- A Wireless Automated Sales Person is a sentient hologram in the Shattered Glass continuity family.
Need your latest product advertised, but just can't find a suitable celebrity willing to hawk it? Just call on a Wireless Automated Sales Person (or "WASP" for short),[1] and "he'll" fill your commercial marketing needs. He frequently airs on spots during ABN's popular show Around Cybertron.
Fiction
Shattered Glass
WASP advertised the amazing shiny cleaning powers of corrostop in a commercial during Around Cybertron. Around Cybertron
Toys
- Elite Guard Bumblebee (Deluxe, 2008)
- Accessories: Left & right rocket boosters
- A redeco of Deluxe 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
- The hologram's appearance seems to be 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.
