Beet-Chit is a Waruder from the Diaclone continuity family.
Just Beet-Chit, Beet-Chit, Beet-Chit, Beet-Chit / No one wants to be Defeet-Chit

Beet-Chit is the pilot of the mech Zaptrap. An experienced Waruder soldier, Beet-Chit has again and again proved his skill in pursuit and scavenge. Still, one shouldn't give them too much credit—just like the rest of their brood, Beet-Chit and Zaptrap are focused on one single thing: food. To this end, they exert a bit of control over the swarms to overwhelm whatever stands between them and sustenance.

Beet-Chit shares a symbiotic relationship with Zaptrap; in return for a bit of energy from the host's consumption, Beet-Chit gives Zaptrap some intelligence and direction beyond what his limited AI possesses. It is said that removing Beet-Chit from Zaptrap would reduce the mech to dust, but none have witnessed this. On his own, Beet-Chit has mandibles that can be used to cut enemies.

Fiction

[edit]
Beet-Chit and DIE!

Beet-Chit was appointed as a Waruder Field Commander by the King Waruder. He sought to attack Earth, but circumstances took him and his troops out of the universe. Zaptrap and Beet-Chit bio

Due to quantum instability, a number of Waruder troops were transported to Axiom Nexus's distant past when they were shunted over to its universe. They formed a hive, and spent the next 20,000 years undisturbed, evolving and building an elaborate hive deep underground. Cybertron's Most Wanted

Desiring a new body to pilot, Beet-Chit found a lost Zaptrap drone in Cybertron's lower levels and, noting its similarity to his previous Kuwagatrer mech, converted it into an partially organic suit for him to control. Zaptrap and Beet-Chit bio

Zaptrap/Beet-Chit came to lead his soldiers when one of them signaled that intruders had come upon their hive. Identifying C-81 and his band of criminals as "SPACE. RO-BOTS. EN-E-MY.", Zaptrap/Beet-Chit pursued the group with a full squadron of Waruder soldiers, intent on destroying the Cybertronians. Despite more "SPACE. RO-BOTS." joining the fray against them, the Waruders were on the winning side, overpowering their foes with sheer numbers. The battle came to an end when C-81 ripped Beet-Chit out of Zaptrap, and forced the Waruder leader to negotiate peacefully. C-81 then explained to Beet-Chit that they had poisoned the TransTech population through their hive's venom. In exchange for a sample of their venom to create an anti-toxin for the TransTechs, the Waruders would be allowed safe passage to another Cybertron, where they would be allowed to eat its cybertonium in peace. Pleased with the idea of a private buffet of the "TAS-TY" metal for him and his hive, Beet-Chit agreed. Beet-Chit then led his troops through C-81's interuniversal portal to an abandoned Cybertron.

Timelines

  • Zaptrap with Spy-Eye and Beet-Chit (BotCon 2015 attendee bonus)
Timelines Beet-Chit was available at BotCon 2015 as an attendee-only bonus figure. He is a blue and silver redeco of the Mini-Con-sized Chop Shop mold that came with the Generations Legends Class Megatron toy. He packaged came with Basic-sized Zaptrap and fellow small accessory Spy-Eye. Beet-Chit can transform into a stag beetle, a Waruder soldier, a weapon with a 5 mm handle, and a mine plow that can be attached to the aforementioned Megatron's tank mode. He features gearing that opens his pinchers when his legs are moved.
He is admittedly simple, as his transformation from Waruder soldier to beetle is just placing him flat on his chest.
This mold was also used to make Beet-Chop.

Notes

[edit]
  • Beet-Chit's name is inspired by the "Beet-" naming scheme of Takatoku Toys' insectoid mecha toys in the Armored Insect Corps Beetras line that would later become the Deluxe Insecticons. The suffix comes from [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}chitin|{{#if:||chitin}}]], a substance found in the exoskeletons of beetles and other insects, and should be pronounced as "kite".
  • Zaptrap and Beet-Chit's manner of speaking is based on the synthesized speech samples heard in early arcade games like Wizard of Wor and Gorf.
