What was left of Wasp hid beneath the bridge as Sentinel left, buzzing and twittering to himself, still swearing revenge on "Bumblebot". Many years later, Wasp escaped from Autobot custody and apparently eluded the now-Sentinel Prime by jumping through a space bridge. Wasp was stripped of his Autobot insignia and wheeled away, protesting his innocence and swearing revenge on Bumblebee. With the aid of Longarm, Bumblebee eventually found evidence incriminating Wasp as a spy.
Unbeknownst to Wasp, however, the reason for Bumblebee's foul-ups was that he was trying to out a traitor in the group-and had pegged Wasp as the likely culprit after seeing him walk out of a hangar in which someone had contacted Megatron and the fact that Wasp is clearly like a Decepticon due to his attitude. Wasp and Ironhide quickly became close friends, often competing in little tests of strength, usually involving Wasp hitting or stinging Ironhide while the latter was in armor mode.Īfter Bumblebee "bumbled" several times, leading to many problems for the whole group, Wasp and Ironhide decided to take matters into their own hands, unscrewing Bumblebee's lower legs and leaving them out of reach even before they dumped the rest of him in a locker.
The loud-mouthed drill sergeant Sentinel Minor took an immediate liking to "Wasp", as he dubbed him. He also dubbed Bulkhead a " mudflap", much to the amusement of his fellow cadets. Right away, Wasp took an instant disliking to Bumblebee, insulting him out of the blue as the yellow bot mused to himself about his future in the Elite Guard. Wasp was a cadet in the same group as Bumblebee, Bulkhead, Ironhide, and Longarm. Japanese: Kenji Nojima (Wasp), Kensō Katō (Waspinator).
