| | |
| :Part of the seventh wave of 2012-onwards ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)#T30|Generations]]'' Legends Class toys, ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Venin is a [[redeco]] of [[Waspinator (BW)/toys#Generations|Waspinator]], in sorta-[[Insecticon (G1)|Generation 1 Insecticon]] colors. Venin can transform into a purple insect, a robot with [[C joint|3 mm-compatible]] hands, and a gun with a [[5 mm post|5 mm handle]]. He has an [[autotransformation]] feature that folds up his wings when his gun barrel is extended.
| |
| | |
| : He was only available in a two-pack with the Legends Class [[Acid Storm (G1)#Generations|Acid Storm]]. Compared to Waspinator, many of Venin's parts are considerably softer, giving him a much less solid feel.

| ==Notes==
| |
| *Venin was originally designed with the colors of Deluxe Insecticon [[Venom (G1)|Venom]], back when Acid Storm was going to be [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Thundercracker]] <ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/96686-generations-legends-targetmaster-moulds/?p=2517377 Joe Kyde's comment on allspark.com]</ref> but the colors were changed sometime between then and production, presumably to match his new partner.
