Anti-thermal cannon

"Pfft, there's no such thing as a "freeze ray". What, you mean a Cone of Coldness?"
"Yeah, uh, that."

Honorable warrior? Cackling nutjob? Guy who, uh, growls a lot? Well, whatever the hell Carnivac is, he carries an anti-thermal cannon. It slows down molecular motion, freezing its targets.

Fiction

Marvel The Transformers comics

While pursuing the humans Cliff Dietz and Spike Witwicky through a ski resort, Snarler fired an explosive shell at them, but missed. Carnivac then fired a "freeze beam" at them, but it was blocked by a tree. The Man in the Machine!

Dreamwave Generation One continuity

Carnivac was armed an anti-thermal cannon with infrared targeting that slowed down its targets' molecular activity, freezing them to the spot. Defensor's More than Meets the Eye profile
