HEY GUYS TODAY IS A GREAT DAY TO BE STOMPING ON THINGS LAWL DINOSAUR COMICS AMIRITE?!!!!!

Terrorsaur is a stupid, nasty brute who prefers to do all of his fighting in his dinosaur mode. While the other members of his team have more altruistic reasons for doing what they do, Terrorsaur simply enjoys hurting people. He doesn't like facing the consequences of hurting people though, so he makes sure to hurt only bad people. This allows him to be rewarded for his maulings, despite him being vicious and cruel all the while.

Fiction

Classics

Created by the Last Autobot to clean up Cybertron before the Autobots returned, Terrorsaur worked alongside his fellow Mini-Con Dinobots to exterminate Demons and Mutants beneath the planet's surface. He started growling at Overbite when the Dinobots ran into the Predator Attack Team, but was reprimanded by his leader, Hacksaw, before things could get ugly.

After the mysterious destruction of an energon refinery in Altihex, Hacksaw organized a meeting, which the Dinobots were part of. Terrorsaur snacked on a yummy duryllium bar and offered to interrogate the suspicious Demolition Team, but was denied, as Hacksaw knew full well that there'd be nothing left of the suspects if he let Terrorsaur near them. After the meeting's conclusion, Hacksaw left Terrorsaur and Knockdown with the Night Rescue Team to keep watch on things.

When it was revealed that Broadside had both caused the destruction of the refinery and later killed Hacksaw, Terrorsaur and Knockdown tried to get to the murderer, but were hindered by Mini-Cons who allied themselves with him. The New World

• Dinobots (Mini-Con Team, 2006)

Part of the first wave of 2006 Classics Mini-Cons, Terrorsaur transforms into a robotic Tyrannosaurus rex.

There are some paint application differences between the Terrorsaur pictured on the cardback and the final product. One possibility is that since the molds were originally intended to be in two-packs rather than three-packs, the number of available paint applications (which are carefully monitored) per piece was larger in the two-pack arrangement, necessitating some omissions for the three-pack release.

He was only available in a Mini-Con Team three-pack with Knockdown and Swoop. The figure's legs are sometimes switched in box, resulting in the robot mode tail being placed in a quite unfortunate position.

This mold was also used to make Gnashteeth, Chromebite, Universe (2008) Ransack, Dark of the Moon Dualor, and Lost Age Ivan.

Notes

• Like all Classics Mini-Cons, Terrorsaur was originally intended to be in a Cybertron series Mini-Con two-pack. It appears he was slated to be a member of the Decepticon "Predator Attack Team" opposite "Knockdown", who became Firebot.
