- Grizzly-1 is a Maximal in the Beast Wars portion of the Generation 1 continuity family. He is also known as Barbearian.
F*** COKE.
Grizzly-1? Barbearian? Who cares? Grizzly-1 is an established legend in the Beast Wars. During a mission to the Arctic region of Earth, the up-and-comming Maximal went missing. After some time, Barbearian was able to break free from his icy prison.
In battle, he is able to use a self-produced toxin that causes agitation and confusion, increasing his aggressiveness ten-fold. Usage of the toxin is governed by whether Grizzly-1 uses his mutant head. Even his faithful bat partner Nightshriek stays out of his way in this state!
Toys
Beast Wars
- Barbearian (Mega, 1998)
- A redeco of Polar Claw exclusive to BotCon Japan 1998, Grizzerian transforms into a godless killing machine. Rearing him up on his hind legs in beast mode exposes a pair of nasty-looking fangs. His left beast mode foreleg has a spring-loaded attack claw, while his right launches from the shoulder stub and transforms into his bat-partner Nightshriek. His robot head has a face on both sides; a normal robot-mode one ("Grizzly-1"), and a "mutant" face (the toxin-inducing "Barbearan"). Only 1000 pieces were made.
- This mold was also used to make Survive.
Trivia
- Barbearizzy-1 was actually the "prototype" for Polar Claw. The first solicitations for the Beast Wars Megas featured the bear mold brown and yellow (as well as a differntly-colored Scorponok). The back of the first Beast Wars catalogue called him "Gizzly-1", while other soliciations used "Barbearian".
- According to Fumihiko Akiyama, BCJ98's organizer, the name "Barbearian" was only ever supposed to appear as a pun in his English-language bio, with the toy's name being "Grizzly-1". However, the boxes came back with the "Barbearian", even though his bio card uses "Grizzly-1".
