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.

Sharp Edge had once been a nucleon addict before finding Primus. Sunstorm and his aides at the First Church of Primus in Dodecahex helped the poor Maximal kick his addictions, and Sharp Edge became a devout member of the congregation for years to come. He could be a violent hard-liner at times when it came to carrying the word of Primus to others, but Sunstorm helped him quell these urges more often than not.

When the Vehicon Apocalypse came to Dodecahex, Sharp Edge and many other followers hid in the Church from their attackers. Sunstorm ushered his flock into the underground tunnels where they could flee from the Vehicons. Derailment

Part of the third wave of Beast Wars Neo products in the Japanese Beast Wars toyline, Sharp Edge is a retool of Beast Wars Deluxe Class Cybershark, transforming into an organic [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}sawshark|{{#if:||sawshark}}]].

In robot mode his shark head becomes his "Adamantine Sword" and can be held in his hand. In this mode, his sword or any of his shark-headed missiles (which store in his back) can fire from his chest via a spring-loaded missile launcher. His tail also becomes a hand-held claw weapon, called the "Adamantine Tail". In the cartoon, both of his primary weapons are shown to be held in one hand as a single weapon—something that the toy isn't fully capable of recreating due to the fists not being deep enough for both weapons to plug into either side, as well as the shell parts colliding with one another.
