Skywasp

This article is about the Predacon. For other variations of the name "Skywarp", see Skywarp (disambiguation).

Skywasp is a Predacon from the Generation 1 continuity family.

He's either Hellwarp's brother, or Waspscream's.

Skywasp is a cruel, petty Predacon Air Warrior who takes delight in playing cruel pranks on Maximals using his teleportation powers, stinging them from behind and teleporting away before being seen. He even attacks other Predacons for his personal amusement.

Sounds familiar.

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. His antics have attracted the attention of the Maximals Ultra Mammoth and Randy.

Toys

Timelines

I will puzhhh them down the stairs!

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

Skywasp was repurposed from Parasite.

Parasite is a black, purple, red, and gold redeco of the Generations Deluxe Class Waspinator sculpt, based on the unreleased "Horrorcon" redeco of Transmetal Waspinator. He retains the original toy's wing-beating gimmick.

Parasite was available in a four-pack at BotCon 2015 that included the three other Waruder mechs (Paralyzer, Storm Rider, and Mudfighter) as well as the four Waruder troops (Buzzer, Ripper, Thrasher, and Crusher). He can wield any of the four Waruder troops in their weapon modes, but is nominally associated with the Ripper toy.

Notes

• Skywasp's bio, officially repurposing him from the Waruder Parasite, was shown in a post on the Transformers Collectors' Club Twitter account on their final day of operation.
• Skywasp being pursued by Ultra Mammoth and Randy is a nod to Skywarp mega-fan Randy Para, aka "Powered Convoy", who authored his bio.
