Fiction
Age of Extinction film
Multiple Steeljaws were present when Harold Attinger requested an audience with Lockdown in the Arctic.
As Cade, Tessa, and Shane fled Lockdown's ship, Lockdown sent in multiple Steeljaws to find and kill them. Cade picked them off while Shane and Tessa crossed the ship's anchor wires. When some of the Steeljaws attempted to terminate the humans, the others chewed through the wires and eventually broke them. However, all of their chewing went to waste as the trio was rescued by Bumblebee. Age of Extinction
Titan movie comics

Notes
- A preliminary name for the Steeljaws seems to have been Wolves, appearing on a Topps trading card and in toy listings leaked via Hasbro's customer service website.[1]
- Some reports from Toy Fair 2014 suggested the existence of a Dino Sparkers toy featuring Lockdown, which the aforementioned leak suggests would have featured a 'Wolf' as the mount. Ultimately, this product was never officially revealed or solicited for release.
- Steeljaw's product description on Hasbro Toy Shop's website uses the stock copy for Autobots, describing him fighting Decepticons.[2]
- Steeljaw was used as an early working name for Dark of the Moon Que/Wheeljack.[3] It ended up being used for Leadfoot's dog instead.
