Explanation of the conversion:
History: Airazor was one of the protoforms from the Maximal ship called the Axalon commanded by Optimus Primal, which chased the Predacon
criminal Megatron II through transwarp space after the theft of the Golden Disk. The
Maximals and Predacons crashed on prehistoric Earth, where high energon levels threatened to destroy the crew unless they
adopted organic alternate modes (Beast Wars Part 1).
The Axalon's cargo of Maximal protoforms in stasis pods had been launched into orbit before the crash, but eventually
Airazor's pod fell to Earth. Falling inside Predacon controlled terratory, the pod was spotted by the Tarantulas and
Megatron II, as well as by Rhinox and Cheetor. Cheetor told Tigatron to contact base with the news. Blackarachnia and
Scorponok II were sent by Megatron II to retrieve the pod. Rhinox was the first to arrive at the crash site and
discovered the pod was damaged and the protoform was dying. Cheetor then arrived to help Rhinox save the protoform. On his
way back to base, Tigatron discovered Scorponok II and disabled him, but was in turn ambushed by Blackarachnia. Rhinox
replaced the damaged locking chip in the protoform with one donated by Cheetor. Cheetor confronted Blackarachnia, keeping
her from getting to Rhinox and the protoform. Cheetor then tried to lure Waspinator and
Terrorsaur away from the pod, but
Terrorsaur got the best of him. Rhinox had to run the sequencer program for the protoform through his own processor to
keep it alive. This knocked Rhinox into stasis lock, but started the DNA scanners for the stasis pod. The protoform was
formatted to the form of a falcon which was flying overhead just as Terrorsaur arrived. The newly born Airazor was able to
defeat Terrorsaur. Rhinox took her back to the Axalon, introducing her to Optimus Primal and
Rattrap (The Spark).
Rhinox conducted tidal research on the planet and discovered that one of the moons seemed to have too low a mass, as if it
was hollow. Tigatron made his weekly radio report to Rattrap at the Maximal base when he was attacked by Terrorsaur and
Waspinator. During the battle the three stumbled across a flying island with a weapons system tower which nearly destroyed the
Predacons. Optimus Primal checked out the scene of the fight, but found nothing. Terrorsaur and Waspinator limped back to
base where they reported on the island to Megatron II. Airazor then reported to the Maximals that she saw the Predacons
flyers return to base severely wounded. As Megatron II sent Scorponok II and Blackarachnia to find the island, Airazor
followed them. Tigatron discovered the island had traps and that the weapons system fired at any use of energy weapons.
Scorponok II found the island using one of his cyber-bees, although Tigatron captured it. Blackarachnia used her line gun
to get them up to the island. Discovering they were being watched, Scorponok II shot Airazor from the sky. Tigatron found
Airazor and reprogrammed the cyber-bee to return to the Maximal base with a message. Cheetor found the cyber-bee. In the
message he warned the Maximals of the island and it's potential power to destroy them if it fell into Predacon hands (The
Trigger Part 1).
As Blackarachnia and Scorponok II discovered the secrets of the island, Airazor and Tigatron worked to get to the
weapons system first. Optimus Primal took Rattrap and flew to the island, but they were intercepted by Terrorsaur and
Waspinator. During the battle Rattrap was able to capture Terrorsaur and ride him to the island. Tigatron and
Airazor triggered a booby trap on the island, but narrowly escaped. The Predacons got to the weapons system first.
Blackarachnia used Terrorsaur to distract the weapons system and blast her way in. She planned to use the weapons
system to destroy the Maximals and rule the Predacons. As Scorponok II attempted to subdue her he fell victim to another
booby trap. Blackarachnia took control of the island from it's command center and set course for the Maximal base.
Optimus Primal ordered Cheetor, Rhinox and Dinobot to evacuate the base.
Before she was able to bring the island within range, Tigatron fought his way into the weapons system and
fired on it's power-core, causing the island to crash. After being destroyed, the weapons system tower sent
a signal a similar tower on the moon, which sent another message into deep space. This turn of events worried the
Maximals, as they wondered who built the island and how they would react to its destruction (The Trigger Part 2).
Inferno II's pod fell to Earth. Blackarachnia uncovered Tarantulas' lair. Tarantulas' wanted to get a hold of an intact
stasis pod so he could make a ship capable of leaving Earth, and his computer system discovered a falling pod. He
sabotaged both the Maximal and Predacon computer systems so neither side would know of the pod, but Tigatron also spotted
the falling pod. Tarantulas and Blackarachnia were the first to the pod and Inferno II was infected with a Predacon shell
program. Although Tarantulas attempted to format the protoform as another spider, he was too late and it had already
scanned a fire ant. As Tigatron closed in on the pod's landing site he was attacked by Waspinator, but saved by Airazor.
Tigatron sent Airazor off to get the pod as quickly as possible. Inferno II emerged as a Predacon fire ant with a
violent personality dominated by his ant nature. Inferno II attacked Tarantulas and Blackarachnia as invaders and set to
protecting his colony, the stasis pod. Inferno II then attacked Airazor. Blackarachnia played along and convinced Inferno
II she was sent by the royalty of the colony. Tarantulas went after the stasis pod while they were occupied. Noticing the
pod was gone, Inferno II hunted down Tarantulas. Airazor went for help as Tigatron tracked the Predacons.
Megatron II's equipment came back online and he sent Scopronok II to bring Tarantulas and his finds back to base. Tigatron
caught up with Tarantulas and destroyed the pod so it wouldn't fall into Predacon hands, but then he was attacked by all
the Predacons. Inferno II vowed to destroy Tigatron and all his kind for the destruction of his colony, but he was
seriously injured when Optimus Primal and Airazor arrived to save Tigatron. Scoponok II then returned Inferno II to the
Predacon base for repairs (Spider's Game).
Inferno II and Blackarachnia watched as the Predacon scientist Fractyl attempted to invent energon armor capable of
protecting them from energon build up. Although seemingly successful, the armor was stolen by the Maximal thief Packrat.
Blackarachinia and Fractyl realized the energon armor was flawed and could destroy the planet if it
came in contact with large amounts of energon. Inferno II pursued Packrat, but since Packrat didn't need to assume beast
mode with the armor on, he got the upper hand in the fight with Inferno II. Hearing the battle, Airazor, Cheetor and Rhinox joined Packrat.
Fractyl convinced Rhinox that the armor was a threat to them all. Rhinox was able to talk Packrat into giving up the
armor, which Fractyl aided them in doing. When Blackarachnia arrived with Megatron II, Packrat suggested that Fractyl
pretend to be attacking the Maximals, who fled. Megatron II was impressed with Fractyl's new found battle prowess
(Convention Comics 1997).
When the Earth was hit by a quantum wave it transfigured several Cybertonians into transmetal forms, but Airazor was
unaltered (Aftermath).
Airazor ended up falling in love with Tigatron, another awakened protoform from the Axalon. They were kidnapped by the
alien Volx.
The sparks of Airazor and Tigatron were used in the creation of the Volx emmesary Tigerhawk. Tigerhawk was killed by
Megatron II using the weapons of the Decepticon ship Nemesis (Nemesis Part 2).
The Volx then ressurected Airazor and Tigatron by placing their sparks into blank Maximal protoforms, only now they were
in transmetal forms. They joined Primal Prime (Convention Comic 2001).
Airazor, Primal Prime and Tigatron set out to discover if any more stasis pods survived. They discovered and recruited
the Maximal Ramulas. Ambushed by the Predacons Tarantulas, Ravage, Razorclaw II, Spittor and
Iguanus, Primal Prime had the Matrix ripped out of his system (Wreckers #2).
Trivia: On the Beast Wars television show, the voice of Airazor
is played by actress Pauline Newstone. The toy of Airazor was rereleased
in a recolor that came with a video. Airazor shouldn't be confused with Airazor II, an Autobot who turns into a
transmetal bird.
Powers: Airazor is energy efficient, fast and a natural flyer. An
aerial reconnaissance expert, Airazor's telescopic optical matrix scanners can detect Predacon ground movement from 30,000 feet.
Internal radar transmitters then relay data to fellow Maximals, complete with 3-D virtual reality maps detailing enemy
location. Cyberblades hidden within wings open for attack mode, and although a photon cannon concealed beneath tail is her
weapon of choice in robot mode, she prefers attacking Predacons with her armor slashing, titanium-plated talons! She can
also launch lethal darts from her wrists in robot mode. She can become a falcon who can fly at top speeds of over
335 mph. She recovers from
damage quicker in beast mode and is better protected from high energon levels as well.
Weaknesses: Airazor has below average firepower. In beast mode she lacks ranged weapons. High energon fields
can adversely effect Airazor if she stays in robot form for too long. Her animal form is protected from high energon
levels.
