Uruaz is a Decepticon from the Bumblebee portion of the live-action film series continuity family (via Studio Series).
With the force of ages. Centuries gone by!

Uruaz is the evil twin of Zauru.[1] He probably plays prehistoric evil music.

Toys

Generations

  • Bumblebee Vol. 1 Retro Rock Garage (3-pack, 2018)
    • Number: 19
    • Accessories: Left & right cannons
Studio Series Uruaz utilizes a recreated mold of Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers Saur, transforming from mini-cassette into an Apatosaurus. Two silver cannons plug into the faux cassette tape holes near his hind legs. In tape mode, he fits into the chest compartment of the original Blaster or Soundwave toys (and their retooled reincarnations). Uruaz combines with Dairu to form the legs of an unnamed combiner. His cannons become hip-mounted weapons in this form.
It appears that the two combiner mode toes were swapped on some copies.
He debuted in a San Diego Comic-Con 2018 exclusive box set, alongside Dairu and a gold redeco of Bumblebee. In Taiwan, this set was available at general retail.
He was redecoed into Studio Series Bumblebee Vol. 2 Retro Pop Highway Zauru.

Notes

  • "Uruaz" is a backwards spelling of the direct romanization of Saur's original Japanese name "ザウル" (Zauru). That name is in turn the back half of an archaic Japanese rendering of "dinosaur" or else is wordplay on the modern Japanese version of "dinosaur".
  • In that same vein, Uruaz's color scheme is a photo-negative of the original Saur's.
