Virulent Clone


 * Virulent Clones are Decepticon Insecticons.



Virulent Clones were created from Deathsaurus's experiments on the genetic codes of Insecticon Buzzclaw, with the intention of using his latent ability to create endless duplicates of himself to build a new Insecticon clone army. Deathsaurus would, of course, use this army to wipe out the Autobots and take over the galaxy, yadda yadda yadda.

Each clone isn't very smart, but they do follow orders well. As personality-less, easily-destroyable-yet-easily-replenishable drones, they make perfectly satisfactory cannon fodder. Each Virulent Clone transforms into a praying mantis/lizard monster.

Descent into Evil
Buzzclaw was recruited by Deathsaurus to serve as the basis for a new army of Insecticon Virulent Clones. Deathsaurus established a research center on Ceti Alpha Seven, where he unlocked Insecticon's long-dormant cloning abilities. When the Autobots discovered the facility and sent a team to destroy it, Buzzclaw led armies of Virulent Clones against them. Although the Decepticons won that battle, the cloning center was destroyed.
