Claw Jaw
Claw Jaw is a Maximal from the Beast Wars era.
Claw Jaw keeps an undersea lair in the deepest and coldest part of Earth's seas. He seems primarily concernered with protecting it when Predacons stray too near. It is a job he is well suited to: The suckers on his eight arms can drain the energon right out of a robot and into Claw Jaw. Combine that with a crushing grip, razorsharp fangs, and robotic claw weapon and few Predacons escape to inform on the refuge he so fiercely protects. Claw Jaw is a rather simple bot without great endurance, firepower, or intelligence but he somewhat makes up for that with courage and impressive undersea speed.
Spanish name: Atrapador

Fiction
IDW Beast Wars Comics
Claw Jaw was one of the protoforms left behind by the crew of the Axalon on prehistoric Earth. He was activated and put in chronal phase by Razorbeast at Magmatron's request, but was protected from Magmatron's Predacon shell-program by a viral code Razorbeast inserted.
He is first seen swiming through a narrow strait with fellow sea-bound Maximal Cybershark.
Toys
Beast Wars
- Claw Jaw
- Transforms into a "giant" squid. Pushing a trigger on his back opens his beast-mode jaws; this also works in robot mode.
- "Transmetal" Claw Jaw
- A redeco Claw Jaw that was sold with a video in the European market, which is just the normal toy with a metalic paint job, obviously lacking the vehicle mode of the actual Transmetal toys.
The same mold is used by Ikado and Scuba.
