- Airraptor is a Maximal Dinobot from the Beast Machines portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Airraptor is a perfectionist. He's meticulous and pays close attention to detail in everything he does. This, combined with keen visual sensors, makes him a deadly sharpshooter and valued surveillance specialist. These same skills also served him well in his former function as an interplanetary surveyor and navigator aboard the Axalon back before the events of the Beast Wars.[1]

- Accessories: 2 feather-bombs, energy destabilizer pistol
- Part of the second wave of Beast Machines Deluxes, Airraptor is a redeco of the Beast Wars Neo Predacon Archadis, transforming into an organic Archaeopteryx. He replaces the Predacon spark crystal in his chest with a Dinobot one. His wings extend via spring-loaded triggers (the triggers themselves being slightly retooled from Archadis's) to drop feather-bombs, as well as reveal flip-out (non-firing) blasters.
- In robot mode, his right forearm has a pistol with a geared "quick-draw" action, activated by rotating his attached tail-shield, swinging it around into his open hand. Spiffy. The pistol is removable from the mechanism, but he has no other way of holding or storing it, so this is likely just a breakage prevention measure. The wing gimmicks are still available in robot mode, but because of their positioning, the results are awkward at best.
