| '''Grizzly-1''' (グリズリー1 ''Gurizurī-1'')? '''Barbearian''' (バーベリアン ''Bāberian'')? Who cares? Grizzly-1 is an established legend in the [[Beast Wars (event)|Beast Wars]]. During a mission to the Arctic region of [[Earth]], the up-and-coming Maximal went missing. After some time, Barbearian was able to break free from his icy prison.

| | |
| In battle, he is able to use a self-produced toxin that causes agitation and confusion, increasing his aggressiveness ten-fold. Usage of the toxin is governed by whether Grizzly-1 uses his mutant head. Even his faithful bat partner, [[Nightshriek]], stays out of his way in this state!

| : A [[redeco]] of [[Polar Claw]] exclusive to [[BotCon Japan 1998]], Grizzerian transforms into a godless killing machine. Rearing him up on his hind legs in beast mode exposes a pair of nasty-looking fangs. His left beast-mode foreleg has a spring-loaded attack claw, while his right launches from the shoulder stub and transforms into his bat-partner, [[Nightshriek]]. His robot head has a face on both sides: a normal robot-mode one ("Grizzly-1"), and a "mutant" face (the toxin-inducing "Barbearian"). Only 600 pieces were made.

| | |
| : This mold was also used to make [[Survive]].

| [[Image:BW-MegaPromo.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Collect all the nonexistent toys!]]
| |
| * Barbearizzly-1 was actually the "prototype" for Polar Claw. The first solicitations for the ''Beast Wars'' Megas featured the bear mold in brown and yellow (as well as a differently colored [[Scorponok (BW)|Scorponok]]). The back of the first ''Beast Wars'' catalog from the [[Optimus Primal/toys|Optimus Primal]]/[[Megatron (BW)/toys|Megatron]] two-pack called him "Grizzly-1", while solicitations sent to magazines used "Barbearian".
| |
| | |
| * As such, according to [[Fumihiko Akiyama]], BCJ98's organizer, the name "Barbearian" was only ever supposed to appear as a pun in his English-language bio, with the toy's name being "Grizzly-1". However, the boxes came back labelled "Barbearerian" {{sic}}, even though his bio card uses "Grizzly-1".
