- Buzzclaw is a Predacon in the Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity.
Know that I am...wait, never mind.
Buzzclaw is a savage, powerful Fuzor warrior, focused and stoicly confident on the battlefied, immensly arrogant, condescending and boastfull off it. Or so he seems. Few would guess that underneath that deadly, proud, snide exterior he is actually a horribly insecure wreck of a robot. Beneath the protective persona of lies he's wrapped himself in Buzzclaw is full of crippling self-doubt and parranoia. He's convinced that everyone else is judging him at all times and finding him wanting. He tends to work alone and isolate himself from his commrades as another layer of protection against this feared rejection.

Know that my name is...wait, never mind.
Buzzclaw was among the protoforms remotely reprogrammed into Predacons by Magmatron. He was assigned to join Iguanus, Lazorbeak, Sky Shadow, and Jetstorm in hunting Razorbeast's Maximals. When Sky Shadow discovered the fugitive Maximals, Buzzclaw was among the Predacons who participated in the battle that ensued, where he tangled with Noctorro. After Magmatron was defeated, Buzzclaw presumably retreated with the rest of his comrades.
Buzzclaw was apparently killed fighting Rartorata. The Ascending issue 4

Notes
- Buzzclaw's toy bio states that he uses "ion discs", suggesting that he is Manterror reborn as a Fuzor. Either way, Manterror and Buzzclaw appear side-by-side in the IDW comics.
