"I hear you, brother."
Snake-Eyes is a ninja. As such, he has been known to flip out and kill people. He is also a mammal. It is rumored he plays guitar in his free time. He doesn't talk much and it's not clear what his face looks like under his mask, but at least one woman thinks he's pretty darn cool.
Statistically, all ninjas are turtles.
Fiction
Marvel Comics continuity
Snake-Eyes was one of the Joes stationed at Fort Lewis in Seattle to guard Power Station Alpha, the world's first mobile solar/nuclear power station. The base was attack by the Dreadnoks and also investigated by the Autobots and the Decepticons. Snake-Eyes managed to shut down Alpha after it was set moving by the Decepticon Bombshell, Blood on the Tracks then was part of the team who tried to deal with the angry Autobot Superion. Power Struggle Snake-Eyes remained stationed at Fort Lewis and subsequently had to work in a alliance with Cobra against the Decepticons. ...All Fall Down!
However, he has very little interaction with Transformers (while COBRA re-made Megatron as a tank, Snake-Eyes was busy fighting Night Creeper Leader).
Later Snake-Eyes and Hawk tried to help Hot Spot in destroying the alien technology Cobra had obtained, but Hot Spot was wounded and choose to activate his self-destruct up rather than risk being captured. All or Nothing!
Dreamwave continuity
Transformers/G.I. Joe
He enlisted with G.I. Joe.
At the Fera Islands he encountered his sword brother Stormshadow, who had long since abandoned the Arashikage ninja clan to dishonorably join Cobra. Their rivalry was heightened by Stormshadow's damaging Snake-Eyes's face — and Snake-Eyes had to damage his own face more by using flame to cauterize the wound.
Stormshadow led Snake-Eyes on a chase around the area - which included a battle against Ravage. Snake-Eyes defeated the robot cat. Eventually Snake-Eyes and Stormshadow drove each other over the edge of a cliff and into the water below. Luckily, Snake-Eyes was not eaten by the shark that consumed his nemesis.
After brooding a tiny bit more, Snake-Eyes rendezvoused with Scarlett. Together, the two infiltrated Cobra's Terrordrome. On orders from Optimus Prime, Snake-Eyes destroyed The Matrix - killing all Transformers and preventing their war from spreading over the earth.
Divided Front
Over a decade later, he's still doing the ninja thing.
Much like Destro, it's entirely possible the Snake-Eyes in this story was not the ninja we know and love, but perhaps somebody else was under the mask acting in the same role.
Devil's Due continuity
Transformers vs. G.I. Joe
Originally, Snake-Eyes enjoyed a reputation among his military comrades for being incredibly talkative; however, due to injuries he sustained when Cobra attacked Washington, D.C. using mind-controlled Decepticons as war machines, he lost his ability to speak and his face was severely disfigured. He subsequently became a founding member of the G.I. Joe team.
He cut Starscream in the eye and shoved in a grenade.
As a way of thanking him and G.I.Joe for his efforts, the Autobots gave him a giant robot of his own to pilot.
The Art Of War
He and Scarlett were using their giant robots to play one last game of tag before the Autobots arrived to decommission them as part of a project to remove all Cybertronian technology from Earth, when Cobra Commander suddenly attacked G.I. Joe's base using his own army of giant robots. Luckily the Autobots arrived to assist in defending the base.
Snake-Eyes was part of the group that followed Serpent O.R. to Cybertron and was quickly captured. In captivity, he and Scarlett had a tender moment where he revealed his heavily damaged faced to her.
Later, he escaped confinement by using an Arashikage ninja technique to hypnotize his guard (Breakdown) into shooting the other prison guard (Nautilator). Once he and the other captured Joes were free, they met with the rest of the assembled G.I. Joe/Autobot army to fight off Serpent O.R.'s new Decepticon Army. Snake-Eyes helped by stabbing Overkill through the eyes to save Hawk.
Later, after the battle had been won, he relaxed and continued his game of tag with Scarlett.
The Art Of War
He's still alive. But not as cool as Joseph Colton. Black Horizon
