[[Derrick J.

Both Dinobots speak in the Japanese dub, but only their names.

	: Part of the fourth wave of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)\|Animated]]'' Deluxes, Swoop transforms into a robotic ''Pteranodon''. His arms and wings are jointed so he can "walk" on all fours in beast mode, using the wingtips as forelegs, giving him more than just the standard "mid-flight/T-pose" positioning in beast mode. He comes with a large mace-flail weapon; though not shown in the instructions, his feet have pegs on their undersides that perfectly fit the screw-holes on the mace-ball, allowing him to "carry" it in beast mode. Swoop's eyes are engineered for [[light-piping\|piping]], but are painted blue, negating the gimmick.		: Part of the fourth wave of Hasbro's ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)\|Animated]]'' Deluxes, Swoop transforms into a robotic ''Pteranodon''.

	: The flail weapon seems to have an abandoned gimmick where pushing in the bottom of the ball would activate pop-out flames. Apparently, it was abandoned after the realization that if a child swallowed the weapon, the flames popping out would make the kid's esophagus worse for wear. However, this gimmick can somewhat be reactivated with a small modification [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/tutorials-how-tos/208812-animated-swoops-flaming-mace.html], allowing the flames to be ''partially'' revealed. A slightly more complex modification can be done to allow the flames to raise to ''full height'' when they pop out [https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/animated-swoop-flaming-flail-tutorial.1185567/], resulting in the inner curve of the flames matching the curve of the ball—a look which indicates this is much closer to the original intention.		: The flail weapon seems to have an abandoned gimmick where pushing in the bottom of the ball would activate pop-out flames, akin to the pop-out flame gimmicks found on the other two Dinobots.

	: The flail weapon seems to have an abandoned gimmick where pushing in the bottom of the ball would activate pop-out flames. Apparently, it was abandoned after the realization that if a child swallowed the weapon, the flames popping out would make the kid's esophagus worse for wear. However, this gimmick can somewhat be reactivated with a small modification [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/tutorials-how-tos/208812-animated-swoops-flaming-mace.html], allowing the flames to be ''partially'' revealed. A slightly more complex modification can be done to allow the flames to raise to '''full height''' when they pop out [https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/animated-swoop-flaming-flail-tutorial.1185567/], resulting in the inner curve of the flames matching the curve of the ball—a look which indicates this is much closer to the original intention.		: The flail weapon seems to have an abandoned gimmick where pushing in the bottom of the ball would activate pop-out flames.

[[Derrick J.

Both Dinobots speak in the Japanese dub, but only their names.
	* In addition to their lack of dialogue, Swoop and Snarl also lack names for most of the cartoon's run. Snarl is eventually named in-universe by [[Scrapper (Animated)\|Scrapper]], leaving Swoop the odd 'bot out.
