- Elite Guard Bumblebee (Deluxe Class, 2008)
- Accessories: Left & right rocket boosters
Wireless Automated Sales Person was repurposed from Elite Guard Bumblebee.
- A redeco of Animated Deluxe Class Bumblebee, this figure represents Bumblebee after getting Sari to help paint him up in Elite Guard deco as part of his anticipated ascension into their ranks. Dare to dream! He retains all the play-gimmicks of the original, though his arms have been slightly retooled to allow the stingers to recede fully. The color scheme of the toy bears a little resemblance to Stealth Bumblebee from the live-action movie line.
- The Hasbro stock photography and package art for this toy depict "Elite Guard" Bumblebee with his normal yellow helmet. However, the actual toy has a black helmet due to the plastic color layouts.
Notes
[edit]- The hologram's appearance is based on Animated Elite Guard Bumblebee, while his name is a take on Animated Wasp.
- The purple optics, black helmet, off-yellow coloring, and the salesman angle also homages Generation 1 Swindle. The goatee and the nature of how it's promoting corrostop is also reminiscent of late commercial celebrity, Billy Mays.
- An unpublished profile for the WASP by Jesse Wittenrich can be seen on DeviantArt.
- This profile also makes mention of a Shattered Glass incarnation of Magnificus.
