Many not know Beast Wars, some even call it an abomination for me personally, Beast Wars had on of the best storyline of all the Transformers series, albeit with some shady computer-animation (but understandable considering the time it was aired)

In Package
First of all, I would like to thank a dear friend for lending me this figure as I have to skip Waspinator and the upcoming Rhinox just like I skipped Universe Cheetor and Dinobot
Just like previous Generations IDW, Waspinator comes with a comic book. And the Decepticons symbol is replaced by the Predacon symbol

That's right! Clash of the Titan, Metroplex VS Monstructor
Alt Mode
Wazzzzzzzpinatezzzzz! In hand, I'm rather surprised on how accurate he looks. Transformation wise, he's a lot of fun, not too complex and intuitive.
Waspinator has a really nice detailing, not to mention superb paint app. The alt mode stays togather nicely without any loose parts
One thing though, I found that the stinger (converted from his gun) doesn't sit flush in his abdomen
Waspinator's legs are strong enough to support his weight which is a plus considering most figure with this design, the legs are unable to withstand its own body weight
Waspinator has a gimmick where the wings flap where you pull the tab
Scene from 'Honey, I shrunk the kid' |
Robot Mode
Waspinator in his glory! He is by far the best figure of his wave
Though he needed more paint app, Waspinator's head is really accurate to his design back in Beast Wars. This may be fixed with Takara release later
Back View |
Waspinator's articulations can be considered on par with most of the newer Generations figures. He has ball-jointed head, ball jointed shoulders, hinges on his elbows and wrists swivel, double-jointed thigh, hinges on his knees and his feet. Waspinator however lacks wrist swivel and ankle tilts
Feels like 97 again |
Prime : Should I call pest control...? |
What's my take on Waspinator? He's great! It's kind of sad considering I have to skip him...
I don't like BW but I think Waspinator is very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Him and Rhinox are the reason that my wife decided to collect them
