Picture request: Diaclone Insecticons

I'm looking forward to the TRU insecticons reissues. I seem to recall that these are diaclone molds but I've never seen their diaclone counterparts. Did these used to have drivers too like Sideswipe and Tracks with the little magnet feet?
Any pictures or links to info would be nice.
Thanks!

The article includes pictures of the original Diaclone Insecticons.

It appears the e-hobby insecticon clones are based on them, though how exactly, I can't tell.

Look up Insecter Robo for tons of pics.

Yes, the authentic, original Diaclone ones have drivers with magnetic feet/soles.

Re: Picture request: Diaclone Insecticons

Thank you all for the references.
I know "google it" probably was at thought but I feel these guys are under represented.
