Title:
Claw Jaw Transmetal
Description:
Claw Jaw (VHS pack-in, 1998)
Accessories: Claw-blade
A redecoed green and blue Claw Jaw was sold with a VHS tape in the European market. Despite the lack of a third, vehicular mode, this version of Claw Jaw was still sold as a Transmetal.
Together with the equally Europe-only "Transmetal” redeco of Spittor he was released alongside, this version of Claw Jaw came in unique trilingual packaging that sported texts in English, German, and Italian (regular European Beast Wars packaging came in the combinations French/Dutch/German and English/Spanish/Italian).
The VHS tape included with the UK release contained the Beast Wars episode "Aftermath”, whereas the tape included with the German release contained a dubbed version of the episode "Beast Wars (Part 1)”.
Oddly enough, like most redecoes of this mold, this figure uses the Takara Scuba molding as well. His robot feet have been hollowed out more than on the original Claw Jaw and his forearms/tentacles have been thickened up and rounded at the tips. It’s possible that this figure was the first to start the change in the tooling as both Scuba and this one were released the same year, although it’s probably lost to time as to which was the first to use it.
This toy was later repurposed as an "infected” Ikard in Beast Wars: Uprising.
