•History: Waspinator @ tfwiki
•Personality:

Waspinator is, for lack of a better term, the worlds whipping boy. He's a born follower (despite the occasional flights of fancy where he imagines otherwise), and canonically spends most of his time functioning as a go-fer or guard. There's a reason he's treated as dumb muscle and not given much responsibility, however. Waspinator isn't exactly the sharpest crayon in the box. Whenever given a major task, or even some minor ones, he manages to screw up and, more often than not, end up in several pieces.

He often talks big, but he's all bark and no bite. More like a gnat than a wasp, his enemies find him more of an annoyance than a real threat. While he might be a giant failure, you do have to credit him for his persistence. No matter how many times he fails he always ends up coming back for more, although he is prone to complaining (when his superiors can't hear him, of course). At the end of the day, Waspinator is not a particularly evil 'bot. Mean and stupid, sure, but it's more that he just happens to be an easily bullied individual who just happens to have fallen in with the bad guys. By the end of season three he's had quite enough of being bullied around, and was speaking of quitting the Predacons upon his 'death.' At that point in the series he was one of the few 'bots that had not received an upgrade, a fact he was rather bitter about, as well as the whole issue with having received no respect from anyone since the series began.

Waspinator's less-than-stellar mental capacity can be seen through his 'bad plan gene,' and his quite prominent speech pattern. He speaks almost exclusively in the third person, constantly narrates his thoughts and actions, and has the tendency to refer to other individuals as '____-Bot' or similar distinguishing nicknames. However, he's not pants-on-head retarded. He does have flashes of insight from time to time (such as realizing the planet the 'bots were stuck on was Earth), but they are rather infrequent.

•Powers/Abilities:

Well for one thing he's a giant robot! Except not. Waspinator's fairly average as far as the Cybertronian's of his time go (that is, significantly smaller than most other continuities/timelines). His alt-mode is a giant wasp, letting him fly in both bot and beast mode. He's armed primarily with a simple blaster. Oh, and he can survive shit that would kill off most other characters in the series (being shot, blown up, crushed, dismembered, etc...). He's rather prone to literally going to pieces (being probably the most destroyed/injuried Predacon to date), but he's rather good at surviving.

It's also worth noting that both Maximals and Predacons are quite capable of consuming organic matter due to the nature of their bodies (partly organic), which comes in handy when there's a distinct lack of stable energon.

•Inventory:

+1x blaster
-1x Predacon logo
-1x dignity

•Starting Polarity: Zero preference!

If AU, how does your character differ from canon?: (Non AU apps may ignore this question. CRAUs and OAUs should get in to specifics here regarding what changes there are from their character's original canon. We'll need at least a paragraph explaining details.)

Writing Samples
•First Person Sample:

[ Waspinator? Whining? Yeah, nothing new here. Except for the whole falling-through-timespace thing. Actually that's not all that new either. Slag. ]

Mnnnzz... Wazzzpinator try his hardest every day and then someone come in while Waspinator unconscious and draw on Waspinator's arm. What Wazzzpinator do to deserve thiz?

[ Unless this has something to do with the whole defecting from the Predacons thing, in which case he pleads temporary insanity. He ceases to pick at the glyph on his arm and instead turns his attention to the feed. Maybe Megatron will take him back if he pleads enough. ]

Hmmmnzzz...

If Waspinator say he sorry, can Waspinator go home?

[ #priorities ]

•Third Person Sample:

In all fairness, going offline wasn't particularly new or scary for Waspinator. He'd been blown up, ripped up, crushed, electrocuted, you name it, and as a result blacking out and waking up somewhere new was old hat by this point. The difference was, usually he was waking up inside a CR tank (or on the floor wherever his parts had been unceremoniously dumped). This? This was just a little bit weird.

Waspinator immediately assumed it had something to do with his defection, given that the last thing he could recall was telling Quickstrike and Inferno to kiss his aft. They'd likely shot him, dragged him back to Megatron for punishment, and then... Then this. Clearly the two had to be related somehow. Was this some kind of weird punishment? There had been a 'bot there when he'd woken up, but most of what it had said had gone straight over Waspinator's head. Something about a lamb? He hadn't really been paying close attention, although he'd heard the word 'Cybertron' in there somewhere.

Except this couldn't be Cybertron. Not in a million stellar cycles. Someone was clearly screwing with him. Probably the same person who had scribbled on his arm while he was unconscious. If it was Megatron, he'd throw himself at the mercy of his crazy dino-gone-dragon commander. If it wasn't... Well, he'd figure something out then. Maybe.

Thinking ahead and making plans weren't exactly his strong suits.

For now Waspinator simply flitted through the halls of the building he'd awoken in, buzzing and grumbling to himself under this breath as we went. He had to run into something, or someone, familiar eventually, right?



Right?
