I've decided to face my fear. also, jetstorms "mishap" was my fault, I put the insect leg on the wrong side, thus casing a hairline crack. so:

Don't think I've seen that Dinobot repaint before. Which on is it?

 

If I remember correctly I think its the "Fox Kids" version of the toy

 

Yes, it's the fox kids version.

 

The four characters I played with the most as a kid. I've always enjoyed non show characters more than show characters. I liked my making my own adventures up with characters that weren't on the show.

Snarl, Spittor, and Razorclaw were their own unit of Maximals. Basically Snarl was apart of search team looking for the Axalon and was attacked by a rogue Predacon shuttle. Snarl returned fire and both crafts drifted into a wormhole and crashed on Earth. Snarl was the lone survivor of the small crew and attempted to scan for a life form with the damage systems. Later Snarl found a stasis pod belonging to the Axalon and helped to save the protoform, giving rise to Spittor.

Razorclaw was onboard the Predacon shuttle, he was a spy working for the Maximal Elders. His cover was discovered by the shuttle commander soon after the crash. He fleed but not before using his new weapons to crush some Predacons in his path.











Iguanus was the main foe when I was a kid. He was the shuttle commander and ended up as the lone survivor of his crew as the crash and Razorclaw took them out. While he hates the Maximals, he has a burning hatred for Razorclaw.

 

I have a new home for my figures, right on top of my CHUG case.

 

Shields.

I think Transformers designers are really missing a trick by not giving more figures a shield. Not only are they a good accessory to have, but they could be used on the under-side of figures to hide robotic limbs whilst in alt-mode.

 

Shields are tough to integrate into a design without getting in the way of articulation, and the fandom has been so vocally against "partsforming" that HasTak won't do it even when it is an established thing the character does. You have a good idea, but they apparently feel they are damned if they do and damned if they don't...

 

Perhaps growing up with K-9 and Wolfang has warped my perceptions.

 

I'm starting to come around on Snarl. Yeah his feet and hands are dumb, and his back pack looks like a ball sack, but he isn't that bad.

 

The beast mode itself is pretty redeeming with it's opening jaw feature, plus when are we ever going to get another Tasmanian Devil transformers? That's just neat.

 

That would imply we have one already.   Snarl is anything but a Tasmanian Devil. He's like a scary racoon dog monster.

 

Pretty sure they based Snarl off of this:

 

HAW!!! Someone please photoshop Snarl's backer card to read "Scary Racoon Dog Monster Becomes Surprise Attack Robot!"

 

Well shit that just scared the crap out of me.  

Pretty sure scary rabid dog thing wouldn't have exactly led to big sales with moms.

 

I'll have some pics up later, but Megatron has arrived!
