- Claw Jaw is a Maximal from the Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Like Tigatron before him, when Claw Jaw first emerged from his stasis pod his beast instincts overwhelmed his Cybertronian personality. Though eventually restored to himself, his squid instincts still form a huge portion of his psychology, motivating much of the way he acts, fights, and hunts. He even keeps an undersea lair in the deepest and coldest part of Earth's seas. Claw Jaw gives a lot of attention to protecting it when Predacons stray too near. It is a job for which he is well suited: The suckers on his eight arms can drain the energon right out of a robot and into Claw Jaw. Combine that with a crushing grip, razor-sharp fangs, and robotic claw weapon, and few Predacons escape to inform on the refuge he so fiercely protects.
Claw Jaw is a rather simple bot without great endurance, firepower, or intelligence, but he makes up for that with courage and impressive undersea speed, even if his ingrained "squiddy-ness" sometimes weirds out his fellow Maximals.

Claw Jaw was one of the protoforms left behind by the crew of the Axalon on prehistoric Earth. He was activated and put in chronal phase by Razorbeast at Magmatron's request, but was protected from Magmatron's Predacon shell-program by Razorbeast's viral code.
Accompanied by Cybershark, Claw Jaw sped towards Razorbeast and the small group of new Maximals accompanying him. He and a phalanx of other Maximals finally reached them, just in time to fight off an army of Predacons. In the subsequent battle, Claw Jaw used his tentacles to ensnare Scourge. The Gathering

Toys
Beast Wars
- Claw Jaw (Basic, 1997)
- Accessories: Claw-blade
- Part of the first wave of second-year Beast Wars Basics, Claw Jaw transforms into a maroon and orange squid. Pushing a trigger on his back opens his beast-mode jaws. This also works in robot mode, where his mandibles are mounted on his chest. The small removable double-blade on the plunger can be held in his... uh... sucker on his robot mode arms/tentacles.
- Claw Jaw (Basic w/ video, 1998)
- Accessories: Claw-blade
- A redecoed green and blue Claw Jaw was sold with a video in the European market. Despite the lack of a third, vehicular mode, this version of Claw Jaw was still sold as a Transmetal.
