| This article is about the unreleased Japanese Autobot. For the European Decepticon "Snipe", see Afterburner (G2). |
- Snipe was to have been an Autobot from the Block Town portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Snipe (スナイプ Sunaipu) is an Autobot who uses radar...and that is all we know.
Toys
Block Town
- Radar Set (Block Town, 1996)
- ID number: TFBT-1
- Accessories: Radar array/rifle, radar brick set
- Afterburner's mold was one of several intended to be used in the post-G2 Takara Block Town line, as an Autobot. To be redecoed in light blue with black, he was to come with the TFBT-1 Radar Set, a building-block radar tower that could be rebuilt into a battle station of some form. This set ultimately never came to release.
- In 2005, a supposed Takara "release" schedule listed the Block Town sets among several other future items coming out. Only the Galaxy Force items on that list saw release, however (and some only as store exclusives to boot).
- Given that Afterburner's Japanese name was revealed on a BotCon Japan 1997-exclusive poster to be "Snipe"—a poster that also showed Windbreaker's Japanese name as being "Carzap", which was what the Block Town Windbreaker redeco showed up as in Transformers Generations—it's likely that the Block Town Afterburner was going to be named "Snipe" as well. The whole "Autobot" thing makes the issue somewhat hazy, though.
 Proceed on your way to oblivion. |
