63.3.17.129:

I don't have any relevant images to check with, but, having just moved the article from "Robot points" to "Robot point", it occurs to me that perhaps both words should be capitalized? Does anyone have reference for that? Also, I have never before heard of mailaway TFs appearing at retail. I trust Sipher to not make shit up, but, can someone point me to a reference for that? --[[User:Steve-o|Steve-o]] 13:50, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
:Robot Points does strike me as being a proper name. I'd say capitalize. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 15:24, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
: Yeah, I was about to say. I never heard of anyone finding mail-away guys at any sort of retail... if they were, how the hell were they packaged? I didn't think Reflector had a box? [[User:Hooper X|-hx]] 16:14, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

::: Yeah, I kinda doubt these guys were EVER at retail. Also the tone of the article seems a bit dismissive and derogatory. I remember the mail away offers very fondly and had a drawer full of robot points for years even after G1 ended could use some reworking. Also a list of all US mail aways, cost/points, and a picture of Robot points would all be nice additions.<div id="wikia-credits"><br /><br /><small>From [http://transformers.wikia.com Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.</small></div>

Snarl (G1)

63.3.17.129: /* Trivia */ Removed untrue trivia. A number of AM Autobots had animal partners.

:''Snarl is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Generation 1]] continuity family.''

'''Snarl''' is an unhappy, unsociable loner. He grudgingly follows [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]]'s orders and that's about it. He leaves thinking to others. He has few opinions and rarely expresses those he has. Snarl's uncommunicative nature only serves to fuel his sense of isolation. On top of all this, he hates the ungainly stegosaur form given him by the [[Ark]] and feels that the war on [[Earth]] means he may never see his beloved [[Cybertron]] again. Snarl is a profoundly unhappy being.

Only in war does Snarl feel happiness. Only the joy of combat washes away the ache in his spark, and lets him forget anything but the rising thrill of the fight. For these reasons Snarl revels in combat more than even his fellow [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]].

==Fiction==
===Marvel Comics continuity===

====Classics====
Snarl (in his [[Action Master]] body) is part of Grimlock's crew on the ''[[Graviton (Classics)|Graviton]]. {{storylink|Games of Deception!}}

:''('''Note''': The ''[[Classics (2006)|Classics]]'' story takes place in a post-Marvel Generation 1 comics universe where [[Generation 2]] did not happen.)''

===Animated continuity===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Hal Rayle]] (US), [[Ken Shiroyama]] (Japan)
[[Image:SnarlG1.jpg|left|150px|thumb|That's it, Snarl. Take one for the team.]]

Snarl, along with [[Swoop (G1)|Swoop]], were the second set of Dinobots created by [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]. They fought the previous Dinobot group who had been tricked by [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] into joining the Decepticons. {{Storylink|War of the Dinobots}}

Soon after a climatic battle between the Optimus Prime and Megatron, the [[Constructicon]]s dug their way into the ''[[Ark]]'' in an attempt to destroy [[Teletraan I]]. Upon the sounding of the alarm, Snarl was among the Dinobots who drove the intruders outside the base. However, the Constructions unleashed their secret weapon by combining to form the mighty [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]. Snarl was kicked by the giant, ending up hanging over the edge of a river of lava which then proceeded to burn his already damaged backside. It was not a very good day. {{Storylink|Heavy Metal War}}

In the year 2005, Snarl is conspiciously absent in most significant battles in Transformer history, but was present in the aftermath of the Decepticon attack on [[Autobot City]] before dissapearing again. {{Storylink|Transformers The Movie}}

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
*'''Snarl''' (Dinobot, 1985/1986/1991/1992)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''29'''
[[Image:G1Snarl_toy.jpg|right|thumb|]]

: Snarl transforms from a robotic stegosaurus dinosaur bristling with gold vacuum-metalized armor plates, to a heavily armed robot armed with a red energo-blade, a smaller laser rifle and a rocket launcher with three black missiles.

: Snarl was later reissued in the European/Australian-exclusive "[[Classics (Euro)|Classics]]" series (not to be confused with the ''[[Classics (2006)|2006 Classics]]'' line). In Japan, he and the other Dinobots were offered as mail-away items during ''[[Operation Combination]]'', at a cost of 2300 yen (his original retail price) and two robot points.

*'''Snarl''' (Action Master, 1990)

: [[Action Master]] Snarl is a non-transforming action figure that combines the animation model with toy-details and a few other new flourishes. He was sold on an individual card with his transforming partner [[Tyrannitron]]. He is compatible with any other Action Master weapon or vehicle.

===Generation 2===
*'''Snarl''' (Dinobot, 1993)

: The original Snarl toy went through several iterations in the ''[[Generation 2]]'' line. First, he was re-released in the original silver base color without his missile launcher; the only notable difference in the toy proper is the inclusion of the "AUTOBOT" [[tampograph]] on one of his robot-mode legs.

: The toy then had its silver changed to green, and ''then'' changed again to red. The final red coloration is the most common, while the green and silver variations go for a little more on the secondary market.

==Trivia==
* The original Snarl toy was part of [[Takara]]'s ''[[Diaclone]]'' Dinosaur Robo series. When [[Hasbro]] imported the toy for the ''Transformers'' line, the Diaclone driver mini-figure was dropped and the robot mode's black torso was turned to a more team-matching red.

* According to his toy bio, the ''[[Beast Machines]]'' era [[Dinobot (BM)|Dinobot]] [[Striker]] is rumored to be one of the original Generation 1 Dinobots. If this is true, his stegosaur mode and energy absorbing spinal plates strongly point towards his being Snarl.
