Know that my name is...wait, never mind.

Buzzclaw is a savage Fuzor warrior, but never lets his ferocity get the better of him. He's supremely confident in his abilities, but doesn't feel the need to brag about it. He sees no need for the boasting and bravado of his comrades - he's content to let his venomous mandibles and deadly ion disks speak for themselves.

Fiction

IDW Beast Wars comics

Buzzclaw was among the protoforms remotely reprogrammed into Predacons by Magmatron. He was assigned to join Iguanus, Lazorbeak, Sky Shadow, and Jetstorm in hunting Razorbeast's Maximals. When Sky Shadow discovered the fugitive Maximals, Buzzclaw was among the Predacons who participated in the battle that ensued, where he tangled with Noctorro. After Magmatron was defeated, Buzzclaw presumably retreated with the rest of his comrades.

Toys

Beast Wars

  • Buzzclaw (Basic Fuzor, 1998)
Buzzclaw is a green, orange, and pink lizard-mantis Fuzor. His beast-mode foreclaws and wing-assembly can be used as a hand-held melee weapon, and his tail can be mounted on his arm as a shield.
He was later redecoed to make Universe Repugnus and Timelines Buzzclaw, Dirge, and the Virulent Clones.

Notes

  • Buzzclaw's toy bio states that he uses "ion discs", suggesting that he is Manterror reborn as a Fuzor. Either way, Manterror and Buzzclaw appear side-by-side in the IDW comics.
