Maybe a stupid thought, but it seems to me that if transformed cards (Delver in particular) are independent from their flipside, and an Engineered Explosives set at 0 takes care of one on the battlefield, along with not specifically stating on the card that it is in fact a blue card, please explain to me why a REB can send one packing. I looked up rulings, but so far I'm having no luck finding answers for myself. Thanks in advance.

But the real question is... Will it blend?
Punchline: Yes it is blue.

Obviously, I'm just not sure why.
That little blue circle next to Insectile Aberration's card types is called a "color indicator". It serves as a replacement for spelling out its colors in the text box. For more information...

If the spell was Pyroblast, he/she could change the target and target a land for example since Pyroblast doesn't require its target to be blue so the spell can fizzle.
