| '''Venin'''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> preferred method of attack is to pierce the armor of his enemies with his stinger and move out of range while his poison attacks their systems from the inside and [[Acid Storm (G1)|Acid Storm]]'s rain corrodes them from the outside.

| Venin and [[Buzz Saw (AOE)|Buzz Saw]] were the sons of [[Waspinator (BW)|Waspinator]], with whom they celebrated [[Christmas]]. {{storylink|Merry X'mas!!}} When [[Tankor (BM)|Tankor]] tried to convert him into a [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]] fan, Waspinator-turned-[[Thrust (BM)|Thrust]] refused on behalf of his kids, telling Tankor they had no idea who the [[Optimus Prime (G1)|original Optimus Prime]] was. {{storylink|Legends Vol. 17#I'm Tankor, dana!|I'm Tankor, dana!}}

| :Part of the seventh wave of 2012-onwards ''Generations'' Legends Class toys, ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Venin is a [[redeco]] of [[Waspinator (BW)/toys#Generations|Waspinator]]. His coloring seems to be an homage to the G1 Pretender [[Bugly (G1)|Bugly]] or the [[Insecticon (G1)|G1 cartoon Insecticons]]. He comes with [[Acid Storm (G1)#Generations|Acid Storm]]. Venin can transform into a purple insect, a robot with [[C joint|3mm-compatible]] hands, and a gun with a [[5mm post|5mm handle]]. He has an [[autotransformation]] feature that folds up his wings when his gun barrel is extended.

| :Compared to Waspinator, many of Venin's plastic parts are considerably softer, giving him a much less solid feel.

| | |
| :This sculpt was also used to make ''[[Movie Advanced Series]]'' [[Buzz Saw (AOE)|Buzz Saw]], as well as the four [[Waruder]] pilots for [[BotCon 2015]], [[Ripper (Diaclone)|Ripper]], [[Buzzer (Diaclone)|Buzzer]], [[Thrasher (Diaclone)|Thrasher]], and [[Crusher (Diaclone)|Crusher]].

| ==Notes==
| |
| *Venin was originally designed with the colors of Deluxe Insecticon [[Venom (G1)|Venom]], back when Acid Storm was going to be [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] <ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/96686-generations-legends-targetmaster-moulds/?p=2517377 Joe Kyde's comment on allspark.com]</ref> but the colors were changed sometime between then and production, presumably to match his new partner.
