Wavemoose is a Beastformer from the Generation 1 continuity family.
HEY ROCKY!

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 Wēbu 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.

Fiction

Dreamwave Generation 1 continuity

Wavemoose was among the feuding beasts of planet Beest when Megatron arrived to retrieve the Predacons for his plans. Welcome to the Jungle

Toys

Transformers: Beastformers

Yes, this is an actual Takara Wavemoose, not the Battle Beast release. You can tell by... us telling you.
  • Wavemoose (Beastformer, 1987)
    • Beast ID number: 33
    • Accessories: Pointy-thing weapon
Released in the second series of Takara's Transformers-branded Beastformers assortment, Wavemoose is an anthropomorphic moose wearing high-tech light-blue armor. He has a rubsign on his chest, revealing the elemental power of Fire, Wood, or Water.
As he was only released in the second series, he has two different styles of Beastformer bio card: the initial card has a painted portrait on a wooded backdrop, while his "series 3" release replaces the art with the comic-style image used on the Hasbro Battle Beasts checklist-poster (which also incorrectly shows him with Sea Iron's weapon). Depending on what "Pack" box he came in, there was a chance of his bio card being replaced with a rare "Secret Photo", "Bewitching Serpent Seal", or "VS Holography Mirror" card.

Beastformers

  • Wavemoose (Beastformer, 1988)
    • Beast ID number: 33
    • Accessories: "Wave Mooser" MVP Weapon
Re-released in the Transformers-less Beastformers sequel series, Wavemoose was given a straight re-release with new packaging and a new, more filled-out bio card that's been recolored and partially re-drawn to give him his correct weapon. This new card also gave his weapon, now branded an "MVP Weapon", the name "Wave Mooser".
The initial early releases of this series had the chance for any Beastformer to have the rare Burstsun symbol; we'll probably never know if Wavemoose was ever actually one of them. Later in the run, the "mood ring" styled rubsigns were replaced with new rubsigns that revealed full-color Fire/Wood/Water images on black backdrops. (These rubsign variants also happened at the same time in the Hasbro Battle Beast version of the line.)


  • Wood Beetle (Battle Base, 1988)
    • Accessories: "Wave Mooser" MVP Weapon
Wavemoose was also packed in with the Wood Beetle Battle Base. He is physically unchanged from his prior releases.

Notes

  • Wavemoose's 1988-series bio card gives him the nickname "Waver" (ウェーバー Wēbā), a name that would later be used for the Multiforce Autobot Waver.
