'''Apeface''' is a strong presence in any situation. He's loud, rude, obnoxious, and intimidating to everyone he meets. He dominates those around him with his attitude and fearsome countenance. There's some debate among his fellow Decepticons about how much of his behavior is an act, a gruesomely effective psychological tactic to control others and force them to fold under his demands. Others just think he was built that way. Whatever's going on inside Apeface's cerebral-circuitry, he's not saying. The only one he really gets along with is [[Snapdragon]].

As a [[Headmaster]], he is [[binary bonding|binary bonded]] to [[Spasma]]. Sucks to be Spasma.

Apeface appeared to be the leader of the "animals" under [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] and [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]]'s command. Or at least their spokesperson. Not that it matters, since when Apeface balked at a command to rip off his own head, Cyclonus <strike>pimp-slapped</strike> shot him and said "You will do as I say, or you will die!" Not way up there in the Decepticon hierarchy, Apeface is.

Accompanying the Decepticons to [[Nebulos]], Apeface was binary bonded to Spasma, who warned him not to get out of line. "We'll see who's boss" was Apeface's reply. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 1}} {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 2}}

{{note|One of the many confusing glitches in The Rebirth is the fact that, while Spasma is clearly designed to transform into both the robot and ape heads, Apeface retains his ape mode head even when Spasma is separated from him.}}

===Headmasters manga continuity===

===Marvel Comics continuity===
On Cybertron, Apeface was among Scorponok's crew of Decepticons. When their Autobot foes left for the planet Nebulos, the Decepticons followed. {{storylink|Broken Glass!}}

Not long after their arrival, Apeface and his pal Snapdragon were having fun terrorizing the natives in the city of [[Splendora]], until they were easily dispatched by two Autobot Headmasters. Though Scorponok berated the two for their failure, this latest defeat proved enough for him to reconsider the merits of the Headmaster process. Soon, Apeface was one of six Decepticons who underwent binary-bonding with the organic Nebulans to become a Headmaster. {{storylink|Love and Steel!}}

He and the others continued to terrorize Nebulos until the Decepticons left for Earth, pursuing Fortress Maximus's Autobots yet again. {{storylink|Brothers in Armor!!}}

[[Image:Apeface smackdown.jpg|left|thumb|200px|He'll beat you with the oily end.]]

During the battle between Scorponok and [[Ratbat]]'s crews, Apeface learned a valuable truth about himself: while he isn't ''quite'' willing to rip off his own arm and beat someone to death with it, he's also not one to ignore an opportunity when it presents itself. [[Rampage (G1)|Rampage]] learned that the hard way. {{Storylink|Cold War!}}

Apeface was quite amused by the [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]'s surrender to Scorponok on Earth, considering it a regular comedy show. {{storylink|Surrender!}}

Apeface was teleported to Cybertron along with countless other Transformers, where he somehow found a tasty banana to keep himself occupied while [[Emirate Xaaron|some stupid Autobot]] yammered on about [[Unicron|dark gods]] and [[Primus|creators]] and stuff. {{storylink|The Void! (Marvel US comic)|The Void!}}

When the aforementioned dark god showed up at Cybertron a short while later, Apeface wasn't so amused. Like countless others, he fled in a panic. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}}

After the apocalyptic battle, Apeface's ruined form was seen among the dead. {{storylink|Still Life!}}

===Blackthorne ''Transformers in 3D'' continuity===
[[Image:ApefaceGrunk01.jpg|right|thumb|150px|GRUNK!]]"Ape Face" (as it is spelt in the comic) was one of the last few Decepticons remaining behind on Tau-Ursa when the Autobots arrived. He was investigating a crashed spaceship when he found a voice recording. Deducing that if the tape spoke it must be important, he resolved to take it to [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]].

At this moment he was attacked by [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] and [[Hot Rod]] who were intent on keeping him from escaping with the information. The triple changer loudly declared his intention to smash them (with a mighty cry of "GRUUUNK!"), and after knocking them to the ground similarly anounced he was transforming into jet mode. He was too slow however, and Blurr seized his arm, prising the tape from his hand before escaping. This made him mad. {{storylink|The War Against the Destructons, Chapter 1 of 3}}

===Generation 1===
*'''Apeface with Spasma''' (Headmaster Horrocon, 1987)
:''Japanese ID number'': '''D-101'''

Apeface turns into both a fighter jet of no specific type and a robotic gorilla. A shield forms two fins in jet mode. His Headmaster partner, Spasma, forms both his robot mode face and his ape mode face (which is simply the back of his robot face).

==Trivia==
* In the Japanese ''[[The Headmasters|Headmasters]]'' series, Spasma does not exist as a separate entity from Apeface; like all Headmasters, the large robot is just a lifeless [[Transtector]] body controlled entirely by the head unit. However, Apeface's head unit is ''still'' called "Spasma" when separated from the larger robot body, even though it's the same guy!

Snapdragon (G1)

2008-04-11T10:44:14Z

59.101.40.99: /* Generation 1 */

:''Snapdragon is a [[Decepticon]] [[Horrorcon]] in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].

[[Image:G1Snapdragon_boxart.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Surprisingly, mauling [[Daniel Witwicky|Daniel]] did not make him an instant fan favorite.]]

What [[Blot]] does through carelessness, '''Snapdragon''' does with deliberation. He loves nothing more than bathing in putrid grease pits or, if those aren't available, the running fuel from his victims' corpses. His bouts of animalistic fury and sheer love of destruction would make him an excellent warrior if not for the fact that he's also as lazy as the [[Empties]] in [[Dead End (place)|Dead End]]. His personal quarters are littered with alarm clocks shot to fragments by laser fire because Snapdragon just wasn't motivated to kill and maim that morning. His fellow Decepticons know they risk suffering a similar fate if they try to wake him. But often risk it in the hopes of channeling Snapdragon's rage towards the Autobots. Woe to the Autobot warrior who faces Snapdragon without his beauty rest. However, his lazy and appalling personal habits make him unwelcome among his fellow Decepticons, except for the equally thuggish [[Apeface]].

He is [[binary bonding|binary bonded]] with [[Krunk]], who only adds to his thuggish personality.

:''Voice actor'': [[Dan Gilvezan]]

[[Image:Snapdragon-Apeface.jpg|left|thumb|150px|"You smell, Snapdragon". "And you're annoying, Apeface." "Good point. Let's be friends."]]

Snapdragon was one of the newly recruited Decepticon animals who attacked Autobot City as a diversion, so that the [[Clone]]s could steal the Key to the Plasma Energy Chamber. After a quick game of "kick the can" with [[Freeway]], Snapdragon retreated and joined [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]]'s unit in journeying to the Chamber, and then tracking the Autobots who recovered the Key to [[Nebulos]]. While there, he mauled [[Daniel Witwicky]], unfortunately giving rise to the Autobot Headmasters. When his leaders made a deal with the [[Hive]], Snapdragon gave up his head (well, one of them*) to be [[Binary bonding|binary-bonded]] to the Nebulan known as [[Krunk]].

''*One of the many confusing glitches in Rebirth is the fact that, while Krunk is clearly designed to transform into both the robot and dragon heads, Snapdragon retains his dragon mode head even when Krunk is separated from him.''

:'''Voice actor''': [[Kazuo Oka]]

===Headmasters manga continuity===

===Marvel Comics continuity===
[[Image:Nightbeatsnapdragon.jpg|right|thumb|Snapdragon doesn't care for your [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] love.]]
Snapdragon was a Triple-Changer working for [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] when their chief opponents, [[Fortress Maximus]] and his band, suddenly vanished off the face of the planet. They eventually found their enemies when Lord [[Zarak]] of [[Nebulos]] sent a [[subspace]] comm message to Cybertron, asking for help in ridding his world of the Autobots. Snapdragon and the others arrived on Nebulos, ready to destroy their enemies and plunder the planet for resources, taking Zarak and his band of followers prisoner in the process. After Fortress Maximus and his fellow warriors drove off Scorponok's crew with their new [[Headmaster]] powers, Scorponok arranged a deal with Zarak to binary bond his warriors with the captive Nebulans. Snapdragon was binary-bonded to Zarak's personal bodyguard [[Krunk]].

Snapdragon served under Scorponok during his command on Earth. When he was transported to Cybertron along with almost every other Transformer, he managed to survive the epic battle against [[Unicron]] and went on to serve under [[Bludgeon (G1)|Bludgeon]].

He took part in Bludgeon's successful ambush of the Autobots on [[Klo]], only to soon after have his head blown off by [[Blaster]], in a counter-attack led by the newly-resurrected [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]].{{Storylink|End of the Road!}}

===Generation 1===
*'''Snapdragon with Krunk''' (1987)
:''Japanese ID number'': '''D-100'''

Snapdragon transforms into a fighter jet with a really long front section, and also a 'reptile mode', which resembles a generic large theropod dinosaur. His jet mode has two detachable fins, while his reptile mode can have his two guns mounted on its back. His Headmaster partner, Krunk, is both his robot mode head and his reptile mode head (which is simply the robot mode head flipped on its back).
