Clawtrap is a Decepticon from the Robots in Disguise portion of the Aligned continuity family.
You just activated my Clawtrap card!

If anyone is leading the ragtag crew of Scavengers, it's Clawtrap. When it comes to digging up old Cybertronian relics, Clawtrap leads by example, such as stealing Thermidor's old rusty ship. And if more persuasion is need, he's not afraid to mete out some old-fashioned violence, though a threat is usually just enough.

He'd prefer to be partnered with that high-flying Aerobolt. But since that ungrateful bird thinks he's too good for him, he'll settle for Bashbreaker. After all, if those Mini-Cons want his protection, they have to do what he says.

A COSTLY MISTAKE

Clawtrap was unhappy when Scatterspike returned empty-handed from a scavenging mission, but told her the planet still harbored great treasures. Strongarm's Big Score He dispatched Thermidor and Tricerashot to find another relic, and had to put up with Thermidor's complaining over the comm. When the pair were defeated, he forcibly hauled them back through the GroundBridge. Pretzel Logic

Clawtrap and his crew followed a signal to an automated vessel, from which they were able to retrieve the Dark Star Saber from the sea floor. Clawtrap's joy was short-lived, as the Mini-Cons abruptly stole their sub-orbital craft, and Starscream arrived through a GroundBridge to claim the sword. Starscream demanded the location of the Mini-Cons, and when Clawtrap revealed they'd already fled, Starscream sent him flying into the ocean with a swipe of the sword. Mighty Big Trouble Swearing vengeance on Starscream, Clawtrap and his crew attempted to hunt down the Mini-Cons, and indeed found them, however the Mini-Cons had teamed up with Optimus Prime and Team Bee. With the use of the relics they'd recovered, the scavengers put up a decent fight against the Autobots and trapped them in an energy net, only for Starscream to swoop in and snatch up the Mini-Cons. Mini-Con Madness Thanks to Thermidor, the Autobots escaped their net and, with some help from Tricerashot, defeated the scavengers and put them in restraints; Clawtrap and his crew were then secured by Optimus Prime aboard his ship for transport back to Cybertron and justice.
