Popular beast alternate modes

2012-10-05T18:17:13Z

AngryMunkky: /* Apatosaurus */ Added Sludge from the Aligned Continuity

Earth is a planet literally teeming with organic life forms. Millions of genera, of all shapes and sizes, inhabit the planet, and a [[Transformer|Cybertronian]] might scan any of them for a potential [[alternate mode]]. Some genera, however, are extremely popular with Cybertronians.

'''TFWiki.net: The Transformers Wiki''' has certain requirements for an animal to be listed here. There must be at least '''three unique toy molds''' (or in-fiction appearances, in the case of non-toy bodies/characters) that share the beast mode. There must also be at least '''one unique character per mold'''—a single character getting numerous revamps in similar bodies over the years would not count as a "popular mode."

Each mold is listed on its own line, with all different-character decoes/[[Retool|retools]] on the same line. The list is organized in chronological order of toy release.

Popular beast alternate modes

2012-09-28T16:23:25Z

AngryMunkky: /* Pteranodon */ Added Swoop from the Aligned Continuity

Earth is a planet literally teeming with organic life forms. Millions of genera, of all shapes and sizes, inhabit the planet, and a [[Transformer|Cybertronian]] might scan any of them for a potential [[alternate mode]]. Some genera, however, are extremely popular with Cybertronians.

'''TFWiki.net: The Transformers Wiki''' has certain requirements for an animal to be listed here. There must be at least '''three unique toy molds''' (or in-fiction appearances, in the case of non-toy bodies/characters) that share the beast mode. There must also be at least '''one unique character per mold'''—a single character getting numerous revamps in similar bodies over the years would not count as a "popular mode."

Each mold is listed on its own line, with all different-character decoes/[[Retool|retools]] on the same line. The list is organized in chronological order of toy release.

Popular beast alternate modes

2012-09-28T16:20:55Z

AngryMunkky: /* Triceratops */ Added Slug from the Aligned Continuity.

Earth is a planet literally teeming with organic life forms. Millions of genera, of all shapes and sizes, inhabit the planet, and a [[Transformer|Cybertronian]] might scan any of them for a potential [[alternate mode]]. Some genera, however, are extremely popular with Cybertronians.

'''TFWiki.net: The Transformers Wiki''' has certain requirements for an animal to be listed here. There must be at least '''three unique toy molds''' (or in-fiction appearances, in the case of non-toy bodies/characters) that share the beast mode. There must also be at least '''one unique character per mold'''—a single character getting numerous revamps in similar bodies over the years would not count as a "popular mode."

Each mold is listed on its own line, with all different-character decoes/[[Retool|retools]] on the same line. The list is organized in chronological order of toy release.

Snarl (FOC)

:''Snarl is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].
[[Image:FOC Snarl robot mode.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
'''Snarl''' is a Dinobot. We all know what that means: dying is an occupational hazard for him.

{{Note|On [[September 11]], [[2012]], Snarl and [[Swoop (WFC)|the rest]] [[Slug|of the]] [[Grimlock (WFC)|Dinobots]], excluding [[Sludge (FOC)|Sludge]], were made available for download in the Dinobot Destructor Pack on Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Steam. <ref>http://www.theverge.com/gaming/2012/9/4/3283751/transformer-fall-of-cybertron-is-bringing-the-dinobots-to-competitive</ref>}}

Snarl and the rest of the [[Lightning Strike Coalition]] deserted their post defending the Ark when they detected strange energy readings in the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]]. The energy readings were caused by [[Shockwave (Prime)|Shockwave]]'s [[space bridge]] experiments at the [[energon lake]], and when they arrived, they came under attack by [[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticons]] and were overwhelmed. Shockwave took the time to experiment on them, giving them primitive dinosaur forms. When the rest of the team found Snarl, he had been trapped behind a [[force field]] and repeatedly electroshocked by [[Sharpshot]] until [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] freed him. The team took the injured Snarl to an observation deck where they found notes on Shockwave's experiments on them and adopted the name "Dinobots". Though Optimus ordered them back to base, Grimlock insisted on attacking Shockwave's tower himself, and Snarl, [[Slug]] and [[Swoop (WFC)|Swoop]] later watched from afar as the tower was destroyed at his hand. {{storylink|Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron}}

* Snarl's beast-mode head is available in ''Fall of Cybertron'' multiplayer as a Rampage-type component for [[Destroyer (FOC)|Destroyer]]-class characters.

AngryMunkky:

Hello, I'm AngryMunkky, and while this account is new I'm not. This will be my third account on TFWiki, because with the last two accounts somethingw ent wrong with the passwords (I did NOT forget them!) and I was effectively locked out of them both. I'm hoping the same thing doesn't happen here.

Anyway, I'm AngryMunkky, a Beast Wars/Movie/Prime fan from the fairytale kingdom of England. I want to give editing TFWiki a go because A) I'm a huge Transformers fan, and B) I've been editing Wikipedia for a while but I've grown tired of it because 85% of other editors on Wikipedia are self-righteous fascists who think they own articles and refuse to let other people make changes, even if said changes would benefit the article itself.

So that's me, I look forward to contributing to this Wiki (If I'm not locked out again of course!).
