Scarem

Scarem is a Predacon from the Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Edward Sawblade-and-Enormous Death-Claw-Hands.

Scarem is a cold, calculating Transmetal 2 beetle. He fights with an aggression and resentment borne of his tumultuous origin, making him a dangerous opponent for any Maximal.

Fiction

Toy bio

Scarem was created by Megatron as a result of the later's cloning experiments. Scarem bio

IDW Beast Wars comics

Scarem's downed stasis pod was remotely-reprogrammed at Magmatron's behest, introducing a Predacon shell program into the protoform. Something went wrong and Scarem, while now a Predacon in programming, still feels the moralistic twinges of a Maximal deep within his core. This causes him all manner of angst. Beast Wars Sourcebook 3

Magmatron came to prehistoric Earth to gather an army using the Axalon's protoforms. Scarem was among the protoforms to be successfully turned into Predacons. Magmatron ordered his forces to seek out the double-agent Razorbeast and his crew of Maximals. Within a few days, the Predacons had located the Maximal headquarters, and battle ensued. During that battle, Scarem tangled with Ramulus. The Maximals won that fight, and the surviving Predacons retreated into the wilderness. Whether Scarem was among the survivors is unknown.

• Scarem (Transmetal 2 Basic, 1999)

Scarem transforms into a Transmetal 2 stag beetle. He sports a green, orange, and chromed blue colour scheme, and his chest flips open to reveal his spark crystal. Along with fellow Transmetals 2, Tigerhawk, Optimus Minor and Sonar, Scarem has a bizarre feature where he can gain extra limbs; his robot legs can separate, making him a quadruped (as he is portrayed in his package art).
