Razorclaw (Universe)
| The name or term "Razorclaw" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Razorclaw (disambiguation). |
- Razorclaw is a Minion of Unicron from the Universe conflict.
Know that he is Razorclaw, that his reality is not yours, and while he may resemble Tigerhawk, Razorclaw is not he! This alternate version of Tigerhawk was corrupted by the Vok, and he killed his universe's Megatron. When Unicron abducted him from the multiverse, the Dark God gained a general who commands the full spectrum of the Vok's elemental powers. Razorclaw oversees the Cauldron, which is an arena deep inside Unicron where time-tossed combatants from across the multiverse fight. He harbors a special hatred for Optimus Primal, his former commander.
His spark is binary -- it consists of the Sparks of an alternate universe's Airazor and Tigatron. Time will tell if their noble influence can push to the surface.
Fiction
Universe
A group of Maximals and Autobots are abducted from Cybertron into the belly of Unicron. They are marched into the Cauldron and paraded in front of Razorclaw and his lieutenants Reptilion and Obsidian. Razorclaw explains who he is and locks the Autobots and Maximals away, telling them to prepare for battle.
While Sideswipe and Sunstreaker are forced to battle in the arena, Optimus Primal breaks in and fights Razorclaw. Mistaken for Tigerhawk at first, Razorclaw soon clarifies who he really is. However, Razorclaw's Vok-powered attacks are mere fuel for Primal's body, and Razorclaw is temporarily subdued. All of the prisoners contained within the Cauldron are released, and though Razorclaw and his lieutenants pursue them, Primal leads nearly all of them to safety. Only Blackarachnia and Shadow Striker stay behind, seduced by Unicron's influence.
Fun Publications Cybertron comics
