These are actually looking rather useful, of course all would need a buff (excluding the spell card, it is fine as is, considering it is the theme of the archtype and a limited, archtype specific, costless soul charge).

These would propably be the required buffs:

Arbalest: can also special from the deck and would be able to summon all archtype monsters (even itself to stay true to its anime form).

Needle: Also reduce the atk of the target to 0 or at least add a special from hand clause.

Vouge: Requires a floating abiliy and is an interesting semi-boss for the deck (unless they pull a blaze falcon on it and ruin it).

Big Ballista: 1.) Add an effect to draw or destroy cards up to the number of used bee force monsters for its summon (perhaps with a limit of up to 2/3 cards, though not all too needed).

                   2.) Also it needs an effect to protect itself or to float, after all it is a level 12 synchro (and the first non-ultimaya/delta accel/double tuning at that).

                   3.) On top of that the effect should work on all monsters the opponent controls and negate their effects (or be spell speed 2, while negating effects, which would also solve point 2.)).

All-out Rebellion: Alright as is .. nevermind add a hard once per turn clause and it should be fine.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Yeah, Arbalest would probably be okay with having it SS other Main Deck members besides itself (since Shinji won, it's likely we'll see more stuff from him).

Needle is technically outclassed by Fiendish, and even Breakthrough Skill to an extent.

 

We don't know what Ballista's mats are; probably Archetype specific stuff and things (but yeah, not Delta Accel/Double Tuning or named Ultimaya)

But yeah, for a Level 12 Synchro, it needs better protection and effects to be worth the effort of summoning it out.

 

Maybe it does have that, but it simply wasn't mentioned, given that Shinji was technically going to win at that point.

[Timeline15]

Ooh, they have the naming scheme of blackwings.

 

They look pretty cool right now, but they will needs buffs (such as a way of putting all those banished ones back in the graveyard, and maybe a way to special summon that tuner).

[heraldry_lord]

Vouge is another WIND Synchro for Speedroids, which I like.

 

Also more Insect Synchros in general is A-OK in my book.

[Flash Flyer - Sakura]

Last time we got Insect Synchros was with Roman's Underground Arachne and Recipro Dragonfly in 5Ds (only ones thus far)

So yeah, it's nice for them to get a few more members in there.

1.) If needle can reduce the stats to 0 one can at least easily run over the target, nvm what I said before it should on top of that also get a special summon from hand effect.

2.) Very likely Archtype specific, we do not have a single generic level 12 synchro, so I doubt they would start it now (nvm that if the draw/destroy effect (assuming it gets something like that) would be for archtype specific synchro materials (similar to chaofeng)).

It definitely needs more than this, even for a level 6+ synchro it is hardly worth the investment, even if it would be generic and considering the fact that this shows (also the character and the revolution theme) strong resemblances with shun's revolution falcon (as well as the name) we can expect much more than we have gotten right now, as, similar to revolution falcon, this card ended the game right after being summoned, which is a huge hint that it might be that way.

 

EDIT: Vouge could get a clause that he uses his effect if he battles a level or rank 7 or lower monster (as real cards do not have to follow the synchro dimension rules), on top of a float search for a bee force card from the deck.

[Toffee.]

These could be pretty silly IRL, provided, they gave them buffs here and there.

Release these buffed, and release Yagumo's Spider Numbers in a way that they can be reasonably played in the next Premium Pack, and I'd be satisfied with the Insect quota for the decade.

[Tinkerer]

I just like the naming of these, especially arbalest and big ballista. It's also nice to see an insect archetype with a usable playstyle (as long as these ARE buffed). Can't wait to see more of Shinji's stuff!

[Spinny]

A new archetype. Konami just take my money, this is amazing, bees!

[mshends]

Bee Force will probably be in 908 (no spaces for them in 907)

[~Faytl~]

I just realized that Bee Force is written in the same way as Blackwings (Black Feather) have theirs written in Japanese. That's clever.

[Wildflame]

They seem like a mix between Raidraptors and Blackwings..., which is exactly what I expected.

 

Not bad at all. Surprised at the random Level 12.

[~British Soul~]

I'm also surprised at the random level 12, I don't think anyone expected that.

 

Though I kinda want these to come out so I can call it Beedrill.dek (I've grown to like it more after a recent wedlocke). Though they do need buffing if Konami were to release them.
