Insecticomics (Webcomic)	comment	The Insecticomics was a Transformers Fan Webcomic by Melissa DeHaan, also known as Wayward Martian. Originally, the comic was a series of amusing pictures of toys done for no real purpose, which explains the bad photography and writing. Eventually, the comics became more and more frequent and around episode 100, Wayward decided to make it a triweekly thing. The photography began to get better, the cast expanded and Wayward began using props and eventually whole sets, but the irreverent sense of humor remained.The Insecticomics disclaimer reads as such:''In the context of the Insecticomics, the characters are not toys, but actual Transformers. Just really small and living in a human's apartment. Unless they're in the suburbs of Pollyhex. The fact that they're mass-produced and sold as toys by humans doesn't bother them, and toy stores are an accepted way to increase the size of one's army. They also never question why there's characters from pretty much every generation running around, or how, say, Waspinator and Thrust exist simultaneously. Or why Vector Prime can teleport but he carries a rubber sword.Basically, the whole thing doesn't make much sense and "internal continuity" are words unknown. Welcome to the Insecticomics.''The comic (a known Long Runner) came to an end at exactly 900 strips and 9 volumes.

After initial concerns, she really got into it. Thrust declared himself female in an effort to thwart Moral Guardian Lady Jaye's protests, and then just stuck with it. It is not clear exactly how everyone can tell that she's changed genders, but they can. The "other Transformers can tell" shows up even earlier, as one of the first things Lazorbeak's brother asks on arrival is "When did you become a girl?"

Insecticomics (Webcomic) / int_462ea851	comment	Straw Fan: There's a fifty-fifty chance that any human character in the comic is one of these. Strangely enough, there's also at least a slight chance that even these characters will be treated with some dregs of respect. The Unicron arc actually seemed to indicate that Wayward at least sympathized with a Straw Fan Mary Sue's desire to be at the big fight and do all she could, even if that was effectively nothing. Shadow: A male straw G1 fanboy. He has an obsession with there being "no mushy stuff" in Transformers. His disdain for other people being happy and loving makes the Daleks take a shine to him. Angelle Darque: A Mary Sue who has such a bad case of bad Transformers fanfic clicheness that she narrates her own life... badly. Her biggest claim to a significant identity is that she's female. Sakura-chan: One of the saner fangirls that hang around, she doesn't particularly bother the Transformers... she just has odd ideas about characterization. She's described as harmless... but not bright. "Rover" Davis: No first name given (until Kickback gives him a nickname). The "normal" fan, his biggest straw tendencies are that he's a bit awkward and makes a few poor decisions (like trying to run away and become a human companion to Transformers).

Lemony Narrator: Arguing with Gary can earn you a Take That! in the narration boxes. Unreliable Narrator: Of course, he rarely gets away with it without someone calling him on it, so he generally sticks to what's actually going on.

Insecticomics (Webcomic) / int_9858c391	comment	Chick Magnet: People with power are extremely attractive to those with aquatic alt-modes... regardless of gender. At one point, just to prove this to another 'bot, someone shouts "What's that? You've merged with the Underbase?" This prompts every single aquatic in the apartment to practically teleport there. This is brought up during The Fallen's Hostile Show Takeover of Ask Vector Prime A Question: On Cybertron (or at least most incarnations), there are no oceans. Thus, that attraction is a survival program that comes with being a boat-bot, i.e. having a useless altmode in an eons-long war. This also applies to robots like Thunderblast (who can fly and thus is useful in boat mode), though in her case it's noted that she's power-hungry and likes manipulating those more powerful than her.

Thrust, meanwhile, seems to like Dreadmoon but is content with hitting on him and taking him out on occasional dates (and is dating Flamewar on the side). There's also Shortround, who crushes on Thunderblast, who will only hook up with people more powerful than she is. Really, a large portion of the primary cast is/was/is off and on in relationships with other members of the cast. The only difference from the above relationships is that most of them just don't care who else their SO hooks up with.

Insecticomics (Webcomic) / int_ee7a60e9	comment	One-Steve Limit: Mostly averted, as various toylines included different characters with the same name. For example: there are no less than three active Megatrons in the strip — Beast Wars, Energon (who retired at the end of volume 2) and Classics. There are no less than five active Starscreams: G1 (using an actual G1 toy, an Energon variant in G1 colors, and a Classics toy), Armada, Energon, Cybertron and 2007 movie. When the "Six Weeks of Christmas" story happened, all five (plus the G1 Energon variant, a new Animated Starscream, a tiny version of the G1 figure and what appears to be a small version of the 2007 movie version) appeared in the ninth strip. Name reuse is referenced by Beast Megatron when he tries to get some Terrorcon Dinobots to obey him, only to be told they only answer to Scorponok. Thinking they mean his former lieutenant (who eventually reappeared some volumes later), Beast Megatron says he's been dead for years, only for Energon Scorponok to show up and reply that they mean him. Megatron then bemoans that he hates name reuse. The G1 Constructiconsnote one of five Constructicon teams in the strip — there's the G1 versions, the Sixbuilder repaints from the Universe line, the Build Team repaints from the Universe line, the Energon team that forms Constructicon Maximus, and their Universe repaints, who become part of the Brigade try to play it straight, G1 Bonecrusher forcing his namesakes in the Energon/Constructicon Maximus team and the Universe/Build Team repaints to change their names to Killdozer and Spanky, respectively.

Insecticomics (Webcomic) / int_f98c63	type	Wedding Bells... for Someone Else
Insecticomics (Webcomic) / int_f98c63	comment	Wedding Bells... for Someone Else: Invoked in the volume 5 arc "Come For The Wedding, Stay For The Open Bar!". Kickback and Lazorbeak decide to have a wedding in protest of events from For Better or for Worse, because "the strip is ending when the once-interesting older daughter marries her emotionally-manipulative creepo high school fling. On the anniversary of when the creepo married his first wife, no less." Bombshell and Elita assume Kickback and Lazorbeak are the ones getting married; it's not until the ceremony that they learn the former two are just hosting, and the whole thing is actually the Earth-legal marriage of Stryka and Obsidian (apparently, Earth doesn't recognize Cybertronian bond-relationships, and being recognized as married is important to the pair).

Insecticomics (Webcomic) / int_fa1d0606	comment	Interactive Narrator: Taken about as far as it's possible to go, as Gary not only chats with the characters on occasion, but eventually takes on humanoid form to be at the big fight.

Insecticomics (Webcomic) / int_fb9e2ffd	comment	"Rover" Davis: No first name given (until Kickback gives him a nickname). The "normal" fan, his biggest straw tendencies are that he's a bit awkward and makes a few poor decisions (like trying to run away and become a human companion to Transformers).

Insecticomics (Webcomic) / int_fbd285b7	type	Comically Missing the Point
Insecticomics (Webcomic) / int_fbd285b7	comment	Comically Missing the Point: In a volume 3 strip, White Chromia joins Shortround and Dreadwing in watching a slasher flick. After it ends, she comments that "You guys don't know what you're talking about. There wasn't any slash in that movie." Shortround's reply of "You read too much fanfic, Chromia." indicates that she misheard "slasher" as "slash", and was therefore expecting a "boy's love" film rather than a horror movie.

Insecticomics (Webcomic) / int_fc4f5f19	type	Go-Karting with Bowser
Insecticomics (Webcomic) / int_fc4f5f19	comment	Go-Karting with Bowser: what much of the Decepticon-Autobot interaction has become. Examples include Bombshell and Elita's on-off relationship, Prowl and Barricade getting energon-drunk together, and Starscream and Skyfire's ongoing romance. The strip "Good Cop, Bad Cop VII" overlaps this with Kidnapped by an Ally, as Dreadmoon (as a favor to Ultra Magnus) "kidnaps" a very stressed Prowl and takes him back to the Brigade's base to relax and play a friendly game of chess.

Insecticomics (Webcomic) / int_fe0330fb	comment	Brick Joke: I Am Best Assemblydrone on Planet Basket! In an early comic, the Insecticons get into one of the Transformers fandom's infamous "Rumble Is Red Frenzy Is Blue" arguments. A number of comics later, while one of said cassette-bots (the blue one) is speaking to the Insecticons, the final line is "Wait... aren't you Frenzy?" After spending most of the comic out of action, Energon's Megatron finally comes out of retirement to take back control of the Decepticons in the final strip. The Insecticons are just as surprised as the audience.
