Waspinator


...............
...

...........

Alliance: Predacon
Identification: Wasp

Comments: Since Waspinator was part of the very first releases, he was released on a "rock bubble" package (see packaging designs for more info and above pic). The newer release is on a "soft bubble" card which you can see on second year releases. Each one of the designs is nice but the very first release has a slicker look (and is therefore a variation which I do not collect)!!!

Like many of the first releases, Waspinator is a popular character from the television series. His action figure is tough to track down and many people have asked me where to get one. He's a pretty slick figure but a teeny bit blander in color than other Beast Wars releases.

His wasp form is very convincing (although freaking huge). I'm allergic to wasps so I can't even imagine seeing one this big. He is a greenish color with a yellow/black back end. He also has gray wings and black tentacles. He has a pretty slick look although a little paler in colors than usual.

After you remove the stinger you can begin to transform Waspinator into robot form. He has some pretty good steps and makes you feel as if you got your money's worth. The robot form is nice and looks pretty close to his television counterpart. Once you take the stinger and flip it around, it becomes Waspinator's gun. You can then enter a missile (which are hidden behind his wings) and shoot it out. Kind of cool!!

He has a pretty unique form. Although not prefect, Waspinator makes a worthy addition to any Beast Wars collection. Good luck finding one though...........

 



Like a rattle snake's tail before an attack, a chilling sound buzzes in the distance as if to forecast approaching danger. Suddenly from the sky the giant wasp appears, revealing its monstrous face and bulging eyes as it streaks down for an aerial attack! The Waspinator launches its secret wing missiles, striking the helpless victims below with the poisonous power of a robotic cyber-sting!
