-Where [[Ravage|the Decepticon cassette with a cat-mode]] is a master of moving about undetected, it is fitting that the his Autobot counterpart is one of the best at tracking down robots who don't want to be found. '''Steeljaw''' is a tenacious tracker of unmatched skill. His olfactory sensors can track even the faintest scent for a range of 800 miles. All business when on the job, he can come off as cold, even rude to others but that's just his professionalism and determination getting the better of him. Steeljaw has a nearly unbreakable bite, wich gave him his name and is armed with two solar powered pelet guns. He can electromagnatize himself to stick to surfaces in cassette mode. His only real weakness is a tendency to rust.
-==Fiction==
-===Marvel Comics continuity===
-====Generation 1====
-:''(Note: Events from UK-only stories are in italics.)''
-''In an alternate timeline in the year 2008, Steeljaw was stationed at [[Autobot City|Autobot City: Earth]] when it was sacked by [[Quintessons]].  He survived, hidden within [[Blaster]]'s tape compartment, and was activated by Hot Rod and Arcee to help them fight off the invaders. {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}''
-====''G.I. Joe Starring Snake-Eyes and the Transformers''====
-In the normal timeline (albeit in a [[G.I. Joe]] comic), Steeljaw was part of a team sent by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] to stop a [[Cobra]]-rebuilt [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]. Steeljaw was killed rather abruptly, being the first victim of Megatron's new "hyper-velocity" rail gun. {{storylink|Final Transformations}}
-===Animated continuity===
-'''Voice actors:''' ? (US), [[Masashi Ebara]] (Japan)
-====Scramble City OVA (Japan-only)====
-Megatron sent Soundwave's cassette forces to find the secret location of [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]]'s construction site.  Blaster ejected his own cassette troops, Steeljaw among them, to counter the Decepticon threat.  His cassette army failed, allowing [[Ratbat]] to slip through and discover the location of Metroplex.
-====Generation 1 cartoon====
-In 2005, during Megatron's attack on [[Autobot City]], [[Soundwave (G1)|Soundwave]] ejected several of his cassette warriors to prevent Blaster from sending a radio transmission to [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] on [[Moonbase One]].  To fend off Soundwave's cassettes, Blaster ejected his own force, with Steeljaw among them.  Blaster's cassettes and Soundwave's cassettes appeared to be evenly matched.
-In the year 2006, Steeljaw participated in several missions.  In one notable appearance, he was chosen as a "Primative" by [[Oracle (G1)|Primacron's Assistant]] and summoned to face the threat of [[Tornadron]].
-====Headmasters cartoon (Japan-only)====
-After Blaster was killed in a duel with Soundwave, Steeljaw, his cassette partners, [[Wheelie]] and [[Daniel Witwicky]] pleaded with [[Rodimus Prime (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] to rebuild their friend.  Rodimus eventually caved and rebuilt Blaster as [[Blaster|Twincast]].
-===Teletraan Go! Go! comics===
-[[Image:TGGSteeljaw.jpg|thumb|Both a noble protector and apparently rather creepy.]]As [[Teletraan 15]] recovered from her injuries at the hands (and mouth) of [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], [[Blaster]] gave her a cassette tape to cheer her up, saying, "A princess like you deserves happier music." When she listened to it, she discovered that it was in fact entirely full of depressing songs.
-It was also apparently Steeljaw, who became her companion in her next adventure, when she visited the ''[[Generation 2]]'' timeline and encountered the [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] of that era. Steeljaw commented that the Autobot smelled "like a warrior I know" and asked if he was the same person in a new body.
-Steeljaw accompanied and protected Teletraan 15 on her journey as she filled his recording space with data on the Transformers whom she had been sent to study. As she returned to [[Moonbase Nana]], she was suddenly possessed by the disembodied spirit of [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]]... and Steeljaw was not seen in her company again.
-:''('''Note''': Steeljaw is described as a "smell fetishist" who obsesses over scents whenever he is not on duty. [[Teletraan 10]] is creeped out that his favorite scent is young women, and threatens to reveal his vulnerability to rusting.)''
