Zaptrap


 * Zaptraps are Decepticon Insecticons.

Zaptraps (ザップトラップ Zapputorappu) are clones of the Insecticon Shrapnel. Zaptrap transforms into a mechanical stag beetle. Though they have extremely limited intelligence and are largely operated by Shrapnel's control-beams, in large numbers they are fairly capable hunter-seeker units, capable of producing powerful electric bolts from their horns. Though they're fairly sturdy, should Shrapnel's control-beams be interrupted, they will instantly crumble into a pile of component parts.

Fiction
Technically, the Zaptraps have never appeared in any fiction, as this specific coloration has never been used. However, the Zaptrap designation can be considered retroactive, so any appearance of the Shrapnel-model Insecticlones can be considered a Zaptrap appearance.
