he'd have beat the hare into a bloody pulp and hid the remains at the

: 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.
