	:''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)\|Legends]]'' Waspeeter is a redeco of ''Generations'' Deluxe Class Waspinator, exclusive to [[Transformers Fes2016]]. Unlike the previous TakaraTomy version of the toy, it tones down the metallic plastic finish, most noticeably changing its gold to yellow. It also paints the bee stripes on the robot head's antenna. The toy comes packaged with a Waspinator edition mini-comic, "[[~~Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol.~~ EX (Waspinator~~)\|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX~~]]".		:''[[Transformers Legends (franchise)\|Legends]]'' Waspeeter is a redeco of ''Generations'' Deluxe Class Waspinator, exclusive to [[Transformers Fes2016]].

A spring-loaded-and-geared trigger on his back makes his wings beat back and forth. Just as with his classic toy, a portion of his wasp abdomen detaches to become a hand-held blaster weapon, though this time it has a simple flip-out, non firing "stinger" barrel.
