Kickback

Charming, but cruelly clever... makes friends so he can influence them to do his bidding by digging up facts he can hold against them. Can jump 40 ft. for a distance of .1 miles... kick a hole in 1/4 inch steel. Can fly 30mph up to 100 miles. Very vulnerable to flying in high winds.

I started thinking about making some insectoid MOCs. I was specifically thinking along the lines of bipedal but showing characteristics of a certain insect. I'm a huge Transformers fan so I soon went in the direction of the G1 Insecticons. I decided that they would be a combination of their robot modes and their bug modes.

Here in Kickback's case I made the motif quite Locust/ Grasshopper like. Mainly the insect like wings, spindly design, and comparatively thick upper legs. Out of all the Insecticons I made, Kickback is my favorite. I actually mentally plotted out Kickback's design first (Ironically I built him last)
