Claw Jaw is a Maximal who turns into a squid. He drains his victim's powers by extracting energon from their bodies through his suction-cup arms.

[edit] Animated series

Clawjaw's stasis pod was presumably among those who were launched into orbit around prehistoric Earth in the Beast Wars series pilot.

[edit] IDW Publishing

Claw Jaw appeared in the 2006 IDW Beast Wars comic series. In the comic he was among the Maximal protoforms from the Axalon.

Originally his protoform was recovered by Magmatron's Predacons and infected with a Predacon shell program. Unbeknownst to Magmatron, his technical expert Razorbeast was a Maximal double-agent and had managed to modify the program so a significant number of those infected emerged as Maximals. Claw Jaw first found Cybershark after his activation and the two made their way to join Razorbeast.

After the defeat of Magmatron's Predacons the united group of Maximals awaited rescue from Cybertron.
