He did not appear in the cartoons but in the IDW Beast wars comic. As far as I can tell he did not do much but attacked some Maximals and looked menacing. He attacked his look a like Raatoraata from the Beast wars series. Who was one of the harvengers of Unicron. Raatoraata was eventually brought down.
he also has another name as in the old Beast wars commercial he was called Angle sting. I think it is a better name than Injector.

MOTTO ?
TECH SPEC;
He's got a face only a Predacon could love, but according to Injector, the vainest of the Predacons, he is the best thing to happen since Energon. Fused into two beasts -half lion fish, half hornet he is as dangerous as it gets. He is armed with a massive stinger and thrusting spines that inject his victims with a paralyzing poison; in robot mode he wields a devastating stinger missile. Charismatic, clever, and evil to the core, Injector represents one of the Maximals greatest threats.

Robot Mode
There are people who hate this figure but I like it. I do admit thought that the beast mode is pretty laughable, a hornet combined with lion fish. They would of course never meet in nature but they have been smashed together.
Unfortunately his robot legs have no where to go so they are folded along the back but I work them into other bug legs. A fish tail would have been better.
He has two gimmicks one is a firing spring launched sting missile in his hornet tail but the sting they have rounded off so it will not sting anything.
He has an attack gimmick where you push the side parts of the fish in and his entire head swings forward and his spines fan out.
He can actually head bang and people to take the mick out of this.
he looks like he has a Mahican with his spines.
It can make him look nearly headless.
He can impale maximals on the end of his spines which are poisonous so it is useful.
His wings are posable. You can push them back so it looks like he is perched on something.
There is a little kibble in beast mode but it looks monstrous.
there is alot of detail on head and moulded scales.
His head is translucent plastic with green eyes
He has a fairly easy transformation.
His robot mode is quite good and menacing. A nasty looking face and quite ugly. It is a predacon so it is not meant to be pretty.
He has nice details on wings.
His missile launcher can be held in his hand but it looks like two thirds of an abdomen.
This toy really does head bang especially in this mode!
He is horrifically top heavy because of the over sized fish head and he does fall over a lot so I put him into a certain pose where he is perfectly balanced. If not he will just fall over in the normal one.
People have said that he looks like "Alien "which I do agree with but not a bad thing.
His articulation is pretty good.
Apart from the flaws I do recommend him. He is an interesting looking figure.
I think you will like him.
