- Snapdragon is a <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Decepticon" title="Decepticon">Decepticon</a> <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Horrorcon" title="Horrorcon">Horrorcon</a> in the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Generation_1_%28franchise%29" title="Generation 1 (franchise)">Generation 1</a> <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Continuity_family" title="Continuity family">continuity family</a>.
[[Image:|right|300px|thumb|Surprisingly, mauling Daniel did not make him an instant fan favorite.]] What <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Blot" title="Blot">Blot</a> does through carelessness, Snapdragon does with deliberation. He loves nothing more than bathing in putrid grease pits or, if those aren't available, the running fuel from his victims' corpses. His bouts of animalistic fury and sheer love of destruction would make him an excellent warrior if not for the fact that he's also as lazy as the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Empties" title="Empties">Empties</a> in <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Dead_End_%28place%29" title="Dead End (place)">Dead End</a>. His personal quarters are littered with alarm clocks shot to fragments by laser fire because Snapdragon just wasn't motivated to kill and maim that morning. His fellow Decepticons know they risk suffering a similar fate if they try to wake him. But often risk it in the hopes of channeling Snapdragon's rage towards the Autobots. Woe to the Autobot warrior who faces Snapdragon without his beauty rest. However, his lazy and appalling personal habits make him unwelcome among his fellow Decepticons, except for the equally thuggish <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Apeface" title="Apeface">Apeface</a>.
He is <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Binary_bonding" title="Binary bonding">binary bonded</a> with <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Krunk" title="Krunk">Krunk</a>, who only adds to his thuggish personality.

[[Image:|left|150px|thumb|"You smell, Snapdragon". "And you're annoying, Apeface." "Good point.

that, while Krunk is clearly designed to transform into both the robot
and dragon heads, Snapdragon retains his dragon mode head even when
Krunk is separated from him.</i>

- Snapdragon with Krunk (1987)
- Japanese ID number: D-100
Snapdragon transforms into a fighter jet with a really long front section, and also a 'reptile mode', which resembles a generic large theropod dinosaur. His jet mode has two detachable fins, while his reptile mode can have his two guns mounted on its back. His Headmaster partner, Krunk, is both his robot mode head and his reptile mode head (which is simply the robot mode head flipped on its back).

- According to the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Transformers_%28Atlus%29" class="mw-redirect" title="Transformers (Atlus)">2003 Japanese PS2 game</a>, Snapdragon's reptilian altmode is, in fact, a dragon.
