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

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.

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.

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

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 COLONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tigatron symbolised Ice, and Inferno well, fire.

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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”

Airazor and primal had one of the most saddest scenes in a live action transformers movie.

I literally just watched Rise of the Beasts. I'll always watch anything with the beast wars cast in it

I'm surprised there wasn't any mention about the mainline RotB Airazor figure. That's a totally different design than the Studio Series version.

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.

I hope they bring Tigertron into the next live action, and hopefully show us a flashback of him together with Airazor (in her bot form)….alternatively let him sacrifice during a battle and had his body taken to the Maximal village where Airazor's remain was, then as soon as everyone left the surrounding flashes as energon enter the two bodies, teasing the resurrection of the two or even better Tigerhawk.

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

Airazor has flown into the hearts of Transformers fans!! From the Beast Wars series, to the Kingdom line, and into the Rise of the Beasts movie, she is the Maximal master of the skies.

It just hit me, both of Fractures torpedo mini-cons from RID 2015 use to be birds of prey transformers in a past life.

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!! 😅

Never knew about the Transmetal 2 Tigerhawk toy. Till my friend showed up at my door with one and the Transmetal 2 Dragon Megatron. He had found these at Tesco's for £5.00 each and thought I needed these for my collection. Of course I refunded him the £10.00, we where both students in 2000/01. But that for me is a true sign of friendship that he went out his way. Too get me these figures and yes over 20 years later we are still friends.

Airazor's beast form is gorgeous and mysterious, I love the metal thingy on her chest, it is like an ancient ornament. Sad that we never seen her robot mode. Also, justice to Stratosphere and Wheeljack.

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!

Somewhere in Japan there's a Beast Wars fan who's going to watch Rise Of The Beasts and be really confused upon seeing a female Airazor.

I really loved Airazor in the film. A shame she didn't have a robot mode in the movie, but she was so kind and voiced by Michelle Yeoh as a nice bonus

Airazor is by far one of my favorite Beast wars characters. I remember as a kid thinking that she was the coolest character ever and being so sad when she and tigertron were taken away. I wish she could've transformed in the movie but I'm just so happy she's been getting the love she's deserved over the years. I hope she becomes more of a main stay in the franchise and makes more appearances

She's a darn Awesome character! While it is a shame she had to die in ROTB, she was Amazin' in it, and helped the new universe develop! I hope she's not forgotten in the future movies.

I applaud the terminology word play at the end. Using a phrase that typically employs some form of 'rise', but changing it to 'stoop' after the power dive predatory birds, specifically the peregrine hawk that Airazor was originally modeled after, use in hunting.

Airazor might be my favorite Maximal. Her appearance in the Kingdom series All but convinced me to give Beast Wars a chance.😊

I really think Rotb airazor should have her own prequel film because she did mention that she did have her own team of maximals and it would be cool to see what happened to them where they all killed by the terrorcons or even the predacons I just think it would be cool to see what happened between the events of the opening to when the maximals are reactivated from stasis lock

I've never been a fan of the Beast Era, but I really love her design so she is one of only three Beast Era characters I have toys of. I really liked her in the movie, but I was definitely disappointed she was killed off since she was probably the one Beast character besides maybe Primal who got a significant amount of screen time.

When a Basics episode comes online there’s great joy 🦅

Rest in peace pauline newstone aka the voice of airazor You've left a big impact on this franchise and showed us that even robots can have romance no matter what And I'm sure somewhere your flying high like the falcon airazor is So rest well.

Man, Tigerhawk always bothered me even when I was younger and fairly unaware of the stuff that went on behind the scenes. They clearly had more in mind with the character. Like, it was so sudden and it didn't help they went out really weak too.

For obscure characters month you should do a basics video on Apelinq, that would be nice.

Thank you so much Chris I have been waiting for this one for a long time

Airazor is one of my favorite female bots in transformers and even though we didn't see her robot mode in rotb it would be awesome to see airazor in future tv shows and video games

Airrazor getting killed in Rise of the Beasts was such a huge disappointment, and also why wasn’t she revived by the energon wave when it revived Bee and fixed Stratosphere?

Airazor alongside silverbolt was always one my favorite maximal designs. My major issue with the character in the show is that they treated her introduction like she'd be the first character since dinobot to be another main stay on the show, but no, for some reason she was a character who was usually a scout character that was outside the base for ninety percent of the show, and considering that she was tied with depth charge as the character with the least screen time, that meant she was unfortunately very underutilized.

Airazor and Tigatron forever!

My favorite moment for air razor in rotb was when they fridged her and didn't even think about resurrecting hwr6

11:35 She stoops to conquer! I remember that quote from the Beast Wars ep Call of the Wild, when Airazor goes on a solo mission to infiltrate the Predacon base for an... Energon dampening device? Anyhow, cool callback! Hehe

Probably my biggest complaint with ROTB is that the maximals spend almost no time in robot mode. Would have loved to see more of them transforming.

Michelle Yoah did a magnificent job voicing Airazor in the Rise of the Beasts.

I actually thought Scourge shot her with a corruption device that contains cosmic rust. I thought that was a great nod and a well researched idea that the animators implemented.

I haven't seen rotb, but spoilers don't bother me. That was a significant spoiler. Thank you. Just makes me want to see it even more.

In my school vr game, she played a major role in the game as she took on nemesis prime alone but was put into stasis lock by him, but then reformatted into a new demonic alt mode

I always liked how airazor was the sister to Cheetor and it was a shame that she didn't get a transmetal form in the cartoon. Next to Primal, Cheetor and Tigatron. Airazor is my other favorite Maximal.

also her ROTB version basically makes her Fire Rodan from the Godzilla franchise with her fire-breathing powers, lol.

Hi Chris, even though you're Asleep Great Video about Transformers: THE BASICS on AIRAZOR, keep them coming, Also Airazor is not only one of my favorite Maximals but also one of my favorite Transformers Beast Wars Characters of all time, also my favorite version of Airazor was the Original Cartoon Beast Wars version of Airazor Allegiance:(as of 2023):Maximal, Primary Function:(as of 2023): Aerial Reconnaissance, Beast Mode/Transformation(as of 2023): Peregrine Falcon, Weapons/Abilities:(as of 2023): Airazor's optical matrix scanners Cyberblades,(robot mode) As hand-held photon blaster as well as wrist-mounted weapons that fire explosive blades, TransMetal Form additional strength and speed as well a third form a pontoon airplane, that can reach speeds up to 750 mph and create disorienting sonic booms. Vehicle Mode,2.Beast Mode, Airazor is not only a member of The Maximals but also has a dry wit in and out of battle and she shares an affinity for the planet Earth with Tigatron, Also Airazor considered Rhinox as an uncle figure and Cheetor as more of a sibling, Her Romantic partner and Boyfriend is The Maximal Reconnaissance Tigatron who also shares a deep bond with her, Also Airazor was abducted by the Vok and eventually returned merged with Tigatron as the Vok Emissary Tigerhawk. After Tigerhawk was destroyed the two sparks within him separated and regained their individual identities. Utilizing a blank Protoform, Airazor gained a new TransMetal Form courtesy of the Vok. This granted her additional strength and speed as well as a third form: a Pontoon airplane that can reach speeds up to 750 mph and create disorienting sonic booms.What I like about the Airazor/Terrorsaur rivalry is that birds took over the skies after the pterosaurs themselves went extinct. Airazor and Terrorsaur 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, Inferno loved destruction,pain, and ALL FOR THE COLONY!!! Tigatron symbolized Ice, and Inferno well Fire, It's also Swoop(G1 Dinobots) and Divebomb's rivalry,but reversed. Also ROTB Airazor was possibly her coolest iteration, if only we got more of her. I too remember as a Adult and a grown man at the age of 21-22 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. Also Airazor and Tigatron started out as complete opposites,yet they became two sides of the same coin. When they were combined into Tigerhawk you could still read the subtle hints of their personalities.Airazor stood out to me because she was calm, bold,loyal,and had a good sense of humor. She became an essential member of the team. Airazor made her First Appearance when she kicked the living Energon out of The Wannabe-Starscream/Terrorsaur. Also Man, I love Airazor! Her alternate Mode is the fastest flying animal on the planet, Whether it's in Comics or animation,her future looks bright to me. Airazor did shine in all the shows and movies she appeared in, even though her character is underutilized. Also Michelle Yeoh or should I say Michelle did an incredible job voicing Airazor. Poor Airazor ROTB, turned into both a monster and killer by Unicron and forced to put down by her Friends and Allies. Exact same thing happened to a maximal named Razorbeast in IDW's Beast Wars Ascending Comics. And it also fit her Armada/Energon Comic fate. Also your latest Video was magnificent, Chris keep up the great work, I too really liked what was done with was done with Airazor in WFC Kingdom, especially her interactions with Dinobot. With ROTB, I too have a feeling that she would be killed, I too liked how she was the central Maximal character in the film. It made her heroic and Honorable 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.Also 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. And at least She was able to do plenty of things there and her falcon mode was beautifully designed. Also thank you for sharing Chris keep up the good work stay safe out there and have a great day.🙂🟢🏋️🇺🇲💯🌆👍💪🦸

Great Stuff, as always!

Had the transmetal version as a kid

It be to early for this. Still excited to watch it though.

Wait, Tigerhawk is technically Airazor and Tigatron’s child? Add that to my list of “underused concepts that really need to be explored more in new TF fiction”. Also, if I had a nickel for every time Airazor was turned evil by Unicron, I’d have two nickels. It isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that its happened twice. Same goes for having references to obscure parts of Armada in ROTB (Airazor being corrupted and Unicron’s balls).

Alway enjoyed how IDW used certain characters in their comics

My Queen!

Kingdom Airazor is such a great toy. Easily one of the best of that line

This Is Amazing Dude

Another great video! I'd love a video talking about the basics on Shokaract

Its neat that the voice actress for Airazor was also the snake character from Mummies Alive cartoon.

Fantastic video review!👍👍👍The best Air Razor I like is her trans metal form!

I just bought her toy from the ROTB toyline and I am obsessed. She’s one of my favourite

Reminder that the name of The New Hotness, "Windblade", is just "Airazor" put through a thesaurus.

Imma say it....Airrazor has Become the First Femboy Transformer in the Legends Manga

Quite early but the basics are more important than sleep

honestly i loved airrazor as a kid and the fact she dies in the new movie... made my inner child cry for a week when i first found out ... which for context was over a week ago

At some point we need a tarantulas basics

Tigerhawk is the offspring of Tigatron and Airazor. Change my mind.

One of my all time favorites!!!! BW Airazor!

Can you make a video about the concept of Transformers eating food/drinking beverages (like Energex)?

As I said before DO. THE. TECHNORGANICS!!!!!!

Now there is only one Season 1 character left to discuss: Tarantulus! What do you say, Chris McFeely?

R.I.P. Pauline Newstone, The Voice Actress of Airazor from Beast Wars

I always seen her and rhinox as a surrogate father figure. And mother to tigerhawk.

Hope Airazor gets revived. If bumblebee can get revived so can she.

A very good review! She is one of my favorite maximals next to rhinox!

We're getting a new Tigertron figure in the Transformers line next year. Will never replace the original figure for me. But I am happy!

Airazors scenes are crushing in ROTB

I have the kingdom one! But Rise of the beasts on looks very good!!

Nice a new video on transformers rise of the beast

Remember our home primal no matter the cause🦅

Not being a beast wars fan I'd not heard of this one at all. Vaguely thought it may be a predacon but mainly clicked to hear your pronunciation of 'airazor'. You did not disappoint. Good times

Довольно интересное видео я большой поклонник этой вселенной и приятно узнавать о чем раньше не догадывался

It'd be so cool to see a basics on magmatron

Big fan of AR. Air Razor fo life!

I’m all for the OG Airazor

yay

Now next is the giant autobot transporter STRATOSPHERE

AIrazor was amazing in the movie 🦅🦅🦅💚💚💚🤩🤩🤩🌟🌟🌟

A fun fact from the show being that Dinobot and Airazor never met onscreen. Because of the haphazard Beast Wars was initially aired in the UK. The first time I saw Airazor was in Season 2. Suffice to say, she didn't hang around in that season. But at least she and Tigatron got an upgrade into Tigerhawk. Albeit a brief upgrade.

She is a mix between Arcee and Powerglide to me Airazor and Tigatron are The Beast Wars Version of Arcee and Springer.

My girl!!!

Yes Airazor

Yeah. It was weird we never saw her robot mode in the movie

I already watched this movie early só Ok, I Love more the og and 2023❤ airazor
