We are privileged to present an extraordinary complete collection of G1 Insecticons. This elusive set of seven includes all four Deluxe and all three Regular issues. The set, first released in 1985, came from a recent single-owner “find” in the Northeast. The set is freshly graded by AFA (February 2026).

 

High-grade MISB Bombshell from the Insecticons release as part of Series 2 in 1985. This is a rare, highly desirable first-release example. The TM ™ attached to the TRANSFORMERS logo on the card (instead of R “®” as seen on subsequent releases) verifies it as the elusive first-release. It’s important to note that the regular issue Insecticons were released twice unlike the Deluxe Insecticons which were only released once. Our factory sealed offering is outstanding. Fantastic box that is virtually free of imperfections. Nostalgic $7.49 Woolworth price tag sticker in the upper corner (many present-day collectors fondly remember purchasing their Transformers from Woolworth). Amazing color and gloss throughout. Each end is factory tape sealed and there is no color break along either of the vertical edges on front. The only blemish is the topper within which came loose from the top of the box. Display window is crystal clear as is the bubble that secures the toy within. The Bombshell toy itself is in pristine condition. Very nice factory sealed example in 80+ grade! This auction presents a rare opportunity to complete the full set of 7 Insecticons. Encapsulated by AFA 80+ (80-85-80), #11880553
