Deathsaurus (G1)

Spell it right or you're kickbanned, buster.

Deathsaurus is a Decepticon in the Generation 1 universe.

Deathsaurus is a savage and cruel dictator, yet he's oddly fond of human children.

The Decepticon Emperor of Destruction, he bears a bitter grudge against Autobot Supreme Commander, Star Saber. He prefers to lead his warriors from a distance, though engages in battle when necessary. Much like a Bond villain, he'll gladly tell you his plan before leaving you unsupervised in a delayed-result death trap.

He commands the Decepticon Space City. Deathsaurus is a Breastforce warrior, meaning he has two detachable breastplates which can transform into the Tigerbreast and Eaglebreast, respectively.

(Note: There used to be much debate over the proper romanization of Deathsaurus' name. In roomaji, the Japanese name reads phoenetically "De-su-za-ra-su". It has been interpretted as Deszaras, Death Czarus, Def Zarce, Deaths 'R' Us, Debt Source, Death's Arse and god knows what else. "Deathsaurus" eventually won out, with the character's first toy ever officially released on Western shores bearing that name.)

Fiction

Timelines: Descent into Evil

Deathsaurus orchestrates the rise of a New Decepticon Empire, or NAMBLA.

Using a clone lab on Ceti Alpha Seven, Deathsaurus wished to revive the fading Decepticon Empire with a vast Insecticon army. After the first batch was completed, his operation was interrupted by a team of Autobot commandos under the command of Ironhide. Deathsaurus overpowered and captured the first wave himself, and soon faced Ironhide one-on-one, while Ratchet attempted to rescue the fallen Autobots. Due to the assistance of Tripredacus Agent Flamewar, these two were defeated and captured as well. They woke up bound inside Deathsaurus' clone lab. The Emperor of Destruction appeared on a television screen, declaring that his use for the lab was completed and was prepared to detonate it remotely with the Autobots inside. Unfortunately for Deathsaurus, the Autobot espionage agent Ricochet not only freed the Autobots before the explosion occurred, but also seeded the remaining clones with a virus, leaving Deathsaurus with nothing to show for his work.

If you squint, he could be Megatron.

• Deathsaurus

Part of the BotCon 2005 preregistrant Descent into Evil boxset, Deathsaurus was a blue and black retool of Robots in Disguise Megatron/Galvatron. His head was a new sculpt based on Deathsaurus' appearance in the Victory anime (though Deathsaurus's face seems to be copied from Megatron's). Deathsaurus' mold was originally a nine-changer, though the "gargoyle"/bat mode was neutered for this release due to the dropping of the bat snout piece. His tail came misassembled.

The first 100 boxset preregistrants received an exclusive Deathsaurus pin.
