Profile: Razorclaw is all business; cruel, brutal business. He despises waste in any form. He does not spend a second of his time or burn a drop of his fuel unless he's certain of tangible results. In his case, that typically takes the form of the smoking wreckage of an enemy Autobot. Those who are not familiar with him often mistake his long stretches of inactivity for laziness or disinterest. That can be a fatal mistake. For upon closer inspection, one would see that his eyes never close, that they are constantly shifting their gleaming steely stare, monitoring all they see. And when Razorclaw observes that the moment is just right, he explodes into ferocious action. These belligerent bursts of energy usually only last a few seconds, but that's usually all it takes for Razorclaw to demolish an opponent. Afterwards, he returns his resting state -keeping his own counsel, watching all around him... and waiting for the next right moment to strike! |

Abilities: Razorclaw has enormous strength. In lion mode, he can leap distances as long as a football field. His claws can rip through foot-thick steel with one swipe and allow him to climb up the sides of buildings by digging into their walls. He can run at 90 mph. In both lion and robot modes, he has twin concussion blasters that shoot capsules that explode on contact and release a volatile gas. In robot mode he wields a sonic sword, which emits powerful vibrations that shatter the crystalline molecular structures of metals on contact, enhancing the sword's cutting power tenfold. He combines with his fellow Predacons to form the giant robot Predaking. Weaknesses: Razorclaw is sometimes partially immobilized by his joints locking in place following his often long periods of inactivity. |

Other Appearances: The Predacon sub-group he lead, very well may have "evolved" after the events of the final G1 shows. As one of the original PREDACONS, it could have been this group that gave rise to 'race' of Predacons on Cybertron which led to the Beast Wars. How these G1 Predacons may be connected to those of "Robots in Disguise" is, as yet, unknown. |
| As for Razorclaw specifically; well, there was another Razorclaw character in 1997. They may or may not be the same individual, but I always liked to think so! Given the fact that they not only have the same name, but also have the almost unique habit of "remaining motionless" for long periods of time prior to attack seems to add a little further credibility that the two may be the same individual.. Further there was a Mini-con released in 2005 who shared the name. |
