*See this is why I love making these. I totally missed the beak opens despite owning the figure for 7 months. and now I have even more reason to love this figure!*
I just have to thank you you basically showed me everything about stop motion in your tutorial videos and now one of my videos got 20K views I just have to thank you for helping me get to this milestone
Airazor is so freaking beautiful. I feel like her toy got made so wonderfully to make up for how neglected she was in the original show and in following media. This sweet gal deserves just as much presence as Blackarachnia.
I love how you animated this figure. Really brought the animal to life. My only slight criticism would be if you made her do that odd tilty head thing birds do when they're looking at something. Then it'd be god-tier
I did a few other animations I didn't include in this video as they didn't really jive with the review. Though I can't remember of i did the head tilt. Regrettably i was unaware of the beak opening amd wish i could've had that in. I'll upload the full video as i filmed all the animations during a night where i was just filning for the heck of it (thus why the transformation isn't filmed with the bird flying away)
I wasn't ready for Metroid references, but they are definitely appreciated. Hopefully, I'm not repeating something you already know, but where you say her "shins" break - those are bird ankles.
The Metroid references made my morning! As a huge fan of Metroid, Transformers, and your channel, I was overjoyed to see them. Now I kinda want to see Terrorsaur repainted into Ridley, lmao.
Samus actually has a page on the Transformers Wiki (I think the reasoning is she made a background cameo in one of the comics) and on that page it makes a joke that one of the versions of Terrorsaur (I believe the Transmetal one) looks like Ridley.
I can report that the wingtab can break. It happened to my first Airazor when I didn't read the instructions and just transformed it any ol way. Second time around, I followed the instructions and no breakage. I have a few repaint ideas but will wait until she is on clearance. Included but not limited to: Deep blue - Blue Falcon Light blue - Arzon from Visionaries Silver - Silverhawk Gold - Horus from Egyptian mythology
Aside from repaints, her mold has potential for remolding similar to Terrorsaur. I'm hoping to finally have a Bat Optimus that could also be repainted into Nyx from the IDW beast wars comic.
Wow, that’s some beautiful animation. If I was into beast wars I would get her. She looks good. I got her redeco, Maximal Skywarp as part of the Amazon 2-pack with Kingdom Sideswipe. Then promptly sold that Skywarp to justify the purchase.
I've had this figure for a while too, and it's just a phenomenal figure. The wings can break if you're not careful, but thankfully i've had no issue with it. Even with Maximal Skywarp, which is an amazing repaint/remold!
I haven't been able to get her, but I did get the Skywarp retool and maaaan, I think I've played more with him in bird mode, which says a lot when the robot mode is pretty killer as well.
Airrazor is a good mold, though I’m not a fan of the back of the head behind visible in beast mode, Terrorsaur did the best job on the mold but this is my personal opinion. Still the best beast wars deluxe to me though.
Fun fact in prehistoric times Beast Wars takes place in the bugs were massive due to more oxygen levels so the scale with the Predacons is pretty much accurate to the real world equivalents
Coming at you eight months in the future, I’ve had Kingdom Blasted for a little bit now, and I gotta say…I think it’s one of my favorite figures, certainly hope you end up giving it a look!
I never got into Beast Wars nor do I collect them. I did buy this figure after watching Transformers Kingdom and love it. I would say she is definitely my favorite female transformer.
Called it! Thanks so much for this! Airazor is a top 5 figure for me this year. Getting a good authentic bird mode is tough, but to combine it with such an elegant, accurate, and articulated robot mode is damned impressive.
I got the chance to finally pick up this figure today (at a 35% discount) and I'm quite satisfied. It's a pretty solid update that will go nicely on my shelf along with the new Primal, Ratrap, and Rexy-Megs. I think I have a special appreciation for her wings, partly because of the possibility they provide, but mostly because so much of the engineering budget seems to have gone into those that the rest of the figure was left comparatively simple. I can't really say the same for the the other two figures I purchased today, Blackarachnia and Waspinator. I'd been a little more hesitant to get these two, but since they where on sale at the same discount I figured, why not? Probably should have stuck with my original gut feeling. Both of them are fine enough to look at, but they are just so much more fiddly to actually do anything with. Too many over-designed panels that have to be flipped and swiveled, making them just sort collapse into jumbled mess. I don't think I've ever been so disappointed with a transformer on the same day I purchased it, and quite honestly it's made me all the more reluctant to go to the effort of trying to complete a revamped Beast Wars figures, which is a shame because I love these character. Seriously, for all that I can appreciate the effort that goes into trying to make new figures as screen accurate as possible, I think Hasbro maybe sometimes forgets to also make them fun TOYS to actually play with.
Five star on Airrazor. She is really awesome. Plus fans got confused between Airrazor's gender in Japan Airrazor a male Maximal and American a female so yeah. Awesome toy of her.
This figure is so great. It's the whole reason I got the Sideswipe/Skywarp duo for the remold of the figure (the earth mode version of Sideswipe was just a bonus). Edit: Wow, I did not notice those tabs in the wings to lock them into robot mode on the back, thanks Lazy Eyebrow!
The figure looks good, I'd like to see you do more beast wars firgures from kingdom as you can probably come up with so much based on their on screen counterparts, like Waspinator for example
I liked this figure, then I saw a custom with the show model black colors, and OH MY GOD THAT LOOKS SO GOOD LIKE I STILL LOVE THIS THING BUT WHY DIDNT THEY DO THAT
I don't exactly know how it would work, but I believe in my heart of hearts there is a way to use this level of engineering to make a female seeker mold, which would be rad. Like just imagine a possible Slipstream.
8:33 oof ya terrorsaur doesnt look like its coming to canada anytime soon, I even tried searching tra destiny sioc-1/2 but i could only find a puffer, road ranger and jackpot- and I found it in 0 stock
Sucks that no stores around me ever had Airazor in stock. Crazy tidbit: in the Japanese dub of Beast Wars, Airazor was reinterpreted as a guy. Speaking of bar setting, let's not forget the previous(ly bad) effort that was PotP Swoop and the retool into Cutthroat. Their wings were pretty craptastic. (Can't say about PotP Divebomb, though...) Airazor - and retools Skywarp & Terrorsaur - really upped the wing game.
Was wondering if you were planning on building a scale model bullet train to add to your Astro train set up. I’m not sure if the name of the new train combiner, but when I saw there were a few companies putting them out, I immediately thought of your Astro train.
To be honest, I was thinking that the size comparison was to be with an actual falcon and how ridiculous it is way out of proportion while interviewed an Ornithologist for reference 🤓
Small comment on the figure not holding up, one of the wing hinges broke after only a few hours of me playing with it. It hasn’t fully cracked in half yet, but a clear fracture can be seen on the hinge and I basically don’t touch the figure anymore because of this.
@@TheLazyEyebrow If they do go down the whole transmetals and fusions and whatnot and actually do a good job, it's going to get hard not to let 16 or so figures through haha
They're more hawk wings than falcon wings, but I can understand why they did that. Flacon wings taper to a point at the tip, and ironically might not have looked ''natural' enough on a plastic model.
Glad I’m not the only one who thinks Rhinox in beast mode doesn’t scale well with the others I mean he’s a rhino. I get that the toy probably couldn’t do it without the robot mode being bigger than Dinobot but come on
I have two of these they're great bit my first airrazor I had something of a bad experience with as the first time I transformed her her left wing of super stressed from the wing fold and broke off after a while on the shelf as a bird
One of the wing joints on mine broke but that's because I dropped her from desk height Dx and I can't glue it back properly without permanently "locking in" the wings Lesson of the day don't drop your Airazors people, or just don't have any clutter on your desk :(
*See this is why I love making these. I totally missed the beak opens despite owning the figure for 7 months. and now I have even more reason to love this figure!*
I bet she opened her beak the second you called her "husky" XD
Dont beat yourself up about it. Its ridiculously tiny and hard to notice.
she can all so open the beak
I just have to thank you you basically showed me everything about stop motion in your tutorial videos and now one of my videos got 20K views I just have to thank you for helping me get to this milestone
I got the beak open once and never again
Love the Metroid references. Wonder how Samus would stack up against a Transformer.
3:37 - Man, that is some beautiful wing animation you've pulled off.
7:59 - As Tigatron bashfully averts his eyes...
That Raven beak reference was a 11/10, rolling off my chair and was totally not expecting that haha
Airazor is so freaking beautiful. I feel like her toy got made so wonderfully to make up for how neglected she was in the original show and in following media. This sweet gal deserves just as much presence as Blackarachnia.

You have a point
Samus actually has a page on the Transformers Wiki (I think the reasoning is she made a background cameo in one of the comics) and on that page it makes a joke that one of the versions of Terrorsaur (I believe the Transmetal one) looks like Ridley.
I have heard some people call this the best figure of Kingdom, and judging by how in-demand she is, it seems that's a common sentiment
In demand? I say not! I've seen at least a dozen copies of her figure hanging on the pegs for months now!
Love the metroid references
I can report that the wingtab can break. It happened to my first Airazor when I didn't read the instructions and just transformed it any ol way. Second time around, I followed the instructions and no breakage.
I have a few repaint ideas but will wait until she is on clearance. Included but not limited to:
Deep blue - Blue Falcon
Light blue - Arzon from Visionaries
Silver - Silverhawk
Gold - Horus from Egyptian mythology
Someone made a Phoenix.
The wing tab broke in mine too
If you made a Horus pls post a video on youtube, we need to see that!
Aside from repaints, her mold has potential for remolding similar to Terrorsaur. I'm hoping to finally have a Bat Optimus that could also be repainted into Nyx from the IDW beast wars comic.
An Airazor in Talonflame colors would also look great in addition to your paint job ideas
If Hasbro is looking for another crossover figure, they could repaint/retool Air Razor into Zoar/the Sorceress from Masters of the Universe.
That’s brilliant!
That would be brilliant, but, MOTU is owned by Mattel, so it is an unfortunately unlikely crossover :(
Loved the Metroid references and I love the fact that you’ve been enjoying Beast Wars as well.
Wow, that’s some beautiful animation. If I was into beast wars I would get her. She looks good.
I got her redeco, Maximal Skywarp as part of the Amazon 2-pack with Kingdom Sideswipe. Then promptly sold that Skywarp to justify the purchase.
hahaha I almost did the same. and now I somehow have two sideswipes and no skywarp
5:44
First Ridley made of the Fossilizers and now Raven Beak from Airrazor, we could say that "The galaxy is not longer at peace."
Oh. Lazy! Her beak also opens in bird mode!!
Best kingdom figure imo even better than dino megatron
That Metroid reference tho 🤣🤣
I've had this figure for a while too, and it's just a phenomenal figure. The wings can break if you're not careful, but thankfully i've had no issue with it. Even with Maximal Skywarp, which is an amazing repaint/remold!

3:38 OH MY GOD THAT IS SO SMOOTH I LOVE IT
I got the Skywarp and sideswipe 2 pack and ended up liking Skywarp more, such a good mold
im really impressed by how many of these youre able to crank out in such a short time
That's the power of Diet December haha
Airrazor is a good mold, though I’m not a fan of the back of the head behind visible in beast mode, Terrorsaur did the best job on the mold but this is my personal opinion. Still the best beast wars deluxe to me though.
Your reviews are awesome. The beak can open & close as well
Fantastic review The Lazy Eyebrow!!!!!! Airazor has arguably the best bird mode of any Transformers figure. Keep on being amazing.
This review's finally sold me on getting Air Razor.
Fun fact in prehistoric times Beast Wars takes place in the bugs were massive due to more oxygen levels so the scale with the Predacons is pretty much accurate to the real world equivalents
I don’t think they WERE that big tho lol, I mean how terrifying is a man sized spider and scorpion
@@harpybeagle4931 pill bugs would be the size of a human leg
@@decepticonleadermegatron5239 nightmare fuel lol
the fact the beak opens is something
Coming at you eight months in the future, I’ve had Kingdom Blasted for a little bit now, and I gotta say…I think it’s one of my favorite figures, certainly hope you end up giving it a look!
I enjoy these diet reviews but the only thing i miss is the skits 🤣
I never got into Beast Wars nor do I collect them. I did buy this figure after watching Transformers Kingdom and love it. I would say she is definitely my favorite female transformer.
Called it! Thanks so much for this! Airazor is a top 5 figure for me this year. Getting a good authentic bird mode is tough, but to combine it with such an elegant, accurate, and articulated robot mode is damned impressive.
Awesome review, one of your best. She's my favorite Beast Wars character, and I think she was underused. Glad she got to shine in Kingdom.

I’m getting earth rise Optimus on Christmas and I’m excited
Five star on Airrazor. She is really awesome.
Plus fans got confused between Airrazor's gender in Japan Airrazor a male Maximal and American a female so yeah. Awesome toy of her.
you missed my favourite part of her! the beak is actually articulated!
i totally did
You did another review just two days ago dude, you’re on a roll mate, good job
the power of Diet December
Yeah like Samus in morph ball
Well, way back then insects and arachnids where way bigger so that could work, also I think you forgot to mention that her beak can open in bird mode
Also in the beast wars cartoon the beast modes for the insects were large, cheetor even knew waspinator was a predacon based in how large he was
@@CayeDaws I never watched beast wars
This figure is so great. It's the whole reason I got the Sideswipe/Skywarp duo for the remold of the figure (the earth mode version of Sideswipe was just a bonus).
Edit: Wow, I did not notice those tabs in the wings to lock them into robot mode on the back, thanks Lazy Eyebrow!
The figure looks good, I'd like to see you do more beast wars firgures from kingdom as you can probably come up with so much based on their on screen counterparts, like Waspinator for example
Frequent Lazy Eyebrow reviews! Awesome
I liked this figure, then I saw a custom with the show model black colors, and OH MY GOD THAT LOOKS SO GOOD LIKE I STILL LOVE THIS THING BUT WHY DIDNT THEY DO THAT
Airazor is by far one of, if not the best figure I've bought from all the lines of wfc.
I don't exactly know how it would work, but I believe in my heart of hearts there is a way to use this level of engineering to make a female seeker mold, which would be rad. Like just imagine a possible Slipstream.
Anatomically speaking, the "backward joint" in the bird's leg is its ankle.
I already own the BW Skywarp version of this mold but I think this video just sold me the Air Razor version as well.
I can’t get over a bird with guns on it that sounds like a mobile game
All those swivels jobby would creamed himself 😂
I love her so much. She's gotta he one of my favorites from the WFC trilogy
8:33 oof ya terrorsaur doesnt look like its coming to canada anytime soon, I even tried searching tra destiny sioc-1/2 but i could only find a puffer, road ranger and jackpot- and I found it in 0 stock
It never once showed up on Amazon.ca
By the time i got tired of waiting for it to do that, it was sold out on Amazon US and Pulse
Great review, can’t wait to get it
I got to get this one, I haven't buy hasbro transformers for years but I got to get this.
Damn, I might have to put Airrazor on my list now.
🤣 Airazor acquired!!
Heres to hoping hasbro will put out kingdom versions of the evolved megatron, cheetro, etc etc
Outstanding review of an excellent figure, and that was some AMAZING flapping animation, mate! Go get yourself some laurels, so you can rest on them!
Airrazor also is able to open her beak in falcon mode.
Sucks that no stores around me ever had Airazor in stock. Crazy tidbit: in the Japanese dub of Beast Wars, Airazor was reinterpreted as a guy.

Haha I just finished episode 15 (The Spark) of Beast Wars then I stumbled upon this review.
Was wondering if you were planning on building a scale model bullet train to add to your Astro train set up. I’m not sure if the name of the new train combiner, but when I saw there were a few companies putting them out, I immediately thought of your Astro train.
Well, i definitely pre-ordered one
Oh my god!
I also having this Airazor figure!
And this figure is so awesome!!
She does look quite nice indeed
Air razor looks like a different person when you fold the shoulder pads down
I wish that I found this figure but the skywarp repaint is just as good
do you have the skywarp version? (also is our PCP for BT deal still a go?)
Yah the deals still going on and yah I got the set on sale for the sideswipe but I like the skywarp more
I hope these reviews on a diet is going well
You had me floored with the Metroid reference...LOLZ
Also, Hasbro needs to give us a R.E.D NightBird..
Woah, 2 videos in a week
To be honest, I was thinking that the size comparison was to be with an actual falcon and how ridiculous it is way out of proportion while interviewed an Ornithologist for reference 🤓
Airazor’s jaw can open and close
Small comment on the figure not holding up, one of the wing hinges broke after only a few hours of me playing with it. It hasn’t fully cracked in half yet, but a clear fracture can be seen on the hinge and I basically don’t touch the figure anymore because of this.
Okay, I should've gotten this figure. Maybe I should order it while it's still kind of around. I was afraid of falling in the Beast Wars rabbit hole.
I certainly have. Thankfully it's only like 16 figures instead of 50-60 haha
@@TheLazyEyebrow If they do go down the whole transmetals and fusions and whatnot and actually do a good job, it's going to get hard not to let 16 or so figures through haha
The beak can also open and close
This figure will make you believe that a Maximal can really fly
They're more hawk wings than falcon wings, but I can understand why they did that. Flacon wings taper to a point at the tip, and ironically might not have looked ''natural' enough on a plastic model.
I can literally see Air Razor dancing to Surfin Bird by The Trashmen sung by Peter Griffin
Glad I’m not the only one who thinks Rhinox in beast mode doesn’t scale well with the others
I mean he’s a rhino. I get that the toy probably couldn’t do it without the robot mode being bigger than Dinobot but come on
Just starting the video: be careful the wig she can break
I miss those skits that you do
Did you also miss that i skipped he skitsonly for this month and will be returning in January?
ayo ps the birds mouth can indeed open
Wow! This pace is incredible Lazy!
that's the power of Diet December haha
Good bird
Like and a sub for Metroid references alone!
Ah, you’re not just a car nerd, I see. You’re a bird nerd as well.
Best bird nerd in the herd
8:40 in a word Prime
The wing I meant sorry old iPad sucks
I have two of these they're great bit my first airrazor I had something of a bad experience with as the first time I transformed her her left wing of super stressed from the wing fold and broke off after a while on the shelf as a bird
1:31 didn't knew you were a bird expert :v
Google is awesome
My wigs broke, and a LOT of people have said the same.
oh for real? i hadn't heard anything, but i totally believe it
I just really hope that both this and rhinox are released in show accurate colors.
And show us a video of your collection
These videos are getting better and better!
Did you discover her egg laying feature yet?
evidently not, what is this foreign power you speak of?
Hey Lazy, I know this is a bit much, but could u plz animate Air Razor dancing to Surfin’ Bird by The Trashmen???
Any chance at a review of kingdom megs?
high chances
Noice
The Metroid Dread references were awesome!
One of the wing joints on mine broke but that's because I dropped her from desk height Dx and I can't glue it back properly without permanently "locking in" the wings
Lesson of the day don't drop your Airazors people, or just don't have any clutter on your desk :(
I mean, I know you're really good at stopmotion, but damn, that wing-flapping right at the beginning was just beautiful
Yeah, his Foley work is top notch.
Thanks! 😁
