The good chaps at TFW2005 have found something else on the Animated Season 2 DVD. The animation model for Waspinator and his bio, which contains spoilers regarding how he got his organic mode.

His wings seem to be swept down in robot mode, which seems to differ from the pics of the toy we've seen. But perhaps they can be positioned in different configurations....

***SPOILERS***

-TFW2005- Mirarage has purchased the new Transformers Animated Season 2 DVD pack, and taken a look at the animation galleries.

Surprise, surprise, he found a golden ticket here. Within the gallery was a picture of not only Animated Waspinator's bio, but also a picture of his Animation model.

Warning, Waspinator's biography contains spoilers for at least one future plot point in Transformers Animated.

You can read his bio and view the original thread here, and a mirrored image of Waspinator's Animated character below.

I can imagine it now:

"Wasp?!"

"Him not here. Only Wazzzpinator!"

Epic win.

I serious hope they get Scott McNeil to play this form of him. Keep Tom Kenny as the voice of his normal form seen in the middle of Autoboot Camp, and his insane form at the end of Autoboot Camp. But get Scott McNeil for this mutated form.

QFMFT. That would be great.

It would be nice, but I doubt they're going to hire a second actor to voice someone (Especially when both voices are so similar), especially since I doubt Waspinator will revert to his normal form.

Well, it's a prison. It's where they stick criminals, and often these criminals will cause one another physical harm, though guards causing harm to the criminals is not unheard of. Combine this with Wasp (correct) assertion that he's done nothing wrong, and that no one is listening to him, and he probably snapped under the extreme stress of it all.

EDIT: Actually, watch that episode of Futurama "Insane in the Mainframe" and you'll get exactly what I mean.

God thats ugly. Think i killed some thing like that in one of the Resident Evils. Nothing will ever beat his Beast Wars forms. Just glade the toy looks better than that.

Yep, you did in RE4 and Duke Nukem Manhattan Project. :-B

Oh that is sheer awesomeness. I love the hideous, disfigured buggy features. I can't wait to see how he gets that way. Here's hoping he's technorganic like BA.

I saw that coming, Blackarachnia played Miss Mad Scientist on Wasp featured in the episode "Autoboot Camp" and now he's Decepticon Waspinator, everyone saw that coming, right?

...I'm pretty sure that's exactly what they were going for, giant hideous insect.

Remember, this guy is nuts. You ever see that movie The Fly, where Jeff Goldblum makes himself half man, half fly? Same basic idea, (Except without teleporters, with robots, and intentional) except that Wasp went nuts BEFORE the experiments. (It wouldn't shock me if he had it done willingly, despite organics being viewed with disgust by most TFs)

Oh, of course. I mean, he was already swearing revenge in Autoboot Camp, so it's really not a surprise.

Cool. Can you position the wings like the animation model, or do they only go up/back?

by **IAmThePeej** » Fri Jan 09, 2009 6:00 am

Damn, I was beaten.. I don't know how to post screen captures or I would have had this up on the 6th.. Oh well, its a great find and all, can't wait for season 3 to start and hoping to see some sharkticons as a part of the predacon team.

(For those of you that don't know, male wasps don't have stingers(correct me if I'm wrong).)

It would be rather dull basing him off a male Wasp, he'd spend all his time at the base fed by other Cons then he would go out in September to impregnate Megatron's second in command and die.
