'''Waspinator''' is the universe's chewtoy.  If something goes wrong, it happens to him.  If something blows up, he'll be blasted into his component parts.  He also doesn't talk very well (he has a problem with pronouns), so he's easy to make fun of.  [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] has classified the harebrained Predacon as expendable, much to Waspinator's dismay.  Waspinator's not stupid, and has caught on to his lot in life, and tries to avoid his fate as often as possible, but fate always finds him.  Thankfully, Waspinator is almost supernaturally durable, and has survived the most devastating and humiliating of defeats. Whether this is a boon or a curse is anyone's guess.

Waspinator, part of Megatron's rogue band of Predacons, landed on an unknown planet with dangerous levels of unstable [[energon]].  To protect themselves from the energon, the Predacons took organic beast modes.  In Waspinator's case, he now transformed into a large green wasp.  The first conflict between the stranded Predacons and their Maximal pursuers came when the Maximal [[Cheetor (BW)|Cheetor]] stumbled across Waspinator.

When [[Rhinox]] had his personality program converted to that of a Predacon, he started surrpetitiously taking out he various Predacons.  He swung a cargo crate into Waspinator, giving him a concussion, and he (Waspy) flew around in a daze, claiming to be the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]] [[Shrapnel (G1)|Shrapnel]].

After the [[Vok|aliens]] detonated the unstable energon using the second moon, Waspinator was the first to realize that this seemingly unknown planet is, in fact, [[Earth]].  [[Dinobot (BW)|Dinobot]] had made the same realization and stole into the ''Darksyde'' to retrieve both of Megatron's disks.  In the process, Waspinator was crushed into a cube by the disks' security contraption. {{storylink|Coming of the Fuzors, Part 1}}
