Wielded by both Snaptrap and Piranacon, the giant combiner Snaptrap forms the core of, the incendiary sword is wreathed in searing flames - even while underwater. Which, to be fair, isn't without precedence.

Fiction

Marvel The Transformers comics

In robot mode Snaptrap used a fire-rimmed incendiary sword. Snaptrap's Universe profile

Dreamwave Generation One continuity

In robot mode, Snaptrap wielded an incendiary sword that was rimmed with metal-melting cold flame even underwater. Snaptrap's More than Meets the Eye profile Piranacon also usually wielded Snaptrap's incendiary sword alongside one of the other Seacons' weapons modes. Piranacon's More than Meets the Eye profile

Toys

The Transformers

Although The Transformers Snaptrap's instructions label his weapons genericaly as laser and sword, his packaging bio reveals that they represent a semi-automatic atom-smasher rifle and incendiary sword, which he can hold in robot mode.
This toy was available as part of a Piranacon giftset and has been redecoed and reissued. The mold was also used to make Halfshell, though he lacked the sword accessory.

Notes

  • Piranacon's Marvel Universe profile and art completely ignore his incendiary sword.
