Revision as of 23:51, 26 August 2014

Injector is a Predacon from the Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Fish heads, fish heads, roly-poly fish heads!

Injector has a self-esteem problem—he has too much self-esteem. Despite his freakish appearance, Injector is convinced that he's the handsomest thing on six legs. But his vain, foppish demeanor belies his true nature; his charisma, cunning, and sheer malevolence make him a lethal opponent. Like other Air Commanders of the past, Injector's vanity doesn't prevent him from being one of the deadliest air terrors of all.

Some people have suggested Injector only acts vain to hide his secret pain. Damn apologists.

Fiction

IDW Beast Wars comics

His original Cybertronian alt-mode was that of a sleek fighter jet, before he gained his current Fuzor form on Earth. Beast Wars Sourcebook

Injector was among the protoforms remotely reprogrammed into Predacons by Magmatron. He was dispatched by Ravage to scan for Razorbeast's Maximals from the air. The Gathering #3 When Manterror discovered the fugitive Maximals, Injector battled Stinkbomb in the battle that ensued. After Magmatron was defeated, Injector presumably retreated with the rest of his comrades. The Gathering #4

Weeks later, Injector led the aerial charge in the all-out assault ordered by Ravage on Razorbeast's Maximals. The Ascending #1 He witnessed the arrival of the Pack's starship, though the battle with these Maximal reinforcements was soon interrupted by Rartorata. The Ascending #2 Transquito noted the Angolmois-fueled newcomer's resemblance to Injector, but Injector refused to acknowledge it. He then helped take his look-a-like down to earth by stabbing him in the abdomen with his stinger arm. The Ascending #3

Injector returned to Cybertron aboard the Pack's transwarp cruiser and joined in on an aerial assault against the mad demi-god Shokaract, but he was blasted out of the sky. The Ascending #4

Toys

Beast Wars

Hey Dr. Zoidberg, what's that jazz on your head?
  • Injector (Deluxe, 1998)
Injector is a red, black, and yellow lionfish-hornet Fuzor. He features a firing spring-loaded aquasting missile and pop-up spines. He was slightly redecoed to make Rartorarta.


Notes

  • Injector was originally going to be named Aquasting. This name showed up in the commercial advertising Injector's toy.
  • Injector is one of the most notorious peg-warmers of all time. To the days of Armada, Toys "R" Us shelves could still be found lined with schools (swarms?) of Injector figures.

Foreign names

  • Italian: Terror Torpedo
  • Spanish: Inyector
