Terragator

Terragator is a Predacon from the Beast Era portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

All tremble before the Ass Cannon!

Terragator is happy in the swampy environment that both aspects of his beast mode call home. His amphibious nature means Maximals must be on guard on land and in the water.

Fiction

IDW Beast Wars comics

On Cybertron, the Maximal Terragator specialized in trekking through sewer tunnels and other unsavory environments. Beast Wars Sourcebook #4

Magmatron came to prehistoric Earth to create an army from the Axalon's abandoned protoforms. Terragator was presumably among the protoforms that were successfully turned into Predacons. Magmatron ordered his forces to seek out the Maximal spy Razorbeast and his small group. The Gathering #2 Within a few days, the Predacons had located the Maximal base and engaged. During that battle, Terragator got stomped by Polar Claw. The Maximals won, and the surviving Predacons were driven into the wilderness. The Gathering #4

Terragator later participated in a last ditch attempt to attack the Maximal base. The Ascending #1 He got tail-whipped at least twice by Grimlock, so when the Pack arrived to back the Maximals up, he switched targets and tried to ride Mach Kick instead. The Ascending #2 Then Lio Convoy stomped on him. The Ascending #3

When the Blendtrons, the dread heralds of Shokaract turned up, Terragator was among the Predacons left behind to fight them. He was against joining the battle against them, pointing out to Optimus Minor that none of them were in any shape to fight. The Ascending #4

Beast Wars: Uprising

Terragator was on the Predacon team in the fateful final match of the Games, during which he started off close to Maximal combatant Sonar and fired on her with his shoulder-mounted missile launcher. They were paralyzed mid-combat by Lio Convoy who, having assassinated game overseer Supersonic, used their battle as an example of how the potential of Maximals and Predacons was wasted on the Games.

• Terragator (Basic, 1998)

Truly, a shellformer in every sense of the word.

Terragator, a Fuzor, transforms into an alligator/turtle mix. In robot mode, his shell becomes a removable shield, and his tail is revealed by his HAND to be an AWESOME WEAPON, complete with dangling croc-half beast mode rear legs attached to it by ball-joints. In beast mode, pushing the tail section forward would open the gator's mouth.
