Batora (バトラ) is Skullcruncher's bird-type partner drone who helps keep his teeth clean. Batora also doubles as an excellent hostage taker/shield user.

Fiction

Transformers Legends comic

Batora was created by Tarantulas to complement Skullcruncher's new transtector, and was ridden into battle by Weirdwolf during their attack on Tokyo. When the Autobots showed up to stop them, Weirdwolf had Batora grab Chromedome and held him hostage by forcing him into the drone's dinosaur mode. Though the Decepticons were defeated, Chromedome was unable to get out of Batora and had to live his life as a dinosaur for some time afterwards. Bonus Edition Vol. 22

Notes

• The first syllable of Batora's name may come from "bird" (バード bādo), but the full meaning of the name remains unclear.
• Batora's behavior is based on stories about cleaning symbiosis between crocodiles and certain birds (though actual examples of this behavior are rare).
