'''Sharp Edge''' (シャープエッジ ''Shāpu Ejji'') is not unlike the ocean waves where he makes his home. He can be calm, serene and quite pensive on the surface, but at any given moment he can erupt into a tidal wave of sheer destructive force. A creature of honor who prides his position as a soldier, he believes fighting to be his one true purpose in life. Though a dedicated Maximal, the threat of peace always looms over his head, as he fears that, once there's no more need for soldiers, he will simply cease to exist.

This article is about the Beast Wars Neo Maximal. For the Operation Combination Decepticon, see Sharpedge{{#switch:{{#sub:Sharpedge|-1}} != .= ?= .

}}

Sharp Edge is a Maximal nutcase from the Beast Wars Neo portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
We're pretty sure he and Roadbuster would make good friends.

Sharp Edge (シャープエッジ Shāpu Ejji) is not unlike the ocean waves where he makes his home. He can be calm, serene and quite pensive on the surface, but at any given moment he can erupt into a tidal wave of sheer destructive force. A creature of honor who prides his position as a soldier, he believes fighting to be his one true purpose in life. Though a dedicated Maximal, the threat of peace always looms over his head, as he fears that, once there's no more need for soldiers, he will simply cease to exist.
