While definitely a ceratops, Snarl isn't a Triceratops- count the number of horns. He's only got two. He looks more like a Diceratus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diceratus, Arrhinoceratops: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhinoceratops, or Albertaceratops: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albertaceratops which more accurately fit his head.

Either that or the designers simply neglected the fact that a Triceratops is supposed to have a third horn halfway down the snout when dreaming up the design.

:Well, Snarl's initial animatronic form is definitely a triceratops. Consider his robotic lack of a third horn to be a curious side effect of becoming a Transformer, like Grimlock's enormous underbite. Or if nothing else, consider the spike on his nose to be a sort of fusion of his dino beak-mouth and nose horn.--[[User:Apcog|Apcog]] 12:13, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
::...uh huh...ok The nose horn is that big sticky uppy bit above the beak. They simply coloured it the same as the mouth and used one piece of plastic. He is without a doubt a Trike. A)That's clearly intended as a nose horn, and b)in show we see him predinobot...and he's a Triceratops! Personally, it's not my fav design choice, but it's not robbing him of his genus in the least [[User:GWolfv2]] 00.00 May 25th
