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, and later the Horseman Famine, from the Armada portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

Citrusaur.

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

Dreamwave Armada comic

When Unicron attacked Cybertron, Terrorsaur raced into battle with alongside the Autobots Rhinox, Airazor and Cheetor, though he made it clear he didn't want to hear any Autobot pep talks. Suddenly, all four of them were captured by Unicron so that he could cull their memories and learn what had preceded his arrival. The End

Dreamwave Energon comic

Millions of years ago, Terrorsaur was part of a squad of Decepticons under the command of Scorponok. No Exit

Terrorsaur returned ten years after his kidnapping by Unicron, now changed into Famine, one of Unicron's Four Horsemen under the command of Alpha Quintesson. This Evil Reborn The Horsemen returned to Cybertron and began wreaking havoc until the Cybertronians were imbued with the ability to powerlinx with eachother, which allowed them to outpower Famine and the others and drive them off. What Lies Beneath, Part Two

Some time thereafter, the Terrorcons' mission on Earth was not proceeding to Alpha Quintessons' wishes. Unicron's Four Horsemen thus forcibly retrieved the Terrorcons from battle through small warpgates to reassess the plans. What Lies Beneath, Part Four

Energon ceased publication before the story could conclude. The following would have taken place in unpublished issues.

"Well­, being a Horseman is better than being melted, I guess."

• 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 Pteranodon. 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").
