Poor ROTB Airazor, turned into a monster by Unicron and forced to be put down by her allies.

Exact same thing happened to a Maximal named Razorbeast in IDW’s Beast Wars Ascending comics.

I remember as a kid first seeing Airazor and being blown away. She was not only one of the coolest characters, but also one of my personal favorites alongside Tigatron.

[darrenheideman]

I really liked what was done with Airazor in WFC Kingdom, especially her interactions with Dinobot.
With ROTB, I had a feeling that she would be killed, but the way it happened was a real gut punch.

What I like about the Terrorsaur/Airazor rivalry is that birds took over the skies after the pterosaurs themselves went extinct. Terrorsaur and Airazor were complimentary rivals, Terrorsaur hates helping out and always on edge, whereas Airazor just goes with the flow and helps out.
Just as Tigatron and Inferno are kinda considered complimentary rivals as well Tigatron loved the beauty in nature, peace, and was a loner, as Inferno loved destruction, pain, and ALL FOR THE Tigatron symbolised Ice, and Inferno well, fire.

The Japanese dub accidentally writing themselves into making Airazor and Tigatron into gay lovers will never not be hilarious to me.

I liked how she was the central Maximal character in the film. It made her death more impactful. To me it honestly is the best on screen death of an protagonist in a live action transformers movie as it actually had an impact on the characters. would love to see a Beast Wars prequal film or her to be reformatted into a Terrorcon in the sequel.

I do wish Airazor survived the film as Yeoh did an amazing job voicing the character

[sivanlevi]

Man, I love Airazor! Her alternate mode is the fastest flying animal on the planet, and I've always been a guy who loves speed over power. Whether it's in comics or animation, her future looks bright to me!

[baddabohn]

I wasn't the biggest Airazor fan to begin with, but learning of Michelle Yeoh as the voice in ROTB definitely raised my interests. Seeing her be killed though by Primal hurt 😢 and unfortunately not seeing her robot mode was disappointing. She could have been an awesome asset in the final fight

[davidthompson]

She and Tigatron are my two all-time favorites. I'm stoked that she is getting such a big moment in the spotlight

[brianlevine]

It's great that Airazor has gotten more attention in recent years, especially with her large roles in the Netflix "Kingdom" series and the new ROTB movie. Still would've been nice to see her in robot mode in the latter, but at least she was able to do plenty of things there and her falcon mode was beautifully designed.

[KadenKenz]

ROTB Airazor was possibly her coolest iteration, if only we got more of her.

[jacksykes]

What I think they should of done with her in the movie is
Still have her corrupted by the dark energy
But
Primal pulls a last knight and snaps her out of it long enough but the infection in her wing would still be left as a scar
She would be in the climax in her robot mode but as the movie ends the darkness gets to her spark and the Maximals and the autobots Lay her to rest in the jungle
Just to give them a “we won but at what cost”

[mechasaurus]

Air Razor's debue episode was the first Transformers (anything) episode I ever saw; Rhinox' description of Sparks really helped set the basis of understanding Cybertronians for me.

[ryanbelmont]

Yeah, Airazor deserved better in ROTB and I really wish she maximized to fight in the movie's final fight alongside her fellow Maximals against Unicron's forces. 🤞. Here's hoping we get another great version of Airazor that has a bigger role in the story and actually transforms to robot mode and survives through to the end.

[peterdanior]

That black & red recolor of Transmetal Airazor would work great as a Beast Wars version of Laserbeak

[TheScwall]

Thank you for releasing this. RotB Airazor is the very first Transformers figure my wife has purchased FOR HERSELF!! 😍😮
This video will help ensure that it's not her last!! 😅

[NightmareZerogbs]

It's so good to see her rise back into stardom since her important role both in the comics and in the Netflix show all the way to being voiced by an Oscar winner in a big screen movie!

[jonpower]

Her robot mode and Rhinox's lines were my favorite thing in the recent film.

[Loremastrful]

Because of all the recolors during the WFC line, I was kinda disappointed we only got one Airazor and one Skywarp. I imagined we'd get upgraded Lazerbeak and Buzzsaw, Freedom as a cheeky GI Joe crossover snuck in while Hasbro wasn't looking. I even imagined a Sorcerss Airazor along with Buzz-Off Waspinator as a TF x MOTU (not officially, but as a fun repaint project) And the more obvious Silverhawk and Visionaries redecos.
