| This article is about Snarl's Action Master partner. For the similar-sounding Sharkticon from Retribution, see Tyrannicon. |
- Tyrannitron is an Autobot Action Master partner from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Tyrannitron may be small, but he fits right into the general Dinobot theme: angry, snarling, barely-controlled fury in the form of a prehistoric metal monster. Sure, he can convert into a huge shrapnel rifle, but that means his partner Snarl is doing the actual destruction. Tyrannitron would much rather be ripping into the Decepticons tooth and nail on his own, thank you very much.

[edit]
Tyrannitron was part of Ultra Magnus's crew on the Graviton. Apparently, he ate things he was not supposed to. Huffer was given the task of watching him, since he wanted to stay on the ship while Snarl was accompanying the crew in stopping Bug Bite. No one else had the time to look for Tyrannitron. Games of Deception
Tyrannitron and the crew were seen again in Axiom Nexus, despite both their home universe's destruction and the multiverse-wide Shrouding. They may have "taken the long way" to get there according to Optimus Prime. Epilogue

- Snarl with Tyrannitron (Action Master, 1990)
- Known designers: Masakatsu Saito (concept artist)
- Part of the third assortment of individually-carded Action Masters, released in the seventh and final year of The Transformers in the US (sixth and non-final in Europe), Tyrannitron is a mechanical dino-critter (he actually rather resembles Hojoni) with a simple spring-loaded transformation into a cannon mode that can be held by any Action Master figure. In this mode, he can attach any Action Master's rifle to the end of his cannon to form a super weapon. He also has peg holes on either shoulder to mount Action Master rifles.
- He was only available packed in with his larger partner Snarl.
Notes
[edit]- Snarl's packaging bio describes Tyrannitron's alternate mode as a metal-rendering shrapnel rifle; this should probably have been a metal-rending shrapnel rifle.
- The Action Master partner robots were given the "Targetmaster" classification retroactively by Dreamwave's More than Meets the Eye profile series.
