Day 211: Injector

As much as my own design preference favors the blocky look of Generation One toys, there are some designs from Beast Wars that are just so bonkers that they're a delight to draw. Case in point: Injector. A Predacon Fuzor, he is an ungodly chimera of lionfish and hornet. His robot mode involves wearing a lionfish as a head, with his robot face extruding from the lionfish's mouth. Just wild. Injector had a late name change such that the TV commercial for his toy called him by an earlier name, Aquasting. He was available in 1998.
