			===Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics===
			Swindle was armed with a gyro-gun that disturbed the balance centers of [[Transformer]]s, severely hampering their ability to move around effectively. {{storylink\|The Transformers Universe (Marvel)\|Swindle's ''Universe'' profile}} In [[robot mode]] Snapdragon used a gyro-gun, which interfered with the balancing circuitry of any robot its beam hit. {{storylink\|The Transformers Universe (Marvel)\|Snapdragon's ''Universe'' profile}}

	While guarding the mighty fortress [[Scorponok (G1)\|Scorponok]], Snapdragon used his gyro-guns to ward off any trespassers. In one possible scenario, a well-placed blast caused [[Highbrow (G1)\|Highbrow]] to fire his weapons wildly about before the Autobot collapsed to the ground. The effect lasted quite some time, leaving Highbrow unable to defend himself without [[you]]r help. In one possible situation that followed, a shot fired from your [[laser cannon]] threw Snapdragon off-balance, causing him to hit Scorponok with his gyro-gun. The giant robot lost his balance, and fell onto Skullcruncher, taking him out of the fight. {{storylink\|Swamp of the Scorpion}}		While guarding the mighty fortress [[Scorponok (G1)\|Scorponok]], Snapdragon used his gyro-guns to ward off any trespassers.
