I love this guy, he's one of my favorite Fuzors because his characterization as a primadonna is hilarious. At least this one is self aware with how hideous it is and it's done on purpose.
@@ДобрыйЛосось It's not a joke It's becase this toy is part fish part wasp. Fish live in water and aqua is the spanish word for water and waps sting. Hence aquasting.
Ironically, Injector/Aqua Sting considers himself one of the HANDSOMEST transformers of all time! (As for being kind of awesome? Well, he probably thinks he VERY awesome! Not just KIND OF awesome! Yeah, he's just that vain!)
Got to be honest, I remember seeing this toy in a commercial back in the day and thinking it was awesome. Repulsively ugly sure, but awesome. To this day I still regret not getting my hands on one. Some day perhaps. Some day...
Injector never made his debut on Beast Wars series back in 1997, because it would be interesting to have more Fuzor transformers beside Quickstrike and Silverbot
I totally agree; he would've been awesome in the cartoon---especially if Air Hammer or Torca also appeared in the cartoon to give us another aquatic maximal to fight against!
I like the beast mode for this figure - and the paint is awesome - you can pick this figure up for $23 MIB. I like his robot mode is kind of hulking and odd. The fun thing is I just started a lionfish tank LOL
What's up with the back legs in beast mode, they are supposed to work like his last 2 pairs of legs. Also, you are supposed to pull back on the ribbing under his head to un-clip the head for it to spring forward. If you've read the IDW Beast Wars books, Injector has a sort of hook arm, which the toy can actually pull off. Turn the arm around and the upper torso, plug the singer gun into hand and bend it forward. It gives him the hook hand, and an actual elbow in the arm holding the gun.
@baltmatrix Hmm, I've always used the legs as his last 2 set of legs. Those direction were pretty ugly and hard to read. The hook hand is more of an after thought. I read the IDW beast wars books and tried to see if I could emulate the sort of hook arm they gave him in the books. The figure can pull it off pretty well, and it looks better because he actually has an elbow.
at 1;01 there is an easier way to do that just slide the red part holding the head that way you don't accidentally break the peg. just trying to be helpful from one toy collector to another.
@princepalkia44 I remember when I first saw that there was a version named Ratorata, I got happy, but thought nobodeh would notice...Then while on tformers.wikia.com, I saw the caption was "LION! TORA! CHEETAH!" with links to Lio Convoy, the tiger version of Cheetor(Tigertron or something?), and then Cheetor. My eyes lit up. =P
I still really like him. Not sure why. I bought him at Target with part of the $15 I found in a pair of thrift store jeans my mom bought me.XD My only complaint really is that he needed a third handle in the middle of the gun to hold it by in robot mode.
Between him and that Hugging Caterpillar guy (I forgot his name), I kinda wonder who gets the title as the Worst Beast Wars figure but somehow happened to be owned by a lot of TF collectors...
I have 5 questions. Who, what, when, why and how. Who decided this was a good idea? What were the designers on? Why is this a thing? How did Hasbro think this was this would sell?

He was originally called Aquasting.
Steven Dolce that is such a better name

This thing is ugly as hell, but also kind of awesome in a horrifying way.

This guy was one of my favorite beast wars to play with as a kid and i dont even know why :P

@@longWriter But he did make an appearance in the _Beast Wars Neo_ anime as Latolata.
Will be getting him for my Birthday along with Beast Machines Night Viper.
I remember once seeing this figure at friend's house years ago. He had a lot of Transformers from the Beast Wars lineup.
Best Beast Wars figure hands down. The best!
1:41 Is that art by Fishbug on Tumblr? It looks like their design for a TFA Injector.
I would like to know how was the creative process for the Fuzors. Must have a lot of pot involved.
I think they purposefully made him ugly.

The more the reason why I wanted to see him in beast wars. He looks so awesome ugly.
The Only Beast wars toy I still have. Love him because he can swim, walk, and fly. He's a SEAL!
quite dig this figure. i get a very invader Zim aesthetic from the robot mode head
it's hideous and i LOVE IT

The day Piranhas will be able to fly is the day we'll need to move to another planet
He was also called aqua sting.
i got this guy weeks ago and i enjoy it
I remember having this guy when I was younger. Such a horrifying combo of animals..
This toy did not sell very well in my city back in the day. I remember their being about 30 of them, while every beast war figure sold quickly.
Man, these fuzorz get odder and odder
@onixprime Correction, turn the arm around at the upper bicep, not torso.
He was one of my faves

It be a better figure if the fish head was removed and given an actual hornet head. it won't be a fusor no more, but it look like a better hornet bot.
When JTMitchell 87 reviewed this guy, he said that he was still on the shelves even into 2003. And it's easy to see why.

I had this as a kid. Thought it looked cool, especially loved the colors. I remember it said on the box "...with a face not even a mother could love"

cool fuzor, but I think Skyshadow is the best
CommanderShockwave as much as I like injector and quickstrike, sky shadow is objectively the best.
Hi, just letting you know I got this video recommended to me *10 years* after it was released. That algorithm be wacky.
@baltmatrix you won't freakin believe this, but a character that uses injector's mold is named "Ratorata"
ya get it?
Yep. His original name is ratolata, but IDW publishing name him as ratorata
it looks like the face is getting barfed out of the fish head
My Primus this is beautiful, I must get him.
Fish heads, fish heads, rolly-polley fish heads....
He has a face only a mother could love
It's me, I'm mother
Uni-fish-bug a go go!
Instead of pulling the head push the fin/bill piece that connects to it just a heads up
This was the toy I always saw at the store and never bought!
Best Fuzor right there.
Oh are you pointing to my silverbolt? Yes I agree
he also goes by aquasting
He was originalnya called as aqua sting in fuzors commecials, but they changed his name into injector for the unknown reasons
Also you can backflip his hand gun to be more like bee's sting
i got him loose from a goodwill. he was missing two of his toes and his gun
the robot toes i mean
You say that the Japanese release was repainted, while it pretty much had no change.
I don’t know about you, but I think this thing is fire!
I'll just go ahead and quote TJOmega: Fish on top of a bee.
this is what you will get when you cross jar jar Binks with waspinator!
will it drown on dry land?
Pretty sure this guy was not happy when he came out of his stasis pod
Ratorata? Eiji, what are you doing here? Lol
I still really like him. Not sure why. I bought him at Target with part of the $15 I found in a pair of thrift store jeans my mom bought me.XD
My only complaint really is that he needed a third handle in the middle of the gun to hold it by in robot mode.
@princepalkia44 I assume your reading this comment because "I allready knew his name" But his name (ratorata) is a OOO's combonation. LOLZ
Do you have Fuzors Silverbolt? I'd like your review on that. :)
What in sam hell is that robot mode though
What's that little tag called behind the head??
I think it was a remold of the inferno toy but with a new head
I like this bizarre thing
1:09-1:17 Balt being a zoologist
That would be cool if it was a piranha transformer
This is actually my second favorite Fuzor (With torca being the best)
A figure so bad, it's good. :D
Actually I think he’s supposed to be a wasp and a stone fish. I personally think he’s a really cool fuigure
Injector Cool I Love You Design
what are those? wings? fins? fings?
wins
talk about a face that only a mother could love :|
That's a fucking scary creature.
Between him and that Hugging Caterpillar guy (I forgot his name), I kinda wonder who gets the title as the Worst Beast Wars figure but somehow happened to be owned by a lot of TF collectors...
You might be thinking of Retrax.
@@mechanwhal6590 Yep, that's him.
Beast Mode = LOVE
I have 5 questions. Who, what, when, why and how. Who decided this was a good idea? What were the designers on? Why is this a thing? How did Hasbro think this was this would sell?
he was a shelf warmer back in the day. But he looks good in a ugly kind of way.
We see it in the cyberverse cartoon in journey of repugnus episode
I wish I could have it
I had both BW2 and hasbo injector and there was no difference in Color spada
if u ask me....hes better off being named AquaSting
wen i saw this on plastic addict, i had no idea that there was purple on it.
Isn't his name supposed to be "Aquasting"?
He ain't got no alibi.
I love the butt missle
i always wanted him
XD
and still want it
even with all the bad reviews
What a ghastly thing.... You wonder what was going through the minds of the guys at Hasbro.... Oh wait, money!
I thought his name was Aquasting
injector is a fish but he is also hornet he is a fornet
Who? Who would ever think a toy like this would be good!? It looks like a monster from a horrible Sci-Fi movie
injector and the dude from beast wars neo is the same
1:11
You mean venomous
NIGHTMSTR FUEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Injector is voiced by Tommy Lee Jones.
There was a reason I never got this one
I like Injector. He's weird and ugly and has character in all the right ways. But he's definitely not everyone's cup of tea.
he is kind of cute in some way lol
Wrong picture!
Does anybody else think he looks a little bit like Dr. Piranhoid, the villain from the 90's show Street Sharks?
I HAD THIS TOY STILL DO LOL !!!!!
WHen a person uses the word disturbing for anything, it's a bad sign. No wonder I always see him so cheap.
I also had this thing............
