Waspinator not only avoided being offlined by a cosmically powered Starscream but he is one of the few bots possessed by a cosmically LOST Starscream

my headcannon is that Waspintor's spark is just as "immortal" as that of Starscream's which is why he was always able to survive and pull himself back together again as well as why Waspinator was possessed by Starscream.

“Waspinator has a headache in his whole body.” I still use that quote.

KENNY: "I die EVERY episode." WASPINATOR: "Hold Wazzzpinator's beer."

Funny thing Scott McNeil dose whenever asked about Transformers animated Waspinator. He says this little line he made up "Waspinator doesn't want to live in pineapple under the sea".

Waspinator happy, Waspinator loved by Fan's. Even if he is hated by universe waspinator still happy

*_"Why does Universe hate Waspinator?"_* - _Waspinator._

It’s kinda funny how badass his design is and how not badass he is.

I will always choose Waspinator as my vice president, so in case I am assassinated I can possess him and continue to rule.

imagine getting promised to get a waspinator toy, but because of the running gag they give you an empty box

Waspinator: "Destroy all Autobot-b-bot-bot-bot-bot!" Megaton: “Waspinator, what are you buzzing about?" Waspinator: "Waspinator? Negative-negative-negative! I am Shrapnel, Decepticon hero-o-o-o!" Blackarachnia: "Shrapnel? That was a Decepticon from the Great Wars three centuries ago! He's wacko." Waspinator:"Wacko? No, Wonko! Wonko the Sane!"

The only way that Transformers are safe from a Cosmically Powered Starscream are the ones who *never met a Cosmically Powered Starscream.* *DIDN’T STOP WASPINATOR FROM GETTING POSSESSED BY A NON-COSMICALLY POWERED STARSCREAM.*

My favourite Waspinator incarnation has to be the Animated incarnation. Even though he was a jerk before becoming Waspinator, he didn’t deserve the crap thrown at him which made him Waspinator (framed by Shockwave, Blackarachnia using him as an experiment) in the first place.

One of my favourite Beast Wars moments will always be when Waspinator FINALLY stood up for himself… even if it did literally blow up in his face. Speaks wonders for the show’s writing when even the comic relief character has some character development. I’ll always think of Waspinator as the Transformers equivalent to Kenny from South Park. He suffered but we loved him for it 😜

Waspinator under attack, Waspinator engage ennnnemy, Waspinator, TERRORISE Love the reference to Endor where the early humans are drumming on Inferno's head and using their parts as props. My favourite Beastwars transformer and Predacon

"Waspinator not want to be destroyed, Waspinator has PLANS!" -Take a guess

Im so glad they didn't kill off Waspinator in the second episode. Waspinator is easily my favorite Predacon besides Megaton, I enjoy every scene Waspinator appeared especially beast machines. Although I do feel bad for him sometimes when all the BS happens to him. Props to you for covering this topic and making me love this character even more and Merry Christmas and bless your channel.

I still remember watching Beast Machines for the first time and unlike Black Arachnia being overjoyed to learn Thrust was Waspinator! Bird Bot not here. - Waspinator No! - Black Arachnia Yes! - Me as a kid (In Beast Wars Megatron tone)

It's funny how Waspinator has survived being constantly blown apart. I like to think that, like Starscream, he has an immortal spark.

Even if the universe hates you, we all love you Waspinator

Possibly one of the funniest characters in Transformers history

"Waspinator wants power, Waspinator wants glory" Gets slapped away by ratrap.

And a Merry Chrismcfeely to you too

“Waspinator cannot go offline, Waspinator has plans” -Waspinator

I'm always fascinated by the behind-the-scenes backstory for Waspinator, basically being thrown into the show by Hasbro's request, and the series' crew decided to slag him in every way possible. Pretty amazing how that made this little bugger one of the most beloved characters in "Beast Wars." The "Animated" incarnation is also a very creative take on the character, and his monstrous design was especially awesome. Hearing more about 'his plans' is one of the many reasons I wish TFA got a fourth season. Oh, and for a special Waspinator line: *'Mmh, mmh, mmh. Two-head throw Megatron in lava pit. Megatron angry, think Two-head traitor. Want to SLAAAG Two-head. Waspinator down with that! Defense, take a rest.'*

"Wasspinator has a headache in his whole body" -Waspinator

"Huh, catbot cannot fly." "Waspinator having good day, not at shot once" "Where's Waspinator's troops?" "Oh noooooooo!" "Nooo, doggiebot not here~" Motion for doggiebot, I mean Birddog, I mean Rover, errr, Silverbolt as next Basics.

“Thrustinator” sounds like an adult toy.

"Ahhh, Wazzzpinator happy at last." - Last line of Beast Wars

Wazzpinator hazzz headache in hizzz whole body.

Waspinator can not catch a break, oh wait...he gets all the breaks.

Waspinator died more times than I have inside.

"Can I have Starscream?" Megatron(BW): "We have Starscream at home" Starscream at home:

Is surprising how rarely Waspinator shows up considering his popularity.

Technically speaking he can’t die so that makes him one of the strongest transformers in transformers

Scott McNeil is more responsible than anyone else for fostering my love of transformers growing up. Waspinator was pure gold.

Wasp was legitimately such a good character in tfa. I really wish he was in more shows

I have a feeling that after starscream posessed waspinator, waspinator had gotten some of starscream's indestructible spark into him so wasptinator's spark had become extremely difficult to kill him

The Thrust head swap is an homage to the ending of "The Fly" (the 1958 original). Blackarachnia literally sends Wasp through a Brundel telepod to transform him into Waspinator. Or, BrundelWasp, if you will. This is a direct reference to the BrundelFly/Space Bug at the end of David Cronenberg's 1986 remake of "The Fly".

Waspinator has an impressive ability! He can recover from damage that would normaly kill a Beast Wars era bot, and they are extremely resilient mind you! He is in my opinion one of the most powerfull Cons to ever exist, not in raw physical power but in resilience and determination!

Waspinator is the lovable looser we all enjoyed and never truly had in G1!( we've come very close!) Scott McNeil really WOWED BEASTWARS with all his fantastic voices!

Because time is wibbly-wobbly, I came up with a headcanon that getting possessed by Starscream gave Waspinator's spark the same immortality, which explains why he was turned into complete scrap far beyond anyone else and could be put back together.

I kind of wish when Waspinator was lamenting his lot in life at around 1:19, that he said "Waspinator miss Terrorsaur" as a nod to their old relationship, since I remember in Fallen Comrades, Terrorsaur blew up a giant boulder that was crushing Waspinator and then dragged him all the way back to the Predacon base. About the only guy who would do that for him.

One of my favorite characters. I love now even know thanks to knowing one of his incarnations is basically an ambassador of the fandom.

It's ironic that of all characters, Waspinator never encountered a certain cosmic starscream Yes I know he came out after but you wouldn't be surprised if he somehow got retconned to have been thrown back in time into the comic at that exact point in the marvel book series

Fun facts: There is a Beast Machines figure named Buzzsaw in the Beast Machines toyline and he looks like a reformatted Waspinator.

We need a Masterpiece toy of him, it's way overdue

He said in the beast machines episode where he was reintroduced that his trip back to cybertron "took forever" so the way I see it he actually flew back from earth after somehow escaping orbit . So he would have actually been in flight during the countless millions of years that involved the show, which would work out i believe considering how far away cybertron is.

Always glad to see Waspinator getting more love

I was actually feeling pretty sad but then I saw the notification for this video and I just went "hell yeah!". This video actually made me feel happy.

Something to add: In the first episode of Beast Wars, Waspinator was originally show at least for a few moments to be a competent Predacon warrior wich show that he was originally planed to retain his toy profile However this quickly change and Waspinator was left as a comedic relief villian because of (As it was mention in this video) his unique spech pattern that was time "on screen" consuming to reduce both the amount of times hid dialogues show up and the time needed to record them

Animated Waspinator seems like the coolest one.

Waspinator: everyone except fan hates waspinator

I always assumed that Waspinator literally FLEW all the way back to Cybertron and that it took him millions of years until he finally reached it.

3:30 I always figured from the show that after leaving Earth, Washy flew the slow way to Cybertron.

Yay, Wasp finally got his chance to NOT get blown up or destroyed! Probably won’t last long though!

Beast wars Waspinator was basically just the South Park Kenny of transformers

Thank you soo much for your videos and all the hard work that goes into them!

I can't confirm it, but I remember hearing once that the reason Waspinator can survive being blown up so often is because his Spark is located in his skull where his (Transformers equivalent of) brain should be. So as long as his head remains intact, as it always was, he can pull himself back together.

*Waspinator blows up Megatron: OH MY GOD! THEY KILLED WASPINATOR! Scorponok: YOU B*STARDS! (South Park joke)

Ah the universal punching bag.

“Thrustinator” The innuendo is strong with this one.

Great episode! I am a big "Generations" collector, and "Waspinator is definitely one of my favorite "Beastwars" characters. I have a very strong feeling we will be seeing him again, once the toy line reaches Earthrise... Just a hunch.

Animated Wasp/Waspinator was such a treat. That series really did some neat and unexpected things.

Happy holidays and thanks for all the great episodes this year!

Yeah Silverbolt would be a great one to cover with both his classic and beast era incarnations, among others. Also, while his generations figure is awesome, Waspinator should still be next in line for a Masterpiece figure.

So Transformers Legends Waspinator is basically Chris McFeely.

Not so basic fact: waspinator has the highest onscreen accuracy out of all the Beast Wars cast

My favorite version was Transformers Animated but Beast Wars was my second choice and Merry Christmas. Because I'll be playing Jedi Fallen Order and getting the digital upgrade code so I can FULLY enjoy the game for Christmas thanks to my wife getting it for $40 from Ebay.

The more the universe hates him the more the fans will love him.

IDW said it best in one of their little intro snippets for Waspinator. "Waspinator, the Universe's Chew Toy". the exact issue that's from escapes me, was one of the Optimus focused ones early into the Necro-Titan story arc.

Such a great show beast wars. Watched it every morning before school

Waspinator approves this video hehehehe Waspinator feels like universe loves him again!

Waspinator was funny as hell. I loved watching what happened to him every episode of Beast Wars. I also love when he assists Megatron in reviving Dinobot, turning into Megatron's Igor of sorts.

I never knew a lot of this. I thought he was chosen to be the unlucky lackey when the stories were being written, and his voice was supposed to remind you of that fly you are always trying to swat to make you further glad he got swatted (or blown up). I can't believe I never made the connection of that figure of Starscream and Waspinator with the events of the show. Very interesting, my only regret is that I have to wait until next year for your next video. An eternity of anticipation.

One thing you forgot to cover with his Beast Wars entry was that he was one of the first to know the planet they were on was, in fact, prehistoric earth after the fake moon blew up. Other than that, Waspinator has always been one of my favorite characters in all of Transformers.

*_"Waspinator has headache... in whole body.."_*

I love the idea that Waspinator left Earth by just flying in one direction until he found cybertron

I am more than convinced that voicing Waspinator is what broke Scott McNeil. If you have seen interviews or panels with Scott, he is a trip.

Keep up the good work man! Cant wait for 2020’s Transformers Basics! Love your channel

Basics on sliverbolt please

Thanks 👍😎😊

I actually was going to ask for a Basics on Waspinator... I love the guy! We love you Waspinator 💚💜🐝

"Why does Beast Machines hate Waspinator?"

Thank you for these great videos Chris.

Great finale !!!! Thank you so much for all these great videos !! Have a Merry Christmas and Happy new year. cheers to everyone !!

I think I know how Waspinator returned to cybertron. When he was flung into space from prehistoric earth, it might’ve taken many years for him to finally get to cybertron.

Finally! I have been waiting for this video for several years and it's here!

Waspinator became a chick magnet once he became a cool Biker-Bot

I'd love to see some episodes of beast wars where waspinator is fourth wall aware, like deadpool, and also aware of the fan love he gets and gets a big head. He'd welcome all of the times he gets dismantled knowing that he's adored that much more. All the other transformers would think him that much more insane

It's amusing, his constant destruction with the writers refusing to let it kill him off may have inadvertently implied that he *also* has an immortal spark similar to Starscream as events that would have killed other bots left him more or less inconvenienced for a while and no one has been able to permanently kill him off.

Just gonna say it, "Thrustinator" sounds like a porn title

One of my absolute favourite BW characters. Wouldn't mind seeing him in upcoming toylines

1:52 What I love this figure for is that unlike most of the transmetals it is an actual triple changer with a proper vehicle mode instead of mere retractable turbines or wheels. And I am disappointed we didn't see this Waspinator's form in action in the animated series.

Waspinator: Wazzpinator sick of being blown to scrap all the time!! Why universe hate Wazzpinator? Dinobot: Because you’re a insufferable INSECT!!! Rattrap: You’re only purpose is COMIC RELIEF bug brain! Silverbolt: And you are after all, an evil Predacon.

Fun fact: Waspinator manage to best Silverbolt twice in Beast Wars

I LOVE WASPINATOR!!!

At 8:39 through the video, in the top right, is Waspinator from a mobile game called Forged to Fight that sadly got cancelled on Jan. 13. I used to play that game a lot. It had been running for a few years. RIP ftf.

I like to think that Waspinator flew through space all the way to Cybertron under his own power, and he got back just before the Rest of the Maximals did several million years later. As in they got back instantly because of time travel, and he got back by traveling though time like the rest of us.

Why universe hate Waspinator
