Terrorsaur (Armada)
| The name or term "Terrorsaur" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Terrorsaur (disambiguation). |
- Terrorsaur is a Decepticon from the Armada portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.
Terrorsaur is an obnoxious, loud-mouthed thug who no one likes. But he also happens to be a coolly-effective warrior on the battlefield, which is the only reason why his Decepticon comrades tolerate him. Of course, they'd never actually TELL him he's a natural in the ways of combat. That'd just reinforce Terrorsaur's already over-blown ego.
Terrorsaur's partnered with the Mini-Con Ironhide. Claimed by Terrorsaur after he killed her old Autobot partner, Ironhide became nothing more than a slave to the despicable Decepticon.
Fiction
Armada/Energon comics
Terrorsaur was one of the Transformers abducted by Unicron during the Unicron Battles. Ten years later, when Alpha Quintesson sent the Terrorcons to Earth to raid the planet's energon resources, he also dispatched the reprogrammed Terrorsaur and others to Cybertron, where, as Unicron's Four Horsemen, they attacked the Autobots in order to prevent them from coming to Earth's assistance. Fortunately for both Cybertron and Earth, the newly-created Omnicons were able to defeat Terrorsaur and company.
Toys
Armada
- Terrorsaur w/ Ironhide (Super-Con, 2003)
- Accessories: Left & right wing-blades
- A redeco and retooling of the Beast Wars Transmetal Terrorsaur, Terrorsaur transforms into a robotic pterodactyl. In beast mode, his wings feature flip-up panels to reveal VTOL fans and "attack blades", plus his backside opens up to reveal twin thrusters. He has been retooled to feature "dead" Powerlinx plugs for Mini-Cons. In robot mode, his wing-tips become hand-held blade weapons. He came with his Mini-Con partner Ironhide.
- This mold was also used to make Beast Machines Terranotron. It was also used as the non-toy model for the Transmetal form of Fractyl and the mutated form of Ravenus.
Notes
- Terrorsaur's toy does not use the same tooling as the previous iteration of the mold, Terranotron. That version added a spark crystal to the twin engines in the back, which Armada Terrorsaur lacks. The non-toy character Ravenus uses a combination of the two, having both Powerlinx plugs and the spark crystal (used to represent his "Doomstone").
- Terrorsaur never appeared in the animated series.
