Alicam7, ragnarok1945 is a terrible guy to take advice from and you shouldn't be listening to what he says. Anyhow, the only good Insect-Type monsters as of now are the Level 3 Inzektors released in Order of Chaos (Dragonfly and Centipede are the main beatsticks). Still, even if you changed this to be SS-ed by tributing 2 any Insect-Type monsters, I would rather overlay my Inzektors for Zenmaines.

This card has a major problem, and it's that Insects are always either terrible (most belong here), or so utterly amazing they can't afford any space to run inconsistent cards (as in the aforementioned Inzektors that ALWAYS go in the top 8 of ANY OCG tournament). Sadly, it's depressingly hard to make good "Insect" support.

If you're going to make support for a particular type or deck, you should always play it for a while, and think - "What does this deck need?" In the case with Recruiter Insects, the only Insect-Type deck that doesn't involve Dragonfly, they use Verdant Sanctuary and Underground Arachnid as its two main cards. If I wanted to support the deck, I would rather make a card that allows you to make the deck's strategy consistent. For instance, if a Verdant Sanctuary version of Hecatrice was made, the deck will become much better. Sadly, this card lacks synergy with the current Insects, and overall it doesn't really help Insects.

Yeah, sorry, but you should completely scrap the idea of an Insect boss monster that requires many tributes. If you want to support Insects, play the deck, and learn about what they need. If you simply wanted to make a boss monster for anything regardless of Insect or not, first look at Destiny HERO - Plasma. And if Plasma is better than your monster, you need to make it better.

That's all of the advice I can give.

Let's say the 2nd card is an effect monster. In that case, it should say:

"Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Cannot be Special Summoned, except by its own effect. Tribute 3 Dragon-Type monsters you control; Special Summon this card (from your hand)."

And if it were so, that's basically the typical toilet paper and ragnarok is a total idiot for suggesting it's even mildly overpowered.

The first card is thankfully Level 11, meaning it doesn't make the Rank 10 Gustaph Max. But still, it's way too abusable with the loads of Vanilla revival. There's no real way to fix it, given you'd have to lower the ATK to balance it, but then Gogiga Gagagigo becomes better.
