According to the Beast Wars show bible written by Bob Forward and Larry DiTillio Terrorsaur's weapons include Missile Launchers (Wing Mounted), Plasma Rifle (hand-held) and Heat Beam (Eyes).

and Terrorsaur stole a ship, Megatron, Dinobot
and Scorponok
stole the Golden Disk
artifact, battling the guards and destroying one, disabling a second, and leaving a third to commandeer a ship to pursue them. Picked up by their ship, they fled and were pursued by two ships - one of which was the Axalon
commanded by Optimus Primal
, the other the Chromia 10. With a little help from Laserbeak
and Buzzsaw (secretly sent by Divebomb to ensure Megatron's plan to change history succeeded) they destroyed one of their pursuers, and the newly christened Darkside fled into Transwarp space, with the Axalon in pursuit - thus beginning the Beast Wars. It is interesting to note that even here Terrorsaur still began some of his sentences with his characteristic "Raawk". Art sketches by artist Marcelo Matere in the latter section of the comic indicate his pre-Earth mode was that of a fighter jet.
and, in later episodes Inferno
. However, Terrorsaur's true ambitions were never far from the surface. To this end, Terrosaur challenged Megatron several times, vying for leadership
, and, true to Starscream's legacy, he always lost.
Terrorsaur's treachery isn't really seen until the episode Equal Measures when he made an 'false alliance' with Dinobot
until the former Predacon literally flushed him out of the base. In the episode Power Surge Terrorsaur found a large quantity of energon, and used it to augment his power and finally defeat Megatron ("The Energon's been absorbed directly into my super-structure... I... I've never felt such power! I'm Invincible!") However, the Maximals destroyed the mountain and Megatron was rebuilt by Scorponok
, ensuring Terrorsaur's reign was short-lived. However, Megatron kept him in service despite knowledge of Terrorsaur's treachery because of the limited number of troops under his command. Terrorsaur would also team up with a reprogrammed Rhinox
to take over, although Rhinox
soon double crossed him. A fed up Megatron did teach him a lesson by forcibly launching him over the horizon at one point. He would soon make another attempt, allying with Rattrap (undercover from the Maximals
to discover how the Predacons were tapping their communications) and having him disable Megatron. Megatron was soon free, but allowed Terrorsaur to lead the Predacons in an attack on the Maximals. Predictably, the attack was a disaster, putting an end to Terrorsaur's ambitions. After this, in the latter half of season one, he seemed to have abandoned his ambition to overthrow Megatron and become at least an obedient, if not loyal, soldier. He often clashed with Airazor.

. Originally Terrorsaur was supposed to survive the Transwarp explosion (and become a Transmetal in the process) instead of Waspinator

Terrorsaur had a biography printed in the Beast Wars Sourcebook by IDW Publishing
.
comic book series in his original form as one of the Transformers kidnapped by Unicron
. No Terrorsaur toy was released in the Transformers: Universe toy line though.
Armada comic book series, he battled against Unicron's coming, but was captured by the Chaos-Bringer himself. His beast form was explained as his being reconfigured for Earth-combat some time before his first appearance in the comics.
Armada Terrorsaur appeared as one of the Four Horsemen
of Unicron in the Transformers: Energon comic book series. His mind corrupted and his body enhanced by the Chaos-Bringer's power, Unicron and his servant sent him and his fellow Horsemen - Airazor, Rhinox
and Cheetor
- to attack Cybertron. They devastated much of the planet, before being stopped by Optimus Prime (now in his Powerlinking Energon body) who drove off all four.
Terrorsaur would appear once more before Dreamwave folded, albeit in flashback, in Transformers: Energon #30. In this flashback we would see Scorponok
leading Wheeljack
, Predacon, Terrorsaur and Skywarp
against the Autobots in an unspecified battle on Cybertron. In Megatron’s battle barge, Starscream warned Megatron to watch out for Scorponok as Thrust
, Cyclonus
and Demolishor
piloted the barge - a warning that would prove prophetic in the future.
Although it was stated in the comics that his beast mode is an adaption for combat on Earth, he appeared in beast mode in a flashback to ancient Cybertron, long before the discovery of Earth. It is possible he gained his beast mode from the Decepticon cult leader Predacon
.
Terrorsaur also was set to appear in the unreleased thirty-first issue of the Transformers: Energon comic series.
, part of the Dinobots
Mini-Con Team. This Terrorsaur seems to have little to do with either of the previous Terrorsaurs, being an Autobot who turns into a Tyrannosaurus
. He has a hissing voice. His dinosaur mode mouth spits acid. His favorite snack good is duryllium bars and he has a reputation for having bad breath.
According to his biography Terrorsaur loves violence, but he is smart enough to know that he'll get in less trouble if he aims his violence towards "bad guys."
. He destroys a nest of three nasty mutants with his fellow Dinobot Mini-Cons. After the death of Modus Prime under mysterious circumstances Terrorsaur offeres to interrogate the survivors as to what really happened, but his leader Hacksaw refuses to let him ask them questions, fearing Terrorsaur would rip them apart during questioning.
