Waspinator also has a tendency to have the last word in every series finale.
He came packaged with one of the six pieces used to make the Transmutate toy and a DVD with the episode Possession on it.Īs the Vehicon General Thrust he was in charge of the Cycle Drones and was one of the few who remained an ally to Megatron until the very end. In 2005 the original Waspinator toy was one of the toys selected for the Beast Wars 10th Anniversary toyline, repainted in more show-accurate colors. There was also a "Fox Kids" repaint of his original form, which was in new colors, and one of his transmetal form which had the colors of Buzz Saw. Īlthough a transmetal version of Waspinator was made in the toy line, Waspinator remained in his original form in the television series from first episode to last (the only one of the original five Predacons to do so). Buzz Saw was depicted in the comics with the robot head. Waspinator came with two different heads, a robotic and mutant head, but the television series only ever depicted him with the mutant head. Waspinator's toy was recolored as the Predacon Buzz Saw, a character who only appeared in the comic series. " at which point he is blown apart by Inferno and Quickstrike. Before he quit, he gave a speech," I said NO! Dragon-bot command you, Sub-commander kiss-butt! Dragon-bot not command Wazzpinator, not any more! Wazzpinator sick of being evil, sick of being Predacon! And Wazzpinator especially sick of GETTING BLOWN TO SCRAP ALL THE TIME!!! Sooo, Wazzpinator quit! As of now, which means Ant-bot and two-heads can just pucker their mandibles, and plant BIIG wet juicy one right here, on Wazzpinator's. In the final episode, Waspinator had enough of being a Predacon since evil people get blown up. Rattrap once mentioned that he had a large collection of Waspinator's parts. He has been proven to be disloyal when he thinks he can get away with it, but most of the time he follows Megatron's orders and gets blown to pieces in the process - and usually, that was Megatron's plan. The only logical explanation (never confirmed) is that Starscream's immortal spark passed a little bit of its indestructible properties to Waspinator when he was possessed. He is not so much a bad fighter as he is incredibly unlucky, being considered highly expendable by Megatron and most of the other Predacons too. Waspinator displays an ability to put himself back together and move even when in pieces - and he needs it. His beast mode is a wasp and his name is based on The Terminator. He is also dim-witted, talks in a broken third-person speech pattern, often referring to other characters, except Megatron, Optimus Primal, and himself,(however when Megatron became a dragon, Waspinator referred to him as "Dragon-Bot") by names that reflected their transformation modes instead of their true names (example: referring to Silverbolt as "Doggy-Bot") and spent most of the series as an underdog, causing him to take constant abuse from Maximal and Predacon alike (thus summing up Waspinator's most well-known line "Why universe hate Waspinator?!") making him one of the more fan-favorite characters on the show. Waspinator is best remembered for being the universe's whipping boy: getting destroyed or demolished in almost every episode of Beast Wars, yet returning in almost perfect condition in the very next episode.
