Airazor is a Maximal from the Beast Era portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Don't tell her to grow a pair, 'cuz she can and she will.

Primarily used for recon and surveillance due to her aerial alternate mode, Airazor's talents are a great asset to the Maximal cause. She's calm and confident, but also adventurous and brave, with a healthy supply of dry humor. Her aerial skill in either mode, incredibly sharp eyesight and steady aim make her a dangerous opponent.

Due to the circumstances of her "birth," she sees Rhinox as something of a uncle-figure and Cheetor as the sibling she never had. She devotes most of her efforts, however, to taming the wild yet gentle Tigatron. She shares his love for the beautiful planet on which the Maximals are stranded, and it is on this planet where their destiny will be forever intertwined.

She is sometimes previously known as Wing Saber.

Fiction

Cartoon continuity

The Razor's Edge

Her name was Wing Saber.

A routine reconnaissance mission went awry when Wing Saber was captured by the Predacon torturer, Steelgrave. Despite his array of fiendish devices and Bond-villain mentality, Wing Saber was able to elude Steelgrave and fight her way through his henchmen before retreating to her cloaked starship, the Chromia 10. Although she escaped, Wing Saber bore the physical and mental scars from her encounter with Steelgrave for some time.

Later, she was assigned to rendez-vous with a pair of Maximals named Crossblades and Stiletto for a new mission. In violation of the Pax Cybertronia, a group of Predacons had been rampaging through the J'kozian sector and set up a troop manufacturing factory on the conquered world of Nibari. Holographically posing as barmaids, the trio inebriated most of Steelgrave's troops into stasis lock before proceeding into the factory. Their infiltration was cut short by a raid on the factory by the native Nibari population, led by Ritash. Wing Saber's group was forced to divert their mission in order to keep the organics from being completely slaughtered. They were actually doing well...at least, until the true leader of Steelgrave's Predacons made his presence known... Megatron!

Wing Saber's crew evacuated with all due haste, taking Ritash of the Nibari with them. A reassessment of the situation was clearly called for. After a review of the history records, Wing Saber decided that the frequent quotations of "No Known Weaknesses" overlooked Megatron's infamous arrogance, and THAT was what they needed to exploit. The crew of the Chromia 10 challenged Megatron to combat in full view of his subordinates, forcing him to agree in order to save face. During the ritualized combat, Crossblades noticed that the Mighty Megatron was nowhere near as invulnerable as history records indicated. Sensing a ruse, the Maximals concentrated their firepower and revealed "Megatron" was little more than an exo-suit run by his ex-lieutenant, Flamewar. With Flamewar revealed, and the drone troopers brought under the control of Ritash and his rebels, Nibari was well on its way to being freed.

After Airazor was reborn on Earth, she foiled a Predacon plot to launch an orbital weapon. The Razor's Edge

Dawn of Future's Past

Tiger, you just hit the jackpot.

The Predacons who stole the Golden Disk were pursued by Unit 2, who was granted clearance from the Maximal Defense Command Center to commandeer transport. The Maximal who would become Airazor was boarding her ship, the Chromia 10, when Unit 2 approached and demanded use of it. "Airazor" at first refused, but suggested she was open to... persuasion. The call of adventure captured her interest, and instead of handing over the Chromia 10 to Unit 2, she allowed him to hitch a ride, piloting it herself.

The Chromia 10 intercepted the Predacons' ship, the Darksyde, which was engaged in battle with the Axalon and guarded by a mysterious third ship. During the ensuing firefight, the Chromia 10 was badly damaged. Optimus Primal had "Airazor" and Unit 2's sparks remotely uploaded to blank protoforms in the Axalon's cargo hold, which saved their lives, but severely damaged their core mainframes. Dawn of Future's Past

This story is a retcon, as Airazor was originally treated as a newborn protoform in the Beast Wars animated series. Instead, here she is revealed to have been a Maximal who existed previously on Cybertron but ended up on the Axalon in a stasis pod, damaged to the point of not remembering any of her past.

Her stasis pod damaged upon crashing to Earth, Airazor was able to come online due to the genius of Rhinox and the bravery of Cheetor. Rhinox deftly operated the stasis pod's controls and Cheetor offered up his own components to repair it. Immediately out of the pod, she outmaneuvered and destroyed Terrorsaur. Her aerial beast mode, at the time, made her the only Maximal other than Optimus who could fly. The Spark

And the lady shall ride a tiger.

She and Tigatron started to team up more frequently, a prospect Airazor seemed to welcome, but Tigatron preferred to work alone. Their first big adventure together came when a flying island paradise was discovered. The island, however, was covered in booby-traps which were triggered by the use of energy weapons. Airazor rescued Tigatron when he was ambushed by Predacons on the island, but she was damaged badly. The Trigger, Part 1 Tigatron carried her on his back, refusing to leave her behind, and the pair worked together to avoid and overcome the island's traps. The island was ultimately destroyed, much to the sadness and outrage of Tigatron, and he would have secluded himself from the other Maximals further if not for Airazor's concern. The Trigger, Part 2

Soon after, the Predacons beat Tigatron to another stasis pod, reprogramming it and unleashing Inferno. Airazor and Tigatron took turns helping each other, but once again, Tigatron insisted that he work alone. Airazor commented that sometimes you can be too alone. She was right, because after he tracked down Tarantulas and destroyed the stasis pod, Tigatron got shot up a lot. Nearing death, Tigatron was saved by the arrival of Airazor and Optimus Primal. Spider's Game

During a Predacon attack on the Axalon, Airazor saved Optimus from plunging to his doom, but was herself so badly damaged she had to spend several days in the CR chamber. She emerged to find that the other Maximals had succumbed to their beast instincts through having to stay in beast mode constantly, as a result of the Predacons stealing the ship's rectifier coil. While Tigatron helped the Maximals, Airazor was able to infiltrate the largely deserted Predacon base and retrieve the rectifier coil. Call of the Wild

If you barf, you're walking home.

After the Maximals were expelled from their base by the Predacons, aided by a Starscream-possessed Waspinator, Airazor alerted Tigatron to the situation. The pair joined in a ploy to retake their base, which involved an assault on the Darksyde under Starscream's leadership. Possession Airazor was part of the reinforcements provided when Rattrap and Dinobot were trying to find a cure for the energon discharge virus Rhinox was afflicted with. For some reason she felt the need to pose provocatively by Optimus's leg as the Maximals appeared on the scene. The Low Road

After the realization that the aliens who seeded their planet with traps and energon were returning to destroy it, the Maximals and Predacons entered a truce. Optimus Primal used Airazor to try to sneak Rattrap into the Predacon base to find out what Megatron was up to, but Megatron, of course, found them on his scanners and politely asked them to leave. Unbeknownst to Megatron, the ploy was a decoy for Tigatron's infiltration. Before the Storm

"I WONDER IF SLEEPING WITH AIRAZOR IS LIKE SLEEPING WITH A BIRD,IF YOU KNOW"<ref>"If Arcee flirted......"</ref> (Ah, net.eternal.questions...)

The aliens arrived and a new alien structure was built, trapping Airazor, who was tortured. Optimus Primal forced his way inside, with the help of the Predacons, and traded himself to the aliens for Airazor. Rattrap dragged her from the structure, only for them to find themselves at gunpoint — the truce was over. The pair were able to use the activation of the structure's "termination sequence" to deal with the Predacons, before fleeing with the escaping Optimus. Other Voices, Part 1 As one of the planet's moons was revealed as an alien weapon, the Maximals retreated to their base. There, Airazor and Rattrap caught Blackarachnia working on a stasis pod in the ship's hold, and Optimus was able to use it to destroy the Planet Buster, though at the cost of his own life. Other Voices, Part 2

Dammit, I'm not a schoolgirl!

Airazor and Tigatron escaped Transmetalization by the quantum surge. They attempted to stop Blackarachnia escaping, but were both knocked offline by Megatron. Aftermath After repairs, the duo left together to find the rest of the missing stasis pods scattered across the planet. Coming of the Fuzors (Part 1) While on their search, the two Maximals discovered not only a remarkably beautiful valley, but a strange plant. As the two looked into each other's eyes and held hands in quiet celebration, the plant transformed into another Vok device, and as they clasped hands, declaring their love to exist beyond the throes of death, the two were absorbed and shot into space. Cheetor arrived, but was too late, and loudly protested the loss of two of his best friends. Other Visits (Part 1)

Know that I am Razorclaw! Well, part of him. From another universe. It's complicated.

Airazor and Tigatron were kept in a form of stasis until near the end of the Beast Wars, when they were merged together into the powerful being Tigerhawk. Tigerhawk returned to Earth as the emissary of the Vok to stop the deterioration that the Beast Wars were causing to the timestream, his first act being to destroy the Darksyde, sending the Predacons scrambling. Tarantulas managed to capture Tigerhawk and removed the Vok's influence from his frame (and absorbed it into himself), letting Airazor and Tigatron's sparks inhabit Tigerhawk's body. Tigatron's voice was dominant, but Tigerhawk's personality and mannerisms were an amalgam of Tigatron and Airazor's. Other Victories

Shortly afterward, however, Tigerhawk was killed in a standoff with the Nemesis after Megatron retrieved it from the ocean floor. Nemesis Part 2

3H comics

Somewhere near the end of the first year of the Beast Wars, before the Planet Buster ignited the planet's energon, Airazor, Rhinox, and Cheetor overheard a battle between Fractyl and Packrat. Airazor ended up having to rescue Cheetor, who had darted off ahead of them and gotten blasted. After the battle was resolved, she and the other Maximals fled, pretending to be beaten by the timid Fractyl to increase his standing in Megatron's eyes. Ground Zero

WINGS UP WINGS DOWN WHO GIVES A CRAP

After the Beast Wars were over, Tarantulas, presumed destroyed, existed in a new, undead form that was fueled by his new Vok powers. The remaining Vok assembled warriors to end this threat, creating Primal Prime and giving new Transmetal bodies to the extant Sparks of Airazor and Tigatron.

After awakening a stranded stasis pod containing Ramulus, opening a second pod triggered an ambush by Spittor, Iguanus, Razorclaw, and a reborn Transmetal 2 Ravage. Airazor immediately saved Tigatron's life, knocking Spittor aside before Tigatron would have unwittingly come in contact with Spittor's body, covered entirely in cyber venom. This maneuver left her vulnerable to Ravage's gunfire, which knocked her out of the air.

The battle ended catastrophically, and Ramulus, Airazor, and Tigatron were forced to carry a critically-wounded Primal Prime back to the Ark after Tarantulas ripped the Matrix of Leadership from his chest. As Airazor and Tigatron conferred with the seemingly absent Vok, Airazor experienced great pains due to her battle wounds. But before she could explain, the Ark was under attack by Ravage and the Predacons. Primeval Dawn

Due to 3H Productions loss of the convention license, "Primeval Dawn" was never completed. It is telling, however, that Airazor was not present in the subsequently-placed "Wreckers" storyline. "Wreckers: Finale Part II" even has Tigatron awkwardly not answering Rattrap's query as to where Airazor is now. It is unclear for certain what happened to her in the interim, though it is probable that she died.

IDW Comics

After Tigerhawk's body was destroyed, the two sparks contained within split, regaining their individuality. The Vok then proceeded in bestowing upon Airazor a new Transmetal form utilizing a blank protoform. Beast Wars Sourcebook

The Beast Wars Sourcebook alludes to events in which Airazor participates, within the IDW version of the Beast Era timeline, being similar to events in the 3H comics. Many elements from both timelines are incompatible, meaning that although roughly analogous to each other, these events are likely not exactly the same in the two timelines.


Transmetal Toy Bio

With her new body, Airazor has become a warrior that inspires absolute fear in the Predacons, thanks to her deadly armor-ripping talons. Her post has been adjusted to sea reconnaissance, in light of her vehicle mode. Transmetal Airazor Bio

The on-package bios of the Transmetal sub-line presented a micro-continuity where all of the characters receiving a new toy were transmetalized due to the initial quantum surge, instead of a select few.


Beast Wars Metals comic

From chick to guy and back to chick!

Following the Quantum surge, Airazor, who is a girl, became a Transmetal. However, she was separated from the rest of the Maximals and was locked outside of their base during Quickstrike's counterattack. As she flew in, Sentinel's defenses began to fire at her. Rhinox attempted to shut Sentinel down, only to be stopped by Rattrap, who warned him that Sentinel was the only thing protecting them from Quickstrike's Cobra Corps and Scorpion Corps. Rhinox brushed him aside and shut Sentinel down, anyway. Airazor, who had been shot by Sentinel, swooped in for a crash-landing. Rattrap, feeling somewhat guilty, dove to soften her landing. Not long after this, Blackarachnia breached their defenses and took out both Rattrap and Airazor without effort. Rhinox saved her some time and appeared to shoot himself in the head. Feeling her job was done, Blackarachnia left as Quickstrike destroyed their base.

From a small section of the base that had been protected by a forcefield, Airazor aided Rattap and Rhinox in pulling Optimus Primal's spark from Transwarp space. As Rhinox brought his spark out from oblivion, Rattrap funneled it through a ray device while Airazor positioned a reflective dish. Primal's spark bounced off the dish and connected with his body (which was being held by Megatron at his base, the Hindenburg), resurrecting him as a Transmetal. Airazor, still injured from before, began to plummet to the ground. Primal rescued her, destroyed Megatron's drone army, and carried her off on his flying surfboard. Recovering, Airazor began to wonder where her "Tigatron-sama" was. Raise the Curtain for Beast Wars Metals!!

Later, Airazor's spark became separated from her body, with her body becoming host to a malevolent force. The evil Airazor did battle with Tigatron, who did not want to fight the robot he loved. With no other option, Tigatron gave the evil Airazor one of his katana and knelt down. As the evil Airazor struck him with the sword, the real Airazor's spark entered Tigatron's body. In cyberspace, the two embraced and vowed never to be apart again. As their sparks merged, they became Tigerhawk.

TransTech

How Robin would have looked in Batman Beyond...

Airazor, sporting a purely Cybertronian form, became a resident of Axiom Nexus at an unknown point in time and the timelines. She joined the offworlders' Freelance Police Legion and also forged ties with their parallel organization, the Axiom Nexus Security Administration run by the planet's native Cybertronians, the Transcendent Technomorphs. Airazor eventually received authorization as an inspector in the Security Administration, giving her the rare (if not unique) status as an officer for BOTH police forces in Axiom Nexus. Despite her official status, Airazor still enjoyed her vices, and was a frequent customer of the Widow's Cafe Cybertronian at the edge of the Heap.

Airazor was involved in the first detaining of Jackpot and Hubcap, after the assassination of Gutcruncher sent Axiom Nexus into chaos. She and Stungun stood guard over the duo while awaiting Commander Cheetor's arrival. As is often the case with femmes, she had absolutely no tolerance for Jackpot's sweet-talk. Upon his arrival, Cheetor dismissed Airazor to keep an eye on three "units of interest" who had recently come through Processing Central. He casually suggested she recruit some Freelancers as well to keep the surveillance less official, since it was technically out of their jurisdiction. Her departure served a double purpose, leaving a viable exit for the lowtech Autobots to flee and draw out the real assassin for the Security Administration. Once Black Shadow and his shell were deactivated, Airazor swooped in and took Jackpot into custody again immediately. Despite his claims of having found a real connection, she was thrilled when Commander Cheetor expedited his departure to his home universal stream. Gone Too Far

Shortly after her promotion to Inspector Airazor, the Maximal had occasion to drop in on her old friend Crystal Widow at the Widow's Cafe. It was hardly a social call, however, as Security Administration had been requesitioned by General Demolishor of the Military Police to conduct a serious investigation into some courier murders and the theft of unauthorized TransTech technology. One of Crystal Widow's regular, Escargon, had been pegged for the matter. Airazor tried to execute a quiet arrest, but General Demolishor's attention span and flair for the dramatic turned it into a decidedly UNquiet raid of the premises. Demolishor also executed Escargon on the spot while Airazor was attempting to gain control of the suspect.

In his zeal, however, General Demolishor hadn't thought to check if Escargon had the stolen property before shooting him. Sure enough, a thorough search by Inspector Airazor appeared to turn up no traces of the property on his person. Dejected, General Demolishor turned his frustrations on the clientelle, particular several "mechanoids of interest" called GoBots who had arrived around the same time as Escargon. With some fast legalese, Airazor managed to talk Demolishor out of doing further damage to the bar or Crystal Widow's customers. After the good general departed, Airazor explained the seriousness of the situation — Escargon had stolen a set of transit passes, official letters for TransTech black ops work that allowed unmolested access to any transwarp platform facility. Literally a "Get Out of Axiom Nexus Free" Card.

General Demolishor was not so easily deterred, though, and soon wound up battling Crystal Widow and the GoBots in the Heap until Airazor and Commander Cheetor arrived with the Security Administration. The general was quickly deflated when Cheetor told him he had informed Commander Megatron personally about the issuance of these unauthorized transit passes, and the fact that Demolishor had lost them. Because the Heap was outside of Security Administration jurisdiction, the collar officially went to Airazor as a representative of the Freelance Police Legion.

As Demolishor was being led away, Commander Cheetor requested a private word with Inspector Airazor. In no uncertain terms, he very loudly did not say he knew she had swiped the passes while frisking Escargon, and did not tell her to make sure the passes were handed over to the GoBots. Reluctantly, Airazor did as she was not ordered to do and gave up her meal tickets. Withered Hope

She should hang out with Override.
  • Airazor (Basic, 1997)
    • Japanese ID number: C-10
    • Accessories: Blaster
Part of the first wave of year-two Beast Wars product, Airazor transforms into a somewhat generic falcon (or some other bird of prey) with opening beak. Unlike first-year Basics, Airazor's transformation is entirely manual, rather than spring-loaded. Pulling on the yellow-plastic feathers near her tail activates a spring-loaded wing-movement gimmick. Each wing also has a flip-out blade. Her tail hides both a heat-sensitive "energon chip" and a non-firing blaster that can be hand-held or mounted on the underside of either forearm.


This took forever to photograph because the damn thing's ankles are looser than George Michael. You're welcome.
  • Airazor (Video pack-in, 1997)
    • Accessories: Blaster
The original Airazor toy was given a similar but darker redeco, and packaged with a VHS tape containing the episodes "Aftermath" and "Coming of the Fuzors (Part 1)". She retains all of her previous gimmickry.


  • Aerial Showdown: Airrazor vs Kuwagaigar (Basic, 1997)
    • Japanese ID number: VS-10
    • Accessories: Blaster
For her (his) Takara release, Airazor was available both as an individually-boxed toy, and in an "Aerial Showdown" Vs-pack with Insecticon. Both toys were identical to their individual releases.


First American toy designed to be a girl from the start.
  • Airazor (Deluxe Transmetal, 1998/1999)
    • Japanese ID number: C-45
Transmetal Airazor transforms into a mechanical falcon, with a third "seaplane" mold with fold-down pontoons. In robot mode, the chromed beast-mode backplate can fold around it for a "shield" mode. Some early releases of the Hasbro Airazor have much more lavender-hued chrome than the normal blue of later versions.
The Japanese version of this toy has the yellow plastics replaced with a bright orange and the opaque white replaced with a translucent white plastic. The "AIRAZOR" tampograph on its chromed shields was also changed to "CYBERTRON" with the Maximal faction symbol.
This mold was also used to make Armada Airazor.


  • Heatwave Showdown: Airrazor vs Quickstrike (VS set, 1999)
    • Japanese ID number: VS-45
In Japan, Metals Airrazor was available both as an individual and in a "VS" pack with Quickstrike. Both toys are identical to their individual releases.


  • Airazor (Deluxe Transmetal, 2000)
One of the final releases of the normal Beast Wars line, Airazor's Transmetal toy was given a tweaked deco and released as part of the so-called "Fox Kids" assortment of Deluxe Transmetal redecos. This redeco was not as drastic a change from the original as the others in the series, mostly making her a little darker and more desaturated.
This version of Airazor was made available in Japan as a JafCon convention exclusive along with the "Fox Kids" versions of Transmetal Cheetor and Rattrap.


Timelines

I am a symptom of the retroactive ruination of Beast Wars.
  • Airazor (Club exclusive, 2007)
    • Accessories: Missile
The second members-only exclusive to Fun Publications' Transformers Collectors' Club, Airazor (referred to as "Chromia 10 Pilot" in her bio) is a redeco of Energon Slugslinger with a retooled head, transforming into a Cybertronic twin-cockpit jet. Her jet mode has an under-slung spring-loaded missile launcher (which flips over her shoulder in robot mode), plus she also has flip-out (non-firing) blasters as well.


Merchandise

  • Beast Wars Transformers Mutating Card Game (1997)
Airazor was one of the 24 beast warriors to receive a battle card representation for the Beast Wars card game.


Gender

Transman.

Airazor's gender in the Hasbro line is due to Beast Wars story editors Bob Forward and Larry DiTillio's insistence. The original Airazor toy wasn't developed with a specific gender in mind, and Bob & Larry wanted a larger female presence in the show, and the Airazor toy seemed as good a choice as any. They requested the change early enough that the toy's packaging bio could have its pronouns changed to female. The later Transmetal version of Airazor was the first American-released Transformer mold created to represent a female character.

In the Japanese dub of Beast Wars, Airazor was turned into a boy as a means to (hopefully) increase toy-sales. For the TV series, his relationship with Tigatron was originally presented in a "brotherly" sort of way; Tigatron was portrayed as a "samurai retainer" and Airazor as his "ward". By "Other Visits (Part 1)", however, there was no means for the dub team to get around the scene in which Airazor and Tigatron stare into each others' eyes while holding hands and slowly leaning in for a kiss. So in that instance, Airazor fully "came out" and began to express his affections for Tigatron just before the two of them were abducted by the Vok. Japanese magazine editors, responding to letters from confused young fans, gently explained that "some people are just like that".

In the case of the Beast Wars Metals manga, however, Airazor's female gender was retained, as was her heterosexual romantic relationship with Tigatron. This was due to the fact that Airazor's Transmetal toy had an indisputably feminine build. Additionally, there was never a manga for the original Beast Wars cartoon in Japan, so the backstory for Metals could be whatever writer/artist Shōji Imaki wanted it to be (the manga has numerous irreconcilable differences from the show's events right out of the gate).

Though Airazor's gender was "restored", her personality underwent an overhaul, not in any way resembling her self-assured Western characterization. Since Japanese entertainment for young boys does not cotton to female warrior characters (these are the people who turned Arcee into a go-fer), Airazor was reduced to a helpless damsel in distress with a subservient and single-minded devotion to her "Tigatron-sama". Commence puke.

Notes

  • Somewhat inexplicably, a number of the Italian toyline-specific names for various Beast Wars characters were only printed on the cardback for the Italian "video-pack" release of Airazor; the names do not even appear on the cardback for "video-pack" Razorclaw, who was presumably released in proximity to her, if not at the same time. The Italian names only printed on "video-pack" Airazor were: Insector (Powerpinch), Rapax (Lazorbeak), Vortex (Drill Bit), Anfibius (Spittor), Diablo (Snarl), Cannibal (Manterror), Tenax (Retrax), Dingo (K-9), and Bison (Bonecrusher).
  • The name of Airazor's ship in Dawn of Future's Past, the Chromia 10, is a reference to her original toy's Japanese ID number, and not to being "case fresh"... as is obvious from her dialogue.
  • The Dawn of Future's Past Club exclusive toy is only sorta technically the second Club exclusive toy. She was actually shipped at the same time as Astrotrain, but he was the first toy advertised.

Foreign names

  • Japanese: Airrazor (エアラザー Earazā)<ref>Sources consistently Romanize the name as such.</ref>
  • French: Aérolame (Canada, "Aero Blade"), Serres D'Acier (Canada cartoon and Transmetal, "Talons of Steel")
