NAVI-Q

NAVI-Q is a Predacon from the Generation 1 continuity family.

NAVI-Q, which is short for Navigational Questor, is a Predacon artificial intelligence drone tasked with keeping the Predacon Air Warrior Skywasp in line.

Skywasp was partnered with the AI NAVI-Q to keep him in line, but being brought along while teleporting has scrambled her circuits and made her a willing participant in his pranks. She emits a drone tone that can confuse targets, making them more susceptible to Skywasp's pranks.

Toys

Timelines

• Waruder Marauders (BotCon 2015)
  • Accessories: stinger/gun

NAVI-Q was repurposed from Ripper.

Ripper is a blue and gray redeco of the Generations Waspinator sculpt that originally came with the Legends Class Starscream mold. Ripper can transform into a wasp, a Waruder pilot with 3mm-compatible hands, and a gun with 5mm handle. He has an autotransformation feature that folds up his wings when his gun barrel is extended.

Ripper was available in a four-pack at BotCon 2015 that included the four Waruder mechs (Paralyzer, Parasite, Storm Rider and Mudfighter) as well as the three other Waruder troops (Buzzer, Thrasher and Crusher).

This mold was also used to make Generations Venin and Movie Advanced Series Buzz Saw, in addition to the Buzzer, Thrasher and Crusher toys.

Notes

• Skywasp's bio, officially repurposing him and Navi-Q from the Waruder Parasite and Ripper, was shown in a post on the Transformers Collectors' Club Twitter account on their final day of operation.
• NAVI-Q's name takes inspiration from NAVI, in particular DNAVI (which had a similar bug form), and Questor the Alternity group composed of mostly Seekers.
