Snarl (AOE)

The name or term "Snarl" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Snarl (disambiguation).

Snarl is a Dinobot from the Age of Extinction portion of the live-action film series continuity family.

Snarl hates everybody. He hates the Dinobots, he hates the Autobots, and he hates the Decepticons. He even hates you. The only time he smiles is when he stares at you... when you are dead or when he's about to murder you. He transforms into a robotic Stegosaurus.

Fear his Thagomizer.

Toys

Age of Extinction

Robots in Disguise

• Snarl (Power Battlers, 2014)

Power Battlers Snarl is a simplified version of Snarl with a 'Hammer Strike' gimmick.

Generations

"How come me, Snarl, never in the movies?! It not fair!"

• Snarl (Deluxe Class, 2014)
  • Japanese ID number: AD28

Part of the third wave of deluxe class toys, Generations Snarl transforms into a robotic Stegosaurus with a layout inspired by his G1 counterpart. This mold is also redecoed in a G1-inspired deco as part of a SDCC 2014 exclusive Dinobot four-pack.

Snarl's largest pair of plates and thagomizer are removable as accessories in robot mode. Interestingly, one of his legs has a false head tucked into the side, and his real head folds in symmetrically on his other leg. This gives the impression that he has two dinosaur heads in robot mode, which is hilarious in hindsight because people used to believe that stegosaurs had two brains.

Notes

• While his deluxe Age of Extinction Generations toy is very much a stegosaurus like his Generation 1 counterpart, his character artwork and Power Attackers figure more closely resemble a huayangosaurus.
• Snarl is thus far the only non-knight themed Dinobot from the Age of Extinction line.
