given their almost zero fictional relevance and possible rights issues with their original looks.
I've got the original Fans Project versions, which are great (Although one of the team is missing).
Had the regular insecticons made from those molds. Bombshell or Shrapnel’s Insect legs basically disintegrated whichever one of them had the bug legs that doubled as detachable sickle weapons. Weren’t terrible otherwise but also not worth hunting an exclusive set years after they released IMO.
