Colada is a Maximal from the Beast Era of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Quando este colpe a ferido Colada la preçiada. / Vio Diego Gonçalez que no escaparie con el alma.

While Colada (コラーダ Korāda, aka Cohrada and Corahda) may be at the top of his class, he could stand to take some summer courses in Remedial Humility. Quick-tempered and full of himself, Colada's manners are as cold-blooded as his beast mode and he'll rarely give anyone he deems inferior the time of day. He has a considerable rivalry with his teammate Break, who also has a bit of an ego, but whereas Break ultimately understands the qualities of teamwork and friendship, Colada could do without any of that tripe.

Much to the frustration of those he bullies or dismisses, Colada's skills in combat often back up his attitude. A natural warrior, he strikes fast and ferociously, with a slippery defense that makes him a hard target, too. But Colada's proclivity toward going it alone, as well as his pathological inability to make friends, is often his undoing on the battlefield. When he desperately needs help, he's too proud to admit it, and when he does concede to request support, his spurned comrades never let him live it down.

If you like piña Cohradas / And getting caught in the rain...

Cohrada was part of the Gung Ho crew under Big Convoy that defeated Magmatron. After Magmatron's defeat, Cohrada left the official Maximal army to work as an independent agent, since he had little patience for the rules and laws of peacetime. Beast Wars Sourcebook #1

Serving as part of Big Convoy's task force on the trail of Cybertron's illicit trade in Angolmois, Cohrada was present when the Maximal leader located the newly risen tower headquarters of Shokaract. He speculated that this was in fact a structure from an older era of Cybertron, thrust to the surface of the planet by an unknown force. Of course then Shokaract decided that he and the other members of the task force had to die. The Ascending #3 While Cohrada did in fact die originally, this was undone thanks to the Pack using time travel to show up just as Shokaract began massacring the task force. With Shokaract distracted, Big Convoy's team traveled to the Pack's crashed ship, where a suspicious Cohrada stuck a gun in Bump's face. After the situation was made clear to them, the Maximals teamed up with the Pack and the reinforcements there had brought to defeat Shokaract once and for all. The Ascending #4

When Buzzclaw refused to commit to taking down the Builders himself, cocky Corahda impulsively leapt down to confront the reinforcements himself. Unfortunately, Buzzclaw had underestimated the number of reinforcements, and Corahda found himself facing an entire brigade.

Toys

Beast Wars Neo

Snake? Snake?! SNAAAAAAAAAAKE!

• Colada (Deluxe, January 1999)
  • ID number: C-30
  • Accessories: Water-squirting gun

Part of the first wave of Beast Wars Neo toys, Colada transforms from an organic cobra to a robot with vaguely-cowboy-ish styling. His tail is segmented to "whip" freely (like a great many cheap plastic snake toys), plus he has a soft-plastic "bladder" in his mouth that squirts water by pressing on the panel at the top of the snake-mode's hood. Both gimmicks are available in his robot mode; the whip-tail forming his right arm while the bladder-blaster mounts on his left wrist.

He also has a third "Gun Mode" that is kind of a shielded gun emplacement thing, but is honestly best left forgotten.

  • ID number: VS-30
