This article is about the Generation 1 series Insecticlone. For the Cybertron-series Mini-Con, see Zapmap.
- The Zaptraps are Insecticon clones from the Generation 1 continuity family.
I think I stepped on something.
Zaptraps are clones of the Insecticon Shrapnel. Though they have extremely limited intelligence and are largely operated by Shrapnel's control-beams, in large numbers they are fairly capable hunter-seeker units, capable of producing powerful electric bolts from their horns. Though they're fairly sturdy, should Shrpanel's control-beams be interrupted, they will instantly crumble into a pile of component parts.
Fiction
Technically, the Zaptraps have never appeared in any fictions, as this specific coloration has never been used. However, the Zaptrap designation can be considered retroactive, so any appearance of the Shrapnel-model Insecticlones can be considered Zaptraps.
