Waspinator is the name of four fictional characters from the Transformers franchise. He is sometimes called Wasp. The original Waspinator was voiced by Scott McNeil in the ''Beast Wars'' animated series. ==Beast Wars== Waspinator, later called Thrust, is best remembered for being the universe's whipping boy: getting destroyed or demolished in almost every episode of ''Beast Wars'', yet returning in almost perfect condition in the very next episode. He is also dim-witted, talks in a broken third-person speech pattern, often referring to other characters, except Megatron, Optimus Primal, and himself, (however when Megatron became a dragon, Waspinator referred to him as "Dragon-Bot") by names that reflected their transformation modes instead of their true names (example: referring to Silverbolt as "Doggy-Bot") and spent most of the series as an underdog, causing him to take constant abuse from Maximal and Predacon alike (thus summing up Waspinator's most well-known line ''"Why universe hate Waspinator?!"'') making him one of the more fan-favorite characters on the show. His beast mode is a wasp and his name is based on ''The Terminator''. Waspinator's toy was recolored as the Predacon Buzz Saw, a character who only appeared in the comic series. Waspinator came with two different heads, a robotic and mutant head, but the television series only ever depicted him with the mutant head. Buzz Saw was depicted in the comics with the robot head. Although a transmetal version of Waspinator was made in the toy line, Waspinator remained in his original form in the television series from first episode to last (the only one of the original five Predacons to do so). There was also a "Fox Kids" repaint of his original form, which was in new colors, and one of his transmetal form which had the colors of Buzz Saw. In 2005 the original Waspinator toy was one of the toys selected for the ''Beast Wars 10th Anniversary'' toyline, repainted in more show-accurate colors. He came packaged with one of the six pieces used to make the Transmutate toy and a DVD with the episode ''Possession'' on it. As the Vehicon General Thrust he was in charge of the Cycle Drones and was one of the few who remained an ally to Megatron until the very end. Scott Mcneil attended Botcon 2006 at the Lexington Convention Center for the 10th anniversary of the TV series.〔(TRANSFORMERS Fans Gather in Kentucky to Celebrate Their Love of 'MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE' Toys.
