IDW Beast Wars Comics
Polaw Claw was one of the protoforms jettisoned from the Axalon on prehistoric Earth. He was activated and put in chronal phase by Razorbeast at Magmatron's request. Magmatron had sent his troops to report on the awakening of his new Predacon army, and Spittor was unfortunate enough to witness Polar Claw's activation. Polar Claw was protected from Magmatron's Predacon shell-program by Razorbeast's viral code. The giant polar bear summarily squashed Spittor.
Polar Claw worked his way toward Razorbeast's summoning signal, and eventually arrived in time to help fight off an army of Predacons. In the subsequent battle, Polar Claw stomped on Terragator.
