>>10976617>Beetle was based on what became InsecticonActually leaked early documents show Hasbro still pushing the G2.5 angle so the toys were more based on the classic characters instead of being "originals". Manta Ray was going to be Optimus and Panther is Prowl. With how their headsculpts are basically unchanged, it's easy to see Beetle was another Megatron, and Rhino was going to be Rhinox.
