RIDLEY CONFIRMED

An aerial powerhouse, Air Command Artillery Private Pteraxadon makes everyone aware of his presence whether by beast mode screeching or axe mode attack.[1]

Part of the second wave of Siege Battle Masters, Pteraxadon transforms from robotic Pteranodon to a "Binary Edgewing Scythe". The weapon mode can be held by or mounted on other figures via 5 mm posts. Though not shown in the instructions, an extra post on the body of the weapon (attached to his head) allows this mode to be held like a blaster, with the handle forming the barrel; the tip of the handle/barrel has a small peg for attaching blast effects.
Pteraxadon includes an effect piece to simulate his axe mode impacting another object that clips onto the blade-edge. It can also be mounted on the small blast-effect pegs of figures by the hole in the "impactee" side of the effect.
Pteraxadon was redecoed into Terror-Daxtyl and Enerax.

Private Pteraxadon, Air Command-Artillery is one of forty-eight double-sided character cards available in Wave 3 of the Transformers Trading Card Game, War for Cybertron: Siege I. As a Battle Master, Private Pteraxadon, Air Command-Artillery begins the game in Bot Mode. Instead of being sent to the KO Area once his Health drops to zero, the card is flipped to the Upgrade side, becoming the Binary Edgewing Scythe, and equipped in the Weapons slot of another character on the player's side of the battlefield. In order to represent Pteraxadon's size as a Battle Master, the card is the size of a battle card, about half the size of a normal character card.
The artwork for Bot Mode is reused from the Siege Pteraxadon toy's packaging art. The Binary Edgewing Scythe received original artwork, with line-art by Dan Khanna and colors by Caravan.

Notes

  • The Flyt, an organic animal species featured in the 2019 Transformers comic series, are very loosely inspired by Pteraxadon.[2][3]
