Beast Wars II
Bigmos is the leader of the insect force known as the Insectrons. However, as each of them pretty much does as he pleases, they lack cooperative spirit. Before coming to planet Gaea, they were soldiers running about the universe, and were even familiar with the Autorollers. Bigmos can transform into a "Mode 3" ant-lion form. He has a weakness for tomato juice. The Needle Missiles he fires from his mouth can even pierce through steel.[1]
Bigmos stands 2.7 meters tall and weighs 1.1 tons. He has a top running speed of 50 kilometers per hour in beast mode, but 45 kilometers per hour in robot mode. His top flight speed is mach 8.
Animated series
Bigmos appeared in the Beast Wars II anime series. Formerly mercenaries, the Insectrons ended up on the Antarctica region of Gaia where they live peacefully. Starscream tricked them into fighting the Maximals until the ruse was ruined by Galvatron's fits.
They later allied themselves with the Maximals. They had encountered their sworn rivals the AutoRollers. The toys for the Insectrons are recolors of several Beast Wars Predacons with insect forms and are meant to be different characters altogether.
