Wingwaver

Wingwaver is two Autobots from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Laughed so hard at his own name that his sides are splitting.

Wingwaver (ウイングウェーバー Uinguwēbā) is the combined form of the Autobot Multiforce members Wing and Waver. Possibly one of the most bizarre combination groups, converting to vehicle mode typically leaves half of him sitting high and dry. Wing, as leader of the Multiforce, is typically the dominant member of this pairing and as such is sure to always be the top.

While cocky and self-assured, Wingwaver feels very much like the lesser counterpart to Brainmaster leader Blacker.

Fiction

Generation 1 Japanese cartoon continuity

Victory cartoon

Voice actor: Masashi Hironaka (Japanese)

Wingwaver was the somewhat hot-headed leader of the Autobot Multiforce, operating under Star Saber's supervision when the latter was promoted to become Supreme Commander of all the Autobots. The Brave Hero of the Universe - Star Saber The Multiforce comprised a sizeable portion of Star Saber's forces, and settled on Earth shortly after their leader's promotion. Wingwaver was still something of a junior officer, leader of his own troops but still a rookie in the eyes of Star Saber's other troops, the Brainmasters, especially their veteran leader Blacker. Wingwaver often felt like he needed to justify himself to Blacker, and made careless mistakes at times because of that. He once accidentally gave away the Autobots' position during a covert mission that depended on reaching the Decepticon installation undetected. Despite this, Blacker took responsibility for his actions when questioned by Star Saber, and this eased Wingwaver's self-doubt somewhat. Explosion!! The Energy Base

Wingwaver was among a crowd of Autobots that had assembled to hear Prowl totally fail to give a speech about how great things were really going to be on Cybertron. Skyfire
