Honestly, I love them all. It's a great mold and I have every variant that I'm aware of, but hands down for me, the Armada version is the coolest, only because she looks sooo eeeevil :twisted:

in those colors. It's really striking.

I could never pick just one though. I'm a Beast Wars variants freak, especially when it comes to the Transmetals/Metals line. You should see my Beast Wars 'Dinobots' collection. I've got all of them, including the ones from Armada, Universe, and Beast Machines.

I'm obsessed, I need help. I have like 6 versions of Transmetal Rhinox and too many Transmetal Rattraps to count. Maybe someday I'll share some pics of my collection so you can see how truly obsessive and disturbed I am

.

But yeah, seriously, Armada. That dark purple/gray and the bright blood red with the little splashes bright blue just look amazing.

I concur.

Plus, the little minicon is pretty decent. I'm not sure if this is a common thing, but my Armada Airrazor is mis-assembled. The left shoulder panel with the ball joint is assembled backwards, so it can't fold in like it should. (and as a result can't transform!)

I would agree the Armada version has the best colors. The only thing I dont like is that bright blue on her. I kind of wish they would have toned it down just a bit on her face. :MAXIMAL:

I also used a Transmetal Airazor for a kitbash/custom Deluxe size Terrorsaur. It doesn't transform into beast mode, but it looks pretty cool standing with my other season 1 Predacons.

I can't decide. :-(

The Armada I guess.

Hehe, I can't blame you, it's a great mold and all of them look really good. Fear not, it's a common mold to come by and usually isn't too expensive, so even if you decide you want more than one version, it shouldn't cost you too much. There are 4 variants total:

Transmetal Airazor
Metals Airazor (she's pictured below on the same page)
Fox Kids Transmetal Airazor
Armada Airazor

Armada Airazor looks pretty spiffy next to Armada Cheetor since they share the darker color schemes.

Seibertron sponsor Toyarena has the Japanese Takara Metals Airazor for $25+shipping right now and if you check ebay, I'm sure you can find any version of her that you want for a relatively cheap price.

It's a great mold in my opinion so I think you'll be happy with any version you decide to get.

I think I picked up Armada Airrazor (complete), Terrorsaur (complete), and Classics Starscream (sans Null Rays) for around $14 shipped on ebay. I'd say your chances of getting a good price is pretty high.
