Airazor

is a high-flying Maximal. Wise, compassionate, and selfless, she embodies the Maximals' mission of preserving life across the universe, and is willing to risk her own spark to honor that vow. Although no one has any record of seeing her transform outside of her beast mode, her fearless demeanor and willingness to swoop into the face of imminent danger helps maintain her status as a brave, dignified, and vigilant protector of her team, allies, and friends, including Elena Wallace, whom the Maximal scout had grown fond of for her great historical knowledge throughout their perilous adventure.

Airazor was among the Maximals under the command of Apelinq when Unicron arrived to devour their home and claim the Transwarp Key. She regrouped with Apelinq, Optimus Primal, Cheetor, and Rhinox as Unicron’s army invaded. Apelinq declared he would hold the line against the approaching Scourge and passed command to Primal, ordering the Maximals to flee to the stars to keep the key out of Unicron’s clutches. The Maximals were saddened by the sacrifice of their leader, but as they and others fled in a ship, Airazor affirmed that Apelinq’s sacrifice, "no matter the cost" would become their oath.

Upon arriving to Earth, the Maximals split the key into two pieces to be kept by two groups for safekeeping, with Primal leading Cheetor and Rhinox to Peru while Airazor and a few others hid elsewhere. Humanity noticed Airazor over the centuries and carved a statue in her likeness, which would hide Airazor’s half of the key. In 1994, the statue was unearthed and brought to a museum on Ellis Island in New York City. Elena Wallace quickly determined that the statue was not of any known human civilization and snuck into a lab after work to conduct her own research on it, which led to the statue crumbling to reveal the key fragment and unwittingly summon the Terrorcons. Scourge soon arrived with Battletrap and Nightbird to claim the key fragment, and though they were successful, they decided to flee when Airazor arrived to reinforce the Autobots led by Optimus Prime. In the aftermath of the fight, Airazor gave the Autobots her condolences for the loss of Bumblebee and explained the nature of the Terrorcons to Elena and Noah Diaz, and that Scourge only had half of the key thanks to the Maximals splitting it. Airazor gently asked Elena to lead them to the site of the second key fragment once she realized the young woman had deciphered clues to it.

The next day, Airazor flew to Peru alongside the Autobots and humans who rode aboard Stratosphere. She helped monitor Noah and Elena’s infiltration of the nearby city to get to the second key fragment only for the Terrorcons to attack. As the battle went poorly for the Autobots once again, Airazor used her fire breath to destroy a bridge and forcibly stopped a further duel between Prime and Scourge. However, the Terrorcon leader thought fast and successfully shot Airazor with a bit of Unicron’s dark energy, which slowly rotted her body and began to corrupt her. Airazor nonetheless arrived in time to defuse a standoff between the Autobots and her old Maximal comrades, who she was delighted to see again, but grimly reported she was all that was left of her detachment of Maximals. Elena noticed the growing corruption on her wing, but Airazor insisted she would be okay despite the corruption beginning to affect her mind. After the group made camp as a human village allied with Primal, Airazor spoke to him privately. Primal admitted that Prime wasn’t who he expected, but Airazor pointed out that they both had lost so much, and that Primal likely would act the same if he had another chance to save their planet from Unicron.

By morning, unfortunately, Airazor finally succumbed to Scourge’s corruption and attacked the humans. She kidnapped Elena in order to deliver the last key fragment to Scourge, who then set her after her comrades. Airazor violently engaged Primal, who was able to use his bulk and strength to grab her in a crushing embrace. Though Primal was distressed at what needed to be done, Airazor assured him it was okay and ordered him to do it. Primal reluctantly complied, crushing Airazor to death and finally giving her peace again. As the others arrived, and Cheetor and Rhinox grieved the loss of their friend, Primal morosely stood over his friend’s corpse, resolutely repeating their oath, "no matter the cost." Airazor would later be avenged when Prime defeated Scourge in battle, and prevented Unicron from claiming another world and with it the Transwarp key.
