Snarl per Toy Fair
Seriously? That's not a typo or something? -- SFH 03:35, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
- It's definitely not a typo. Word is, Hasbro couldn't secure the trademark. --ItsWalky 03:39, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
- Odd that the USPTO appears to think otherwise.--Nevermore 11:44, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
- Approved on Christmas—how sweet! I'd think that was enough lead time for Hasbro's Marketing Division or what have you to confirm the name on this particular toy in time for Toy Fair, but perhaps not.--Apcog 15:13, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

name
Think I figured it out. At Botcon, they said that early in production they didn't know if they could use terms like Slag, and it wasn't until midway through season 2 they got the go ahead(word slag is nonexistant before Ep11, shows up all the time now). Snarl featured in the first few episodes, meaning they would have been scripted before they got the go ahead to use terms like slag, ergo it required a name change. And when the cartoon changed the name, the toy had to follow. This would explain why the name isn't Slag, yet the word is now part of the TFA lexicon, and why the preproduction shots of the toy carried the title Slag. just a thoughtUser:GWolfv2 18.40 7 May (GMT)
- Hasbro feels they can't use the name on toys, regardless if the show can, so long as they sell those toys overseas. --ItsWalky 17:46, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
