Always put upon and frequently at the receiving end of a brain-rattling wallop, Waspinator has been described as the universe's chew toy. His endless string of bad luck turned him into a comic relief character in the animated series, and endeared him to fans and writers of the show. He's the Predacon's aerial attack specialist, one that delivers decidedly mixed results. His toy is a reuse of the same body mold used to make Buzz Saw. The early Beast Wars toys of 1996 featured two heads - a regular robot head and a "mutant" head that encased it like a helmet or mask. This functionality did not appear in the animated series. The animated design for Waspinator used the mutant look, though underneath he has a regular looking head like the one I drew for Buzz Saw.
The combined form of the Universe Micromaster Aerialbots is Superion, an amalgamation of six robots plus their pack-in accessories that serve as connectors, head, and extremities of the gestalt warrior. While in Japan, the original source of the design ( Sixwing , 1992) was available in a collected set, this combiner needed to be purchased one bot at a time in the 2007 Universe release.
