Waspinator (BW)

2007-02-22T22:33:02Z

209.145.133.73: /* Beast Wars */

:''Waspinator is a [[Predacon]] in the [[Beast Era]] portion of the [[Generation 1]] continuity family.''

[[Image:Waspinatorbw.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Chew-toy of fate]]

'''Waspinator''' is the universe's chew-toy. If something goes wrong, it happens to him. If something blows up, he is usually at the center of the explosion (or at least close enough to it) and is therefore blasted into his components. He also doesn't talk very well (he hazz a problem with pronounzzing certain letterzz), so he's easy to make fun of. Some might consider it a "lisp", but really, he just likes the letter "Z" a bit too much. [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] has classified the harebrained Predacon as expendable, much to Waspinator's dismay. This is especially true after the many [[Transmetal|Transmetal]] upgrades that enabled Megatron himself to take to the sky.

Waspinator's not stupid, and has caught on to his lot in life, and tries to avoid his fate as often as possible, but fate always finds him - in the forms of friend and foe, fleshlings, and even Mother Nature. Thankfully, Waspinator is almost supernaturally durable, and has survived the most devastating and humiliating of defeats. Whether this is a boon or a curse is anyone's guess.

[[Image:Waspinatordawn.jpg|left|thumb|250px|Waspy is my copilot, but who the heck is my spellchecker?]]

While [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]], his [[Dinobot (BW)|lieutenant]], and [[Scorponok (BW)|another underling]] stole a Maximal relic, the [[Golden Disk]], the Predacon who would later name himself Waspinator stole a ship along with an accomplice he nicknamed "[[Terrorsaur (BW)|Beakbot]]." The two had a contest to name the ship, but "Waspinator" lost, and thus the stolen ship was dubbed ''[[Darksyde]]''. "Waspinator" believed ''Buzzerbot'' would have been a better name.

He's not alone on that one.

After escaping [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], the ''Darksyde'' was intercepted by the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' and the ''[[Chromia 10]]'', but after an intense space battle, only the ''Darksyde'' and the ''Axalon'' remained. Megatron ordered "Waspinator" to execute their planned [[transwarp]] jump, opening up a portal which both ships entered. {{storylink|Dawn of Future's Past}}

====''Beast Wars''====
[[Image:Waspinator.jpg|right|thumb|"Why universe hate Waspinator?"]]
:''Voice Actor'': [[Scott McNeil]] (US), [[Kensō Katō]] (Japan)
Waspinator, part of Megatron's rogue band of Predacons, landed on an unknown planet with dangerous levels of unstable [[energon]]. To protect themselves from the energon, the Predacons took organic beast modes. In Waspinator's case, he now transformed into a large green wasp. The first conflict between the stranded Predacons and their Maximal pursuers came when the Maximal [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] stumbled across Waspinator.

When [[Rhinox]] had his personality program converted to that of a Predacon, he started surreptitiously taking out he various Predacons. He swung a cargo crate into Waspinator, giving him a concussion, and he (Waspy) flew around in a daze, claiming to be the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]] [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]]. This seems to have been reversed when later, [[Rattrap]] got annoyed at his yattering and shot him down. {{storylink|Dark Designs}}

The Ghost of [[Starscream_(G1)|Starscream]] travelled through time and possessed his body. It took a major explosion to dislodge Starscream's immortal [[spark]] from Waspinator's body. {{storylink|Possession}}

After the [[Vok|aliens]] detonated the unstable energon using the second moon, Waspinator was the first to realize that this seemingly unknown planet is, in fact, [[Earth]]. [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]] had made the same realization and stole into the ''Darksyde'' to retrieve both of Megatron's disks. In the process, Waspinator was crushed into a cube by the disks' security contraption. {{storylink|Coming of the Fuzors, Part 1}}

After the destruction of the ''Darksyde'' at [[Tigerhawk]]'s hands, Megatron sent Waspinator, [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]] and [[Quickstrike (BW)|Quickstrike]] on an errand to find a new base, which was really nothing more than pointless busywork while Megatron went to do more important things. As the trio staked out an early [[human]] tribe that had take up residence in a series of caves, Waspinator finally had enough, and ripped off his [[Faction symbols|Predacon symbol]], declaring himself out of the Beast Wars. Inferno and Quickstrike promptly blasted him to pieces without a word. {{storylink|Nemesis, Part 1}}

His parts recovered by the tribe, Waspinator remained on Earth while all the other surviving Transformers set off for Cybertron, and led the tribe. {{storylink|Nemesis, Part 2}}

For a bit, at least.

Sadly, for Waspinator, the Protohumans he had ruled over grew tired of his presence and forced him to leave the planet and return to Cybertron under his own power. There his spark was removed and used to power the Vehicon general, [[Thrust (BM)|Thrust]]. He was discovered by [[Blackarachnia]] after she thought he was [[Silverbolt]]. {{storylink|The Catalyst}}

Waspinator remained in the "background" and let Thrust run the show, until [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] used an [[extractor]] to remove Waspinator's spark from the body shell. {{storylink|Endgame Part 2: When Legends Fall}}

After Cybertron's [[technorganic]] reformatting, Waspinator returned in his beast mode with Thrust's head, and the size of a standard wasp. He complained to Rattrap about how much he wanted glory and power, but Rattrap simply swatted him away. {{storylink|Endgame Part 3: The Seeds of the Future}}

Why is Waspy in the "Toys 'R' Us Exclusives" category? As far as I know, unless you count the TRU-Japan-Exclusive version of Thrust, all of Waspinator's toys thus far have been general releases, save for the upcoming Botcon version.

The firzzt conflict between the zztranded Predaconzz and their Maximal purzzuerzz came when the Maximal [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] zztumbled acrozzzz Wazzpinator.

When [[Rhinox]] had hizz perzzonality program converted to that of a Predacon, he zztarted zzurrpetitiouzzly taking out he variouzz Predaconzz. He zzwung a cargo crate into Wazzpinator, giving him a concuzzzzion, and he (Wazzpy) flew around in a daze, claiming to be the [[Insecticon (G1)|Inzzecticon]] [[Shrapnel (G1)|ZZhrapnel]]. Thizz zzeemzz to have been reverzzed when later, [[Rattrap]] got annoyed at hizz yattering and zzhot him down. {{Storylink|Dark Designs}}

The Ghozzt of [[Starscream_(G1)|Zztarzzcream]] travelled through time and pozzzzezzzzed hizz body. It took a major explozzion to dizzlodge zztarzzcream'zz immortal [[spark]] from Wazzpinator'zz body. {{storylink|Possession}}

After the [[Vok|aliens]] detonated the unzztable energon uzzing the zzecond moon, Wazzpinator wazz the firzzt to realize that thizz zzeemingly unknown planet izz, in fact, [[Earth]]. [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]] had made the zzame realization and zztole into the ''Darkzzyde'' to retrieve both of Megatron'zz dizzkzz. In the procezzzz, Wazzpinator wazz cruzzhed into a cube by the dizzkzz' zzecurity contraption. {{storylink|Coming of the Fuzors, Part 1}}

After the dezztruction of the ''Darkzzyde'' at [[Tigerhawk]]'zz handzz, Megatron zzent Wazzpinator, [[Inferno (BW)|Inferno]] and [[Quickstrike (BW)|Quickzztrike]] on an errand to find a new bazze, which wazz really nothing more than pointlezzzz buzzywork while Megatron went to do more important thingzz. Azz the trio zztaked out an early [[human]] tribe that had take up rezzidence in a zzeriezz of cavezz, Wazzpinator finally had enough, and ripped off hizz [[Faction symbols|Predacon zzymbol]], declaring himzzelf out of the Beazzt Warzz. Inferno and Quickzztrike promptly blazzted him to piecezz without a word. {{storylink|Nemesis, Part 1}}

Hizz partzz recovered by the tribe, Wazzpinator remained on Earth while all the other zzurviving Tranzzformerzz zzet off for Cybertron, and led the tribe. {{storylink|Nemesis, Part 2}}

zzadly, for Wazzpinator, the Protohumanzz he had ruled over grew tired of hizz prezzence and forced him to leave the planet and return to Cybertron under hizz own power. There hizz zzpark wazz removed and uzzed to power the Vehicon general, [[Thrust (BM)|Thruzzt]]. He wazz dizzcovered by [[Blackarachnia]] after zzhe thought he wazz [[Silverbolt]]. {{storylink|The Catalyst}}

Wazzpinator remained in the "background" and let Thruzzt run the zzhow, until [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] uzzed an [[extractor]] to remove Wazzpinator'zz zzpark from the body zzhell. {{storylink|Endgame Part 2: When Legends Fall}}

After Cybertron'zz [[technorganic]] reformatting, Wazzpinator returned in hizz beazzt mode with Thruzzt'zz head, and the zzize of a zztandard wazzp. He complained to Rattrap about how much he wanted glory and power, but Rattrap zzimply zzwatted him away. {{storylink|Endgame Part 3: The Seeds of the Future}}
