    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.

    • @ChrisMcFeely
      @ChrisMcFeely  Год назад +34

      Narratively, the answer's clear: because the movie presents her as sacrificing herself. Airazor's role in the film is to embody its theme of co-operation, to be the character calling for humans, Autobots, and Maximals to work together, and it's not until she makes the ultimate sacrifice - urging Primal to destroy her, reminding him of the extremes of the Maximals' oath, "no matter the cost" - that they do. It's a choice she makes, and resurrecting her would undercut that.

      @@ChrisMcFeely I agree on the narrative motivation, but looking a it overall, it's still killing off 25% of the Maximals you've just introduced as being active (20% if you count Apelinq). And it feels less like her sacrifice than putting Primal in a position where HE has to commit a mercy killing.
      And the magical resurrection of the pointlessly killed Bumblebee particularly undesells the intent. Having Airrazor pull a "phoenix rising" moment courtesy of the Maximal#s energon deposits might have worked too.

    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'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.

    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.

    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.🙂🟢🏋️🇺🇲💯🌆👍💪🦸

    I hate seeing Transformers that don’t convert in movies - just stuck in their vehicle form with name saying they are Transformers is lazy in it of itself, but it’s another when we don’t get to see their [In Airazor’s case, humanoid] robot form and what they’re capable of combat-wise.
    It’s like a basic Pokémon that doesn’t evolve - pointless.

    The maximals are barely in the movie. Airazor is the one we spent the most time with, and she do not transform.... I would have made her go crazy dangerous with that dark energon poisoning. Turning in battle mode and have them fight a bit. Then after some chaos and destruction, she ask to be put down after they all tryed so hard. That at least, would have been a great end.
