Airazor is a Decepticon Mini-Con from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.
He's even cuter than Chibiusa and Dengakuman put together.

Of the two Mini-Cons under Fracture's employ, Airazor is the more bulletheaded of the two, literally and figuratively. He's not really dumb, just a little slower on the uptake and a little more prone to silliness, which usually leaves his partner Divebomb to do most of the thinking when Fracture's not around. Once he's found a target, however, he quickly becomes a tiny terror, delighting in sneakery, skullduggery, and generally doing awful things to people.

Airazor and Divebomb accompanied Fracture to Earth with the aim of collecting the bounty on Bumblebee, but immediately ran into Drift. The pair tangled with Drift's Mini-Cons, with Airazor finding himself roped by Jetstorm. After Bumblebee's team joined the fight, the three Decepticons retreated to their ship where they spied on the Autobots using micro-drones. After abducting several of the Autobots and a human, Fracture went to try and capture Bumblebee and the two Mini-Cons again tangled with Jetstorm and Slipstream. They managed to capture Fixit and Russell Clay, however Drift's Mini-Cons took control of Fracture's ship, and the three Decepticons were forced to retreat. Hunting Season

After Fracture joined Steeljaw's team, Airazor and Divebomb took part in a battle against the Autobots, attacking Strongarm until she managed to get cuffs on them both. Fortunately for them, Steeljaw later freed everyone. Sideways Once the Decepticons took over the Autobot scrapyard, Airazor was deployed to operate the Alchemor control systems along with Divebomb. The pair fought the Autobot Mini-Cons when they were catapulted into the scrapyard, and later fled with Steeljaw once the base was lost to the Autobots. Lockout

Airazor masqueraded as Hank, allowing him and his companions to invade the scrapyard, only for them to be taken out by Optimus Prime when the Autobot returned from the Realm of the Primes.

Airazor's stasis pod was later taken back to Cybertron by Optimus Prime, Windblade and Ratchet. Decepticon Island (Part 2)

After Fracture had Airazor and Divebomb pry open a stasis pod, a Cyclone Mini-Con emerged from it. Fracture tried to force the unaligned Mini-Con swear allegiance to him, despite Airazor warning him that Cyclones had a tendency to leak fluids everywhere. Unexpectedly, a second Cyclone leapt out of the pod, and both of them knocked Fracture out. Airazor was shocked at this development, though Divebomb was quick to point out that their boss was merely... resting his optics. Though Airazor was unconvinced, a quick jab from Fracture had him shut his gab. The Decepticons then begun their pursuit of the Cyclones. Knock, Knock!

After Fracture had to "rest his optics" again after being rocked by an explosive left behind by the Cyclones, Airazor and Divebomb tried to appeal to them, Mini-Con to Mini-Con. Among the high points of working under Fracture, Airazor assured the Cyclones his boss did "all the walking" and that he sometimes smiled. When that failed to convince them, the duo decided to try and scrap the Cyclones instead. Back and Forth By the time the Decepticon Mini-Cons managed to overtake their quarry, they had crossed paths with their Autobot counterparts. Airazor insisted that the Cyclones belonged to fracture, but Slipstream retorted that he had called "dibs" on them. Airazor took on Slipstream in the squabble that ensued. But when Airazor accidentally knocked Slipstream into a rock mound built by the Cyclones, the unaligned Mini-Cons turned their firepower on the other four, forcing them to take cover together. A Level Playing Field

Slipstream was none too happy about sharing his spot with the Decepticons though, and provoked Airazor into fighting him. Airazor declared a "slap fight!" which was brought to an end by Jetstorm. The Autobot Mini-Con told the rest of the group that they needed to fight together to take on the Cyclones. They did so successfully, though the Autobots informed the Decepticons afterwards that they still planned on arresting them. Thankfully, Divebomb invoked the ancient Earth ritual of "Not it!" allowing him and Airazor to walk away from the scene. The two Decepticon Mini-Con then returned to their boss's side, who insisted they all forget the whole thing. Two Plus Two Equals More

Following the defeat of Megatronus, Fracture and his Mini-Cons were freed by Steeljaw. Airazor and Divebomb were deployed in an attempt to stop Fixit and Russell from escaping, however Team Bee picked that moment to arrive. During the ensuing battle, the Vehicons they'd been fighting alongside turned on them as a result of Steeljaw's deceit. A well-placed bomb brought the mountain down on Airazor, Divebomb and the other Decepticons, who were soon restored to stasis pods. Robots in Disguise #6

Robots in Disguise (2015)

[edit]
We sure he and Divebomb didn't get an accidental nameswap?
  • Decepticon Fracture & Airazor (Mini-Con Deployer, 2015)
  • Accessories: Armor sprue (2 energy swords, chest armor, forehead horn/tailfin, left & right arm blades, 2 energy bursts)
Available only with the Robots in Disguise Deployer Fracture toy, Airazor transforms into a Cybertronian torpedo with a single step. Like all Torpedo-style Mini-Cons, he can be fired out of Deployer Fracture's sidecar launcher. He comes with a Decepticon insignia-shaped sprue containing eight translucent blue accessories: the two "energy burst" accessories have 3 mm pegs, making them compatible with most Cyberverse figures and accessories. His armor does not need to be removed to put him in torpedo mode or launch him from Fracture (which makes him look like a tiny spaceship!).
His scannable insignia for the Robots in Disguise mobile app is dead-center in his chest, and easily accessible in-package for scanning without purchase.


  • Microshooter Fracture Set[sic] (Mini-Con Deployer, 2015)
  • ID number: TAV24
  • Release date: August 29, 2015
  • Accessories: Armor sprue (2 energy swords, chest armor, forehead horn/tailfin, left & right arm blades, 2 energy bursts)
The first TakaraTomy Adventure release of Airazor uses a much more lavender shade of plastic, including changing his shoulder armor to lavender. He also has translucent red armor bits instead of blue, and features a different scan-badge that marks him off on the toy checklist when scanned for the Transformers Chronicle app.
He was only available bundled with "Micron Shooter" Fracture (Takara's name for the Deployer figure) and —for reasons nobody can figure out— Sandsting.


  • Airazor (Micron, 2016)
  • ID Number: TMC04
  • Release date: April 29, 2016
  • Accessories: Armor sprue (2 energy swords, chest armor, forehead horn/tailfin, left & right arm blades, 2 energy bursts)
Airazor was later given an individual release in Japan as part of the first and only wave of single-packed Adventure Microns, under the new Prime of Micron subline imprint. This version has been much more extensively redecoed to make him far more show-accurate than his prior toys, but not quiiiiiiite there yet.

Kre-O

[edit]
  • Optimus Prime Beast Blaster (2015)
Using the Cityville-style micro-Kreon body (well, the torso, anyway), Kre-O Airazor was available only as part of the "Optimus Prime Beast Blaster" set. He uses the Lockdown helmet, which when you flip down the faceplate and fold down the legs, actually gets him into a nice little torpedo mode.
All of the 2015 Transformers Kre-O product was skipped by retailers in the U.S. (at first), seeing release in Canada, Australia and various Asian markets. In late 2015, much of the line was finally released at discount in the U.S. through TJ Maxx stores, including this set.
