Read more about Waspinator at: Wikipedia Official Site: Hasbro Waspinator is the name of several fictional characters from the various Transformers universes. He is sometimes called Wasp. Wired Magazine once nominated him as one 12 most ridiculous Transformers of all time. Waspinator is best remembered for being the universe's whipping boy: getting destroyed or demolished in almost every episode of Beast Wars, yet returning in almost perfect condition in the very next episode. He is also dim-witted, talks in a broken third-person speech pattern, often referring to other characters, except Megatron, Optimus Primal, and himself, by names that reflected their transformation modes instead of their true names (example: referring to Silverbolt as "Doggy-Bot") and spent most of the series as an underdog, causing him to take constant abuse from Maximal and Predacon alike (thus summing up Waspinator's most well-known line "Why universe hate Waspinator?!") making him one of the more fan-favorite characters on the show. His beast mode is a wasp and his name is based on The Terminator. Waspinator displays an ability to put himself back together and move even when in pieces - and he needs it. He is not so much a bad fighter as he is incredibly unlucky, being considered highly expendable by Megatron and most of the other Predacons too. The only logical explanation (never confirmed) is that Starscream's immortal spark passed a little bit of its indestructible properties to Waspinator when he was possessed. He has been proven to be disloyal when he thinks he can get away with it, but most of the time he follows Megatron's orders and gets blown to pieces in the process - and usually, that was Megatron's plan. Rattrap once mentioned that he had a large collection of Waspinator's parts. Some of the abuse he sustains includes being possessed by Starscream's spark, receiving severe torture from Rattrap including a "robo-noogie", being crushed into a cube and subsequently ignored by other Predacons (Oh, sure, don't mind Waspinator! Waspinator just lie here and suffer, drag himself to CR Tank), being blasted to pieces by a stasis pod ("Wazzzpinator flying along, minding own business, and BAM!, get whole stasis pod up the kazoodie!"), sliced to shreds by Transmetal II Dinobot, being smashed completely flat by Optimus Primal, and his final classic rebellion which resulted in him surviving the Beast Wars. In the Beast Wars TV show, Waspinator's weapons were two grenade launching pistols and optical lasers that were only used in the first, fourth, and seventh episodes.
