Paralyzer is aWaruder mech from theDiaclonecontinuity family.

Well, I'm not paralyzed
But, I seem to be struck by you
I wanna make you move
Because you're standing still

The multitude ofWaruder marauder drones can be summed into four types, one of them beingParalyzer, which is assigned to theBuzzer pilots. While each type has its own specialty, they all have the same goal: Swarm, consume, and bring consumed metals back to the Waruder apiary. The marauder drones are merelytechnorganic shells that serve as the host for their smaller pilots and lack intelligence of their own. But one still should not be caught unawares, as the venom from their stingers affects the organic and the technological alike, numbing nervous systems and causing paralysis.

The drones can wield their pilots in their weapon modes, but this risks disconnecting pilot from shell.

Fiction

TransTech

Due to quantum instability, a number of Waruder troops were transported toAxiom Nexus's distant past when they migrated over to its universe. They formed a hive, and spent the next 20,000 years undisturbed, evolving and building an elaborate hive deep underground. Paralyzer exo-suits were grown to help the hive expand and feed, as well as defend itself against intruders. WhenC-81 and his band of wanted criminals stumbled across the Waruder hive while on the run from the law, several Paralyzer mechs responded to another Waruder's distress signal and engaged the trespassers. Outnumbering the band of Cybertron's most wanted, they forced the outlaws to flee. Even as more intruders came about, the Waruders were on the verge of victory when C-81 managed to grab hold of their leader, and forced him to negotiate. Several Paralyzer mechs later migrated to another universe via an interuniversal gate, one where the Waruders would be able to feed on Cybertonium in peace.Cybertron's Most Wanted

Timelines Paralyzer is a white, black, pink, purple, and red redeco of theGenerations: Thrilling 30 Deluxe ClassWaspinator sculpt in colors homagingBotCon 2007Bug Bite. It retains the original toy's wing-beatinggimmick.

Paralyzer was available in a four-pack atBotCon 2015 that included the three other Waruder mechs (Storm Rider,Parasite, andMudfighter) as well as the four Waruder troops (Buzzer,Ripper,Thrasher, andCrusher). Paralyzer can wield any of the four Waruder troops in their weapon modes, but is nominally associated with the Buzzer toy.

Fittingly, this toy wasrepurposed asBug Bite II.
