Survive

Survive is a Maximal from the Beast Wars Neo portion of the Generation 1 continuity family's Beast Era.

As long as I know how to love, I'll always be alive.

Survive is almost the polar opposite of Big Convoy. He believes that the only way to achieve victory is to do so as a team. He despises solo actions and has a very unpleasant impression of Big Convoy, who prefers to do just that. Survive desperately wants to have Big Convoy placed under his leadership and retrained as a team-player. The opportunity for this has yet to arise.

His buddy drone is True One, a reconnaissance scout who can communicate wordlessly with Survive using a special sound wave. They have a good relationship, but sometimes fight over honey.

• Survive (Mega, 2000)
  • Japanese ID number: C-39

A redeco of Polar Claw, Survive 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 True One, who can also be used as a hand-held blaster. Survive's robot head has a face on both sides; a normal robot-mode one, and a "mutant" face.

This mold was also used to make Grizzly-1/Barbearian.
