Title:
Airazor 1st
Description:
Airazor (Basic Class, 1997)
Takara ID number: C-10
Accessories: Photon cannon
Part of the first wave of Hasbro’s second-year Beast Wars Basics, Airazor transforms into a somewhat generic falcon (or some other bird of prey) with opening beak. Unlike first-year Basics, Airazor’s transformation is entirely manual rather than spring-loaded, and therefore a bit more complex. Pulling on the yellow-plastic feathers near her tail activates a spring-loaded wing-movement gimmick. Each wing also has a flip-out blade, giving her a pincer-attack when used with the wing flappy-flappy. Her tail hides both a heat-sensitive "energon chip” and a non-firing blaster that can be hand-held or mounted on the underside of either forearm.
There is an exceedingly minor retooling variant of this toy, where later releases added small grooves to the inside of the falcon-mode head, allowing for easier installation of the lower beak.
The Takara release of the toy in January 1998 is seemingly identical to the Hasbro release, except (of course) for packaging.
