Acolyte AU art drop 1 - Insecticons!

From the ACOLYTE au that @tere706​ and I have been developing! The INSECTICONS are a faction that develops later in the Acolyte AU. All of the Insecticon models in TFP cannon are simple beetles, so for this AU I’m also proposing alternate insect types. All of these bots can transform into a mechanical version of their associated insect! Descriptions below the cut, incase my handwriting is shite:

Dragonflighters - Thin, agile aerial based Insecticons who act primarily as scouts and spies for the Hive. The Dragonflighters are often the first to set out in search for a new place for their brethren to call home.  Beetlebots - Aerial or ground based, this subspecies has the widest variety when it comes to visual appearance. Scarab is based off of a jeweled beetle, and Hardshell is based off a Hercules beetle. Mantisites - This subspecies, while incapable of flight, makes up for it with their prowess in combat and espionage. Though, it really is just the one of them. Her name’s Orchid, and she is the Cybertronian equivalent of a teenager.  Millidroids - As they are the largest species, they do the lion’s share of tunneling in order to make space for their brethren in the Hive. They use themselves as measurement; if they can fit, so can everyone else.
