| 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),<ref>[http://rid-nightviper.deviantart.com/art/Around-Cybertron-6-138747992 Around Cybertron #6 comments]</ref> and "he'll" fill your commercial marketing needs. He frequently airs on spots during ABN's popular show ''[[Around Cybertron]]''.

| : A [[redeco]] of [[Bumblebee (Animated)#Deluxe|Deluxe Bumblebee]], this figure represents Bumblebee after getting Sari to help paint him up in [[Cybertron Elite Guard|Elite Guard]] deco as part of his anticipated ascension into their ranks. Dare to dream! He retains all the play-[[gimmick]]s of the original, though his arms have been slightly [[retool]]ed to allow the stingers to recede fully. The color scheme of the toy bears a little resemblance to [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Deluxe Class toys|Stealth Bumblebee]] from the [[Movie (toyline)|live-action movie line]].

| |
| ==Notes==
| |
| * The hologram's appearance seems to be based on [[Bumblebee (Animated)#EliteGuard|''Animated'' Elite Guard Bumblebee]], while his name is a take on [[Wasp|''Animated'' Wasp]].
| |
| * The purple optics, black helmet, off-yellow coloring and the salesman angle also homages [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]]. The goatee and the nature of how it's promoting corrostop is also reminiscent of late commercial celebrity, [[wikipedia:Billy Mays|Billy Mays]].
