- Studio Series Uruaz utilizes a recreated mold[2] of Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers Zaur, transforming from mini-cassette into an Apatosaurus. Two silver cannons plug into the faux cassette tape holes near his hind legs. In tape mode, he fits into the chest compartment of the original Blaster or Soundwave toys (and their retooled reincarnations). Uruaz combines with Dairu to form the legs of an unnamed combiner. His cannons become hip-mounted weapons in this form.
- It appears that the two combiner mode toes were swapped on some copies. Additionally, the paint on his legs is particularly susceptible to chipping.
- He debuted in a San Diego Comic-Con 2018 exclusive box set, alongside Dairu and a gold redeco of Bumblebee. In Taiwan, this set was available at general retail. The set later saw release without any changes in Japan as a Tokyo Comic Con 2018 exclusive.
- He was redecoed into Studio Series Bumblebee Vol. 2 Retro Pop Highway Zauru.
Notes
- "Uruaz" is a backwards spelling of the direct romanization of Zaur original Japanese name "ザウル" (Zauru). That name is wordplay on the modern Japanese version of "dinosaur".
- In that same vein, Uruaz's color scheme is a photo-negative of the original Zaur's.
