  • Lazorbeak (Basic, 1997)
Terrorsaur was repurposed from Lazorbeak.
The only new toy in the third wave of year-two Beast Wars Basics, Lazorbeak is actually an entirely new mold-set based on the original Terrorsaur mold, transforming from an organic Pteranodon to robot mode with a spring-loaded mostly-one-step transformation, activated by pulling back on his beast-mode head. (His hands and feet need to be folded out separately.) His handgun folds up to store inside the empty area behind his robot mode head, tucking away neatly in beast mode.
Lazorbeak's most immediately-noticeable physical change from Terrorsaur is the addition of an indent for an energon chip under his beast-mode right wing, but there are lots and lots of small proportion and detail changes throughout the two toys, especially in the faces.[1]
The Lazorbeak mold was also used to make later runs of Terrorsaur in the UK, as well as Beast Wars Neo Hydra and Dinobots Terranotron. The original tooling was used to make Fractyl and Age of Extinction Strafe (no, really).
