Underneath the city, the Insecticon had laid thousands of eggs. It had also started to eat out caverns and fill them too. Soon, an army would be birthed. Where it had first set the first eggs, they had grown significantly larger, and taller. Those would hatch soon, and start eating and laying eggs as well. A couple smaller eggs had hatched, and formed a different type of insecticon. They were much smaller, and they flew around the empty caverns carrying chunks of energon with no apparent purpose. However, after a bit of looking it would appear that their purpose was to supply energon to newly hatched insecticons, which would remove the possibility of cannibalism. When insecticons hatched, they would be fully formed and ready for combat.
