| This article is about the human terrorist. For the Mini-Con/Autobot, see Iron Claw. |
- Iron Klaw is a human from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Count von Rani pretends to be a nice and cuddly politician, the benevolent head of state of Eastern Europe's Kalistan. In secret he's Iron Klaw, a nefarious paramilitary commander running the Soldiers of Khaos, Anarchy, and Ruin, and has connections to the Decepticons! Boo, hiss!
Fiction
Story of Binaltech
According to Agent Faireborne's investigations, Count von Rani and General Kreiger together led the Concurrence, a cabal of humans who planned to drive all Transformers away from Earth, turning the Solar System into a robot-free "resort". To accomplish this, the Concurrence began creating Decepticon Binaltechs to challenge the Autobot Binaltechs. What they would have done with the Decepticons after that is anybody's guess. Expose All of Evil's Designs!

- His co-leader in the Concurrence, General Kreiger, is the same as the civilian identity of another 1990s-era G.I. Joe villain, General Blitz. The two were tied together further by the TransTech fiction, which said that Kreiger's I.R.O.N. Army were Kalistanian baddies in WW2.
