Snarl (BW)

Snarl is a Maximal from the Beast Wars era.

Snarl is an expert at surprise attack. Using a cloaking field, similar to the one employed by Beast Wars era Ravage, he can vanish at will and infiltrate Predacon strongholds. Snarl enjoys reappearing in a dramatic fashion to startle foe or friend alike. He is a cool and confident warrior, sure of his own abilities and with an independent streak a sector wide. Snarl is young and a little impatient. Even when working as part of a group he has the tendency to cloak himself and wander off to pursue their goals in his own fashion. This occasionally annoys his comrades, but usually his impressive results speak for themselves.

Snarl transforms into an abnormally large tasmaninan devil, although his resemblence to an actual tasmanian devil is rather questionable.

Snarl was one of the protoforms activated and put in chronal phase by Razorbeast at Magmatron's request. He was protected from Magmatron's Predacon shell-program by a viral code Razorbeast inserted. Comming online in a swampy area he was one of the first Maximals to hear and respond to Razorbeast's signal.

During the search for the Transwarp Amplifier in Ravage's crashed ship, he used his stealth ability to save Optimus Minor from Drillbit.
