[Retconning again... in this case it's tricky. Some of the wording shows already that Waspy was thinking of Forte as a 'best friend', so that needs discounted, tho the reactions would stay the same I think since he'd mention missing Terrorsaur. Maybe he should mention friends, plural, instead of just Forte as part of the tone-down as there are other people he's met thanks to the Nexus]

Is new day... Waspinator should work on nest today. Crab-bot sent some things in a box for Waspinator.

Waspinator wonder where Crab-bot found CDs of Earth music... was dangerous to be caught with those on Cybertron. Council would be very upset... Earth stuff was illegal. But then, Crab-bot never been to Cybertron, that Waspinator know of.

Waspinator not really feel like working on nest today... Too many memories last night. Makes Waspinator want to go back to sleep, forget for a while...

Waspinator dream of flying... Maybe Waspinator should go flying, but... is not the same alone. Alone better than flying with Ant-bot though. Ant-bot not know how to have fun when flying.

Dactyl-bot liked to play... when us not on missions, anyway. Waspinator was always faster, but Waspinator is not fast for long. If we play for a long time, Dactyl-bot eventually catch Waspinator. Sometimes Waspinator let Dactyl-bot catch Waspinator... Dactyl-bot liked to win, and Waspinator didn't care.

Maybe Waspinator should visit Friend-bot. Friend-bot likes to blow things up. Waspinator agrees. Is fun. Maybe Waspinator can find explosives in salvage. Or ask Crab-bot. And find plants to put in holes...

Friend-bot reminds Waspinator of Dactyl-bot sometimes. But Dactyl-bot is gone... Friend-bot and Dactyl-bot are alike sometimes, but different too.

No two people ever really alike. Waspinator wonder if Car-bot not understand that last night when Car-bot said Waspinator didn't have to be alone anymore. People can't be replaced... nobody could ever replace Dactyl-bot...

But is nice to have a friend again...

Waspinator got e-mail. Friend-bot is safe. Was just bad dream...

Waspinator is glad was just bad dream...

[Severe Retcon Note: Almost everything here should probably be considered scratched, as related entries have already been moved to the Scratchpile. However, the conversation with Steadfast branched off her interaction with the Crab earlier, so that's still part of Waspy's timeline... just say she happened by as he was listening to the report for whatever reason (perhaps it was an anniversary of something), and things went from there.]

Waspinator seems to be missing. He hasn't been in his cave for days, and the last I heard from him he was buzzing something about a party.

I fed his stupid pet iguana... and found a few e-mail contacts scribbled on notes.

If anyone has any idea what happened to the wasp, please do get in touch.

And, Cyclonus... if you had ANYTHING to do with this... my reaction will not be pleasant for you.

(Meanwhile, at Waspy's cave...)
((note: this is right after this))

(This one has a kind of soft retcon in effect, as Waspinator probably doesn't remember a bit of it by now, thus avoiding issues related to the harder retcon later)

Someone on Sages board (sages_of_chaos) said Waspinator have bad luck because Waspinator do bad things.

Is not true! Waspinator is a good Predacon. Waspinator not hurt anyone except Maximals...

Waspinator not remember Cybertron too well. Just pieces. But Waspinator remember enough. Waspinator was sick of things the Council did to Predacons. So was Dactyl-bot...

Only Dactyl-bot had jet mode then... Aerosoar... and Waspinator was helicoptor... Whisper...

Waspinator miss Dactyl-bot. Waspinator and Dactyl-bot friends for a long time. Waspinator not remember how long. Dactyl-bot was only Predacon on Earth who knew Waspinator before though...

Waspinator not want to think of before. Dactyl-bot said Waspinator was different before, but Maximals said Whisper was a bad Predacon, and they fixed him... Now Whisper is gone... and Dactyl-bot is gone. Now is just Waspinator... and Waspinator is forever, like Crab-bot and Ancient-bot...

Waspinator wish Dactyl-bot had been forever too...

Waspinator having great time! Waspinator found Nexus on LJ, where people can ask questions. Waspinator ask for help because Waspinator has bad luck.

Waspinator have list of things to get to help with luck. Also Waspinator have new friend-bot! Friend-bot's name is... is... *checks notes* Uh oh. Waspinator not write down new friend-bot's name. But Waspinator recognize him. New Friend-bot is little squishie-bot with yellow cobra-helmet and purple markings on face.

New Friend-bot explain to Waspinator what sex is. Sex is when DNA from two organics get mixed up and make third unique creatire from mixed up DNA. So sex is what happened to Fuzors.

Waspinator hope sex never happen to him...
