Skywasp

Skywasp is a Predacon from the Beast Era portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
"I know, I'll open a window!"
"Bryan, no! Sky waaaasps!"

Skywasp is a cruel, petty Predacon Air Warrior who takes delight in playing cruel pranks on Maximals using his teleportation powers, stinging them from behind and teleporting away before being seen. He even attacks other Predacons for his personal amusement.

Sounds familiar.

Skywasp was partnered with the AI NAVI-Q to keep him in line, but being brought along while teleporting has scrambled her circuits and made her a willing participant in his pranks. His antics have attracted the attention of the Maximals Ultra Mammoth and Randy.

Toys

Timelines

[edit]
I will puzhhh them down the stairs!
  • Accessories: stinger/gun
Skywasp was repurposed from Parasite.
Timelines Parasite is a black, purple, red, and gold redeco of the Generations Deluxe Class Waspinator sculpt, based on the unreleased "Horrorcon" redeco of Transmetal Waspinator. Parasite retains the original toy's wing-beating gimmick.
Parasite was available in a four-pack at BotCon 2015 that included the three other Waruder mechs (Paralyzer, Storm Rider, and Mudfighter) as well as the four Waruder troops (Buzzer, Ripper, Thrasher, and Crusher). Parasite can wield any of the four Waruder troops in their weapon modes, but is nominally associated with the Ripper toy.

Buzzworthy Bumblebee

[edit]
He's Skywasp, Parasite, and Horrorcon Waspinator all at once.
  • Creatures Collide (4-pack, 2022)
  • Series: Legacy
  • Accessories: Stinger blaster, alternate head
  • Known designers: Mark Maher (Hasbro)
Part of the Buzzworthy Bumblebee "Creatures Collide" 4-pack, Skywasp is a redeco of Kingdom Waspinator, transforming from a robot into a mostly black-and-purple wasp in 20 steps. Skywasp's blaster stores within his abdomen and is molded to resemble Waspinator's gun. Compared to his Timelines toy, Legacy Skywasp's translucent wings are a more saturated shade of red. Skywasp has far more 5 mm ports for the C.O.M.B.A.T. System/F.O.S.S.I.L. Technology compared to most other Beast Wars-styled characters released at the time. He also includes a copy of this mold's alternate head, which originally debuted with Legacy Buzzsaw, with the instructions encouraging buyers to swap and change the heads at the neck ball joint. Designer Mark Maher noted that this head was earmarked for use as Parasite, returning the favor of the original Parasite toy's repurposing.<ref>Design notes on the Creatures Collide box set from Hasbro designer Mark Maher.</ref>
Alongside Skywasp, the set also includes Autobot Goldbug, Ransack, and Predacon Scorponok. The Buzzworthy Bumblebee line was exclusive to Target in the U.S.
