Wavemoose is a Beastformer from the Generation 1 continuity family.
HEY ROCKY!

Wavemoose (ウェーブムース Wēbumūsu) doesn't like conflict. A mellow and happy-go-lucky sort, he's perfectly happy taking strolls on the island of Ellas where he reigns as King, and is very content to let people do as they please provided it's not hurting others. Not that he's a loner by any means; even during the height of the war, he would take the time to talk to the younger beasts, help them out with any problems they had. He believes in helping. It's a philosophy borne out by his relationship with his subordinate Emperor Brown Gyro, who was originally a member of Alligatron's Decepticon-backed insurgency to take over planet Beast. The reclusive, defensive bully has slowly softened working under Wavemoose, gaining confidence and learning to help rather than hurt.

Though he will fight, he will not kill. His power is sound, and he uses it to powerful yet nonlethal effect. He can hear wavelengths from 5,000 to 10,000 hertz, letting him track his quarry with ease. His Wave Mooser (ウェーブムーサー Wēbu Mūsā) MVP Weapon uses sonic waves to weaken an enemy, sapping their energy and softening up their armor. It can even give solid rock the consistency of... well, mousse.

Fiction

Toys

Transformers: Beastformers

Yes, this is an actual Takara Wavemoose, not the Battle Beast release. You can tell by... us telling you.
  • Wavemoose (Beastformer, 1987)
    • ID number: 33
    • Pack: C
    • Accessories: Pointy-thing weapon
Released in the second series of Takara's Transformers-branded Beastformers assortment, Wavemoose is an anthropomorphic moose wearing high-tech light-blue armor. The Battle Emblem on his chest reveals the elemental power of Fire, Wood, or Water when warmed up.
He was only available in the "C Pack" assortment, and came in a green-grid generic "Cybertron Beastformer" box. He came with a bio card with a painted character image on a jungle backdrop, though there was a chance his bio card would instead be replaced with the rare "Secret Photo" card featuring White Leo.


Beastformers

  • Wood Beetle (Fortress, 1988)
    • ID number: 33
    • Accessories: "Wave Mooser" MVP Weapon
Wavemoose was also packed in with the Wood Beetle Fortress in Beastformers' post-Transformers sequel series. He is unchanged from his original release, though he comes with a new, more filled-out bio card with comic-style line-art for the character image. This card also gave his weapon, now branded an "MVP Weapon", the name "Wave Mooser".
It is possible that later runs of this toy gave Strong Hippo the full-color rubsign found in the later "RPG" series Beastformers, but this has not been confirmed.


Notes

  • Wavemoose's 1988-series bio card gives him the nickname "Waver" (ウェーバー Wēbā), a name that would later be used for the Multiforce Autobot Waver.
