BEAST
WARS: TOY REVIEW
Name: TERRORZAURER (a.k.a. Terrorsaur)
Allegiance: Destron
Function: Aerial Combatant
Beast Mode: Pteranodon
Average Price: 750 JPY
BEAST MODE
Length: 12.5 cm
The major drawback with this mode is that the robot legs
are painfully visible on the underside. Other than
that, it's a fairly decent figure for a basic size. The overall shape is
fairly sleek with some scale and leatherlike features moulded throughout.
The jaw has a hinge allowing the mouth to open and shut. The toy is almost
entirely red with several green, black and greena accents throughout. The
teeth inside the mouth are white.
TRANSFORMATION TO ROBOT MODE
Exceedlingly complex... grab the beak and flip it up... then
watch everything else flip into place automatically. After that, flip the
feet over to expose robot fists. Just behind the robot head is a small
cavity which contains Terrorzaurer's pistol. Take it out, unfold it and
place it inside his fist. I think it's a rather neat idea to have a compartment
for the gun in beast mode.
ROBOT MODE
Height: 10 cm
A very, very nice looking robot mode. In my opinion,
the best looking of the general basic figures. Coupled with 13 points of
articulation, Terrorzaurer not only looks good, but is fun to play with
too! The toy is red and black. The head and hands are purple. The face
is white with green eyes. The lower legs also have purple accents.
RUB STICKER LOCATION
Like all of the initial Beast Wars figures, Terrorzaurer
has no stickers.
OVERALL
Looks great and is fun to play with! Two thumbs up.
BEAST TRIVIA
Pteranodon was a flying lizard, not a dinosaur, but it must have been an
impressive sight to behold. This light-boned animal had a wing span of
7 metres, about the width of a house! Discovered in Wyoming around 1876,
Pteranodon had joints and muscles that allowed it to flap its wings to
gain altitude and stay aloft for long periods of time. Despite its amazing
wing span, the body might have weighed as little as 17kg, about the same
weight as a human toddler!
