• Affiliation: Predacon

• Line: Beast Wars Deluxe

• Year Released: 1996

• Weapons: Missile Launcher & 2 Missiles

As one of the characters on the show, the Predacon Waspinator is one of the more popular and difficult to acquire Beast Wars Figures.  As if his show popularity were not enough, Hasbro released him with a lot of parts that can be easily lost.



First, there are his two missiles.  They fit snugly in the wings when placed there properly, but can be difficult to align.  The slightest bit incorrect and the missiles fall off and are gone forever.  The wings come off pretty easily too.  His missile launcher, located at the back of the abdomen, can be lost but usually isn't as it fits relatively snugly.

Waspinator has two heads (Beast and Robot) on a spindle under his chest flap.  These are not easily removed, but can be with some effort.  The grey chest plate is much more commonly lost.

The rest of his limbs are snap-tight joints that can be removed, but generally are not too difficult to replace if they are missing.

Waspinator's yellow paint is pretty durable but can get scuffed with enough effort/play.

Here are his tech spcs and instructions:


All in all Waspinator is a great figure with an accurate and relatively easy transformation.  On a 1-10 scale, I give him:

Show Accuracy: 8
Difficulty of Transformation: 3
Difficulty to Acquire 100% Complete: 7
Design/Paint Flaws: 2

I hope this guide helps! In the coming days I will be posting individual reviews of each Beast Wars and Beast Machines toy with detailed descriptions of small parts.
