Self-confessed Beast Wars and Armada lover.
Hot Shot aficionado.
In case you're wondering, the name is an amalgam of [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot-Shot]] and [[Waspinator |Waspinator]].
Coined the term "wasping" to denote hunting for blind-packed [[Mini-Con|Mini-cons]] after alerting the international transfan community to the release of UK exclusive single-packed 2008 12-pack figures, of which [[Brimstone (Universe)|some]] [[Bodyblock (Universe)|were]] [[Cloudraker (Universe)|variants]]. Through the days after the discovery and subsequent Seibertron forum chatter, he coined the term on December 11th 2010 (the term was used exclusively on Seibertron.com, so don't worry if you haven't ever heard it in use.) To this end a "wasper" is someone who hunts for these figures.
He also gets carried away talking about himself in the third person and likes to make lists. One such list catalogues every single figure in his collection. It's a good idea, you should do it too.
In case you're wondering, the name is an amalgam of [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Armada Hot-Shot]] and [[Waspinator|Beast Wars Waspinator]]. Speculate the reason why at your peril!
Will sound like a complete nob-end once you've read this page.
He also likes to talk about himself in the third person and likes to make lists.
[[Thundercracker (Armada)|Thundercracker]]: he's not broken but he's a piece of scrap.
'''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'''
[[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]]: overly loose left shoulder
[[Hot Rod (G1)/toys|Rodimus]]: scratched flame detailing.
'''[[Movie (toyline)|Movie (2007)]]'''
[[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]]: missing missile. (I swear it just seemed to vanish into some other dimension, I fired it one day and never saw where it went.)
'''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Hunt for the Decepticons]]'''
[[Sideswipe (Movie)| Sidearm Sideswipe]]: pistol storage attachment broke off of hinge.
'''[[Reveal the Shield|Reveal the Shield]]'''
[[Starscream (G1)/toys|Legends Starscream]]: two small pegs behind vehicle mode cockpit snapped off and stuck in corresponding holes on fold over panels/ robot mode null rays.
So remember transfans, your bots can break! Handle with care!
