Perhaps some sign of intelligence, or is that too much to ask.
There is more to Waspinator than you understand, Cyclonus. To begin with, he cannot help his problem remembering names... and it is not entirely a database glitch. The information is stored, but he can't access it... or large portions of his own memory. He talks the way he does in order to prevent forgetting his own name. It's asking far too much to expect that he remember yours.
As for him choosing another nickname for you... he can't really remember those either. That is why most of them are based on beastmodes. For example, he refers to me as 'Crab-bot'. He only has to look at me or remember what I look like in order to recall such a nickname. Even if he were to come up with something else to call you, he would forget it. And your helmet is an easily noticible aspect of your design.
And he has these glitches because of things that were done to him by the Maximal Council, long before the events of the 'Beast Wars'. For you to blame him for the Council's actions... I don't have words to adequately express my disgust at such a thing.
Also, he might be considered 'reusable cannon fodder' by many... but keep this in mind. In the universe Waspinator is from, he is the LAST Predacon survivor of a version of the Beast Wars that resulted in even my death, as impossible as that seems to me.
Is it honorable to call the last warrior left standing 'cannon fodder', even if they were on the losing side?
Lastly... Waspinator is a bit more than a friend. He contracted a certain family problem due to having once been possessed by my Father. As far as I'm concerned, this makes him a part of my family, albeit in a rather adoptive and complicated way.
Never call him vermin again Cyclonus... I will only give you one warning there...
