- Wavemoose is a Beastformer from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Wavemoose (ウェーブムース Wēbumūsu) doesn't like conflict. A mellow and happy-go-lucky sort, he'd be perfectly happy taking strolls on the island of Ellas where he reigns as King, and is very content to let people do as they please provided it's not hurting others. It's a philosophy borne out by his trust in his subordinate Emperor, Brown Gyro, who was originally a member of the Decepticon-backed insurgency to take over planet Beast.
Though he will fight, he will not kill. His power is sound, and he uses it to powerful yet nonlethal effect. He can hear wavelengths from 5,000 to 10,000 hertz, letting him track his quarry with ease. His Wave Mooser (ウェーブムーサー Wēb Mūsā) MVP Weapon uses sonic waves to weaken an enemy, sapping their energy and softening up their armor. It can even give solid rock the consistency of... well, mousse.
