I wonder if the white/pink one is an homage to BotCon Arcee

OMG, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, let this mean we're getting a Waspinator Corps!

In all seriousness, looks like SG Waspinator, Canceled Halloween Waspinator, Beast Wars Bugbite and either Inferno or Beast Wars Starscream.

BEAST WARS STARSCREAM?? Oh please let that be what he is!

News Credits: 241 · by **Jelze Bunnycat** » Wed May 20, 2015 10:26 am

You know, I just had a thought: since Thrustinator has a central role as "messenger boy" so to speak, would it make sense for him to have his own Troopers, like back in his Vehicon days? Sky-Byte had the Sharkticons, Scourge had the Sweeps, what could those Hymenoptera be called? Siclonoids?

Could the yellow one be Buzzsaw?

Probably not.

News Credits: 241 · by **Jelze Bunnycat** » Wed May 20, 2015 10:46 am

Ok guys, to recap:

Left: based on Fox Kids Transmetal Waspinator.

Wazzpinator be good guy for once?

2nd from left: based on canceled Universe 2003 Halloween Horrorcon

Wazzpinator can't say boo to kidzz, Wazzpinator getzz no candy!

2nd from the right: deco origin unknown, but I've personally nicknamed it "Mangle".

Right: Seemingly based on Diaclone Warudaros, aka Convertors Sicolonoid, aka Kronoform Wargon

An ant, mosquito and scorpion form this?

Though he could be repurposed as Transmetal Buzzsaw despite the name on the toy

Speaking of repurposing, that yellow Waspinator? Shattered Glass Beast Wars Waspinator

The Fox kids repaint of TM waspy could proxy as a TM Buzzsaw. Buzzsaw was just a yellow an purple repaint of the original waspinator. However the fox kids TM color scheme and mapping was used on the club's SG Beast Wars Waspinator. So effectively it's one big cyclical system of waspinator, repaints and repurposing there of.

This kinda makes me think this is going to be like that one year set of Buzzclaw redeco clones for some reason.

Actually "him" is a gender neutral pronoun, it's meaning has been misconstrued over who knows how long. It's similar to "moot" even though people think it means finality, it actually means debatable.

*giggles* It's best to consider me gender-neutral, so both "his" and "hers" are fine, whatever you feel like. Less headaches that way. ;;)

Back to the Waspies, here's an image of the Shatted Glass BW Predacons, with a yellow Waspinator:

See why I'm saying that yellow Waspinator toy can be repurposed?

MartianSpyGirl1996 had mentioned that, though.

TFW posted this possible black Generations Arcee repaint... thoughts?

It looks a LOT like her Combiner Hunters deco:

Though, if that is what this is meant to be, then it can't be a BotCon figure since BotCon doesn't do toys for things to come in future non-BotCon/non-TCC fiction.

Website · by **MartianSpyGirl1996** » Tue May 26, 2015 9:45 am

I knew it looked familiar.

That may not be completely accurate, as people are guessing the Club will do a Nexus Prime from a CW combiner in the future, but due to Hasbro's rules it would have to be used in mass fiction (so IDW).
That's pure speculation, however.

As for Arcee, probably not a BotCon figure, but I can't see this getting a retail release either... maybe she'll come in a 3-pack with the other two fembots repainted for SDCC?

Or a store/online exclusive like a Platinum Edition.

True true. Either way, GIMME TEN

Here is a mysterious bit of news. TF Prototype fansite has posted two pictures of a black redeco of Generations Arcee with :"Botcon sneak peaks! Do not miss! Botcon preview images are unofficial." as their only description of the product.

The pictures are below and you can instantly notice that the deco is reminiscent of the recent Combiner Hunters deco, also found below. We will keep you updated if we hear of any new development.
