Waspinator is the secondary antagonist of the Beast Era of the Transformers Generation One franchise, serving as a major antagonist in Transformers: Beast Wars and the secondary antagonist of its sequel series Transformers: Beast Machines.
He is one of the six original Predacons who allied with Megatron to steal the Golden Disk, before becoming stranded on pre-historic Earth. Of the Predacons, Waspinator is generally considered to be their most bumbling and incompetent member, often easily being taken down by the Maximals and used as a pawn by Megatron and the other Predacons in their schemes. Ultimately, this would lead to him finally abandoning the Predacons at the end of the Beast Wars; although he would later return to Megatron's side after being brainwashed and transformed into the Vehicon Thrust. His beast form is a wasp. He is the archenemy of Cheetor.
He was voiced by Scott McNeil, who also portrayed The Evil Masked Figure in Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, Flam and Rover in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Antoine Thomas in Dead Rising 2, Dr. Wily in Mega Man, Veigar, Sion and Hecarim in League of Legends, Ali Al-Saachez in Mobile Suit Gundam 00, Voltar in League of Super-Evil, The Overlord, Clouse and Nadakhan in Lego Ninjago, and Tall Boy in Riverdale.
Biography[]
Dawn of the Future's Past[]
Waspinator was ordered to assault on Predacon hangar, kill everyone in there, and secure an escape spacecraft while the rest of Predacons under Megatron's command was stealing Golden Disk from By-4, a secret Maximal facility. He was partnered with Buzzbomb, a Predacon loyal to Cryotek. After successfully accomplishing this task, Waspinator is reunited with Terrorsaur who proceeds to kill Buzzbomb. After eliminating Buzzbomb, Terrorsaur and Waspinator debates on what their escape craft's name should be: Darksyde or Buzzerbot. Eventually Terrorsaur's suggestion was won.
During this time Waspinator's alternate mode was a jet.
Transformers: Beast Wars[]
Waspinator often gets beat up or blown to bits. Waspinator did not become a Transmetal, as he was knocked into a repair chamber because of the quantum surge. Near the end of Season 3, Waspinator quit the Beast Wars, as he was tired of being evil and getting beat up. His final injuries were suffered when Quickstrike and Inferno blasted him.
After the Beast Wars ended and the Maximals captured Megatron, Waspinator was granted the option of staying on Earth as an exile, which he took (his other choice would be facing trial at Maximal court as a war criminal). He finally found happiness on Earth, being worshipped by the protohumans as a god.
Transformers: Beast Machines[]
- Main article: Thrust (Beast Machines)
In Transformers: Beast Machines, Waspinator rejoined Megatron on Cybertron after the protohumans kicked him out of their settlement for flicking rocks at their heads and grew tired of his rule over them. Once home on Cybertron, he was transformed into the Vehicon general Thrust.
He loved being a cool biker-bot as he now got respect and was finding chicks dig the new brooding bad boy slick and he also enjoyed being Megatron's new right-hand bot.
Thrust was one of the first of Megatron's Vehicon generals to be created, and was the last one to stand against the Maximals. He is commander of the Motorcycle Drones, he is a dark, cold, brooding type, and is absolutely devoted to Megatron's goals, even though he knows what it means in the end for him.
In the final battle, Cheetor removes Waspinator's spark from the body shell by extracting it.
After Optimus Primal makes the ultimate sacrifice in order to save the Maximals and defeat Megatron by reformatting Cybertron into a technorganic planet, Waspinator returned to his original Beast Mode body, but now the size of a regular wasp, retaining the head of Thrust and unable to transform. The powerless Waspinator flew to the Maximals on the revived Cybertron, complaining that he wanted glory and power, but he never gets what he wants, Rattrap responds by swatting him away, sending the wasp flying into the distance.
