| This article is about the Predacon who does not transform into an iguana. For for his Decepticon namesake who may or may not be the same guy and is also not an iguana, see Iguanus (G1). |
- Iguanus is a Predacon from the Beast Era portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Iguanus's specialty is combat sabotage. He uses this cunning skill to thwart his enemies' advances. He's been known to say cool things like, "The shortest path between two Maximal points is a heat-seeking missile." Iguanus appreciates the destruction his job allows him to cause, and carries a massive amount of firepower to rain down devastation on all Maximals who stand in his way. In the end, though, his love of explosions still doesn't hold a candle to some people.
- Japanese name: Igunar
Fiction
Primeval Dawn
The Beast Wars are over, but the battle against evil continues. Tarantulas seeks the power of the Matrix, and uses Transmetal 2 Iguanus as a member of his army. He and Razorclaw take on Ramulus. Odds are they didn't do to well, though, as their comrade Spittor travels to Cybertron with Primal Prime's team, and they are nowhere to be seen.
- (Note: 3H lost its rights to create official Transformers fiction before "Primeval Dawn" could be finished, so the details of numerous characters' fates within it are unknown.)
Dreamwave
It is implied that Iguanus and Iguanus are one in the same, who would've guessed?
IDW Beast Wars comics
Magmatron recruited Iguanus, along with Transquito, Spittor, Drill Bit, Manterror, and Razorbeast. Magmatron's plan was to use the abandoned stasis pods on prehistoric Earth to build an army and take over Cybertron. Upon arrival, Magmatron sent Iguanus and the others to watch over the stasis pods as they were activated. Iguanus witnessed the birth of Retrax.
Razorbeast was revealed as a Maximal spy when Maximals started coming out of the pods. Iguanus was put in charge of organizing hunting parties.
Later, Iguanus located a blank protoform into which Ravage's spark would be inserted. He accompanied Magmatron and Drill Bit to capture Megatron and send him back to Cybertron (to appease the Tripredacus Council). They succeeded in the capture, but failed to prepare the transwarp shunt. Grimlock intervened and ripped Iguanus apart.
Toys
Beast Wars
- Iguanus (Basic, 1996)
- A retool of the basic Megatron mold (or possibly vice-versa), Iguanus transforms from frill-necked lizard to robot mode with a one-step spring-loaded transformation. His removable beast-mode tail hides a non-firing blaster cannon that can be used as a hand weapon.
- This mold was used to make Crazybolt.
- Iguanus (Deluxe Transmetal 2, 1999)
- One of the few non-show Beast Wars characters to get a second new mold, Iguanus transforms into a bio-mechanical frill-necked lizard. His beast-mode head hides a spring-loaded missile launcher that also pops up his frill-plates when activated.
- This mold was used to make Reptilion.
Trivia
- Though he was shown in Japanese Beast Wars catalogue group-shots and given a name, Iguanus himself was never actually released in Japan. The closest he got is his Beast Wars Neo redeco Crazybolt.
- Iguanus appeared alongside Razorbeast on an episode of The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air.
