Animated Waspinator Concept Design Notes and Images from Age Of The Primes

The Age Of The Prime marches on with another behind the scenes report from Mark Maher @markclonus for the Transformers Animated Universe Waspinator. The whacked out bug gets a make over with a cartoon style that is green with angry. Read on to see the report on the concept design behind Bugboy, followed by the official in-hand images.

Fugitive Waspinator finally gets to jump on into your Transformers Animated collection. You’ll catch me referring to this lil rascal as just Wasp, although I do rather enjoy the fugitive aspect and character rep this dude has.

During the beginning phase of rebranding the packaging for our new Generations segment, our pkg team utilized ol Wasp here as the character for all the big meetings. Everytime the illustrations were showcased in front of senior management I couldnt hold in my giggles and joyous elbow nudging to my compardres. Imagine, WASP, an obscure lil critter from a great series, who never even had a toy back then, is now the poster boy of a whole series! 🤣 Just a pleasant reminder of the golden era we are currently existing in.

I’ve dreamed of characters like this to come out in the proper light and to get a Yuya san design treatment for a TF toy its like traveling into the Matrix. You constantly have to pinch yourself to see if the reality your existing in is really real, or you just really need some more 😴! 😉

You know the stinger drill my peeps 🐥,the deets of these characters are what makes them come to life. So make sure you utilize the jam packed articulation this Micronus descendent has to offer. Colors came out better then expected, but I’m in love with the color green and then when you add a complimentary deep decepticon purple tint with it, 😋 just delicious 🤤!

I hope you all have a pleasant weekend, filled with posing, transforming, and of course, buying more Transformers! Let the toy hunts commence!

If we don't get a sticker set and some horns to turn this GS Trypticon into Gigastorm from Toyhax, it would be a bigger waste than Hasbro not just releasing this as Gigastorm with a sticker sheet and some horns so it could be either.

Seriously though, just make some translucent orange horns to replace the translucent orange nose cannon cover. Then have some purple stickers for the central ramp with the silver Predacon sigil, some teal stickers for the spots and some silver and gold highlights for the hips, tail and arms.

But really, how do you redeco/reissue Trypticon and NOT make it Gigastorm? Especially after the overwhelming positive reception for Magmatron. People want some more Japanese Beast Wars love. Gigastorm, Big Convoy, Galvatron, Stampy, Moon, Heinrad, Longrack, Mach Kick. More than just Lio Convoy exists. Skywarp was a fluke as they just didn't want to name it Silverbolt even if Skywarp is a name that's even more known and used than Silverbolt. We have multiple versions of Skywarp and others all the time, we can handle three different versions of Silverbolt a few years apart each.

I can't justify $90 for what looks like an oversized legacy scale figure.

I was excited to hear we are getting Horri-bull and maybe there's still hope for Sureshot, too.
