FIRST APPEARANCE: TRANSFORMERS # 25

“All good things succumb to those who wait.”

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
and 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 furious, 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 to
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. It 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.
