Jawbreaker (BW)
From MediaWiki
| This article is about the Beast Wars Maximal. For the Generation 1 Seacon, see Overbite (G1). |
- Jawbreaker is a Maximal in the Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Jawbreaker has a twisted sense of humor. Perhaps that is why he prefers to be outnumbered when he fights; the fact that he is the most hostile of the Maximals might help in such a situation. Using his magnetic field generator, Jawbreaker draws his prey within grasp.
- European-market name: Cackle
Toys
Beast Wars
- Jawbreaker (Deluxe Transmetal 2, 1999)
- Jawbreaker transforms into a blue, black, and red Transmetal 2 hyena. The back of his beast-mode neck has a spinning saw-blade, and the entire assembly becomes his right robot-mode arm. His tail detaches to form a really vicious-looking sword.
- This mold was later used to make Frostbite.
Trivia
- Beast Wars:The Gathering featured nearly every non-show character from the Hasbro Beast Wars toyline. The exceptions are Jawbreaker, MicroVerse's Orcanoch and Arachnid, Magnaboss, the Mutant Razor Claw and the five McDonalds characters . Jawbreaker was not totally forgotten by IDW, though. He does appear on a Beast Wars poster, which was used (in cropped form) as the cover to The Gathering #1.
- Jawbreaker's pre-release name "Cackle" was retained on some versions of the European packaging.
- Speaking of pre-release information, Jawbreaker showed up in Wal-Mart's computer systems as "kangaroo". Crikey!
