Snapper is a <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Predacon_%28BW%29" title="Predacon (BW)">Predacon</a> from the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Beast_Era" title="Beast Era">Beast Era</a> portion of the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Generation_1" class="mw-redirect" title="Generation 1">Generation 1</a> <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Continuity_family" title="Continuity family">continuity family</a>.

[[Image:|right|300px|thumb|Villain in a halfshell!]] Everyone knows the tortoise beat the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Stampy" title="Stampy">hare</a>, but had that tortoise been Snapper, he'd have beat the hare into a bloody pulp and hid the remains at the bottom of a swamp. A jet-propelled snapping turtle with a vicious attitude, Snapper is proof that not all turtles are slowpokes. But unlike <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamera" class="extiw" title="wikipedia:Gamera">another jet-powered warrior turtle</a>, Snapper is anything but a friend to children everywhere.

• Snapper (Basic, 1996)
• Accessories: Twin cannon

Part of the first wave of "smooth bubble" Beast Wars Basics, Snapper transforms into a green organic snapping turtle. Like many Beast Wars

Basic figures, his transformation is spring-loaded; pressing down his tail converts him most of the way from turtle to robot. A portion of his shell-back pops free, revealing a flip-out double-barreled blaster weapon that can peg onto his forearms.

<span id="Playset"></span>

• Volcano Showdown (Vs Playset, 1997)
• Japanese ID number: VS-X1
• Accessories: Twin cannon

Snapper was available in Japan exclusively in this large set containing not only him and his enemy <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Armordillo" title="Armordillo">Armordillo</a>,

but also a large battery-operated volcano playset. The playset comes with a number of red plastic balls in some way representing lava, which can either roll down the mountainside in a perpetual cascade, or be fired from the accompanying cannon.

It has been hypothesized that this playset was originally slated for an abandoned <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Microman" title="Microman">Microman</a> line, which is made plausible by the scale of various sculpted details.
