A.R.Ms # 15: Transformers Animated, Deluxe Snarl

Another Transformers Animated figure. Who doesn't love the 'cute' and not-so-smart Dinobots. They're like the court jesters of the Transformers Universe. Plus, they're a strong bunch compared to the rest of the Autobots.

Detail/Sculpt

Being a deluxe figure, I wasn't expecting much from it. Conversion was simple enough. The sculpt in dinosaur mode is beautiful. I can imagine if this was a voyager or leader class it would be freaking awesome.

In robot mode, I liked the fact that Hasbro decided to give him articulated fingers. His weapon is a bit odd in terms of the color. I think the black and orange/red color we see in the animated series is better.

Instead we have this translucent orange club that looks like a mutated orange sherbet sweet.

Due to his sculpt there isn't much movement in his arms and no movement in the torso. That's a shame (shame on you Hasbro!). Hasbro should also look into the paint for their figures (Q.C. problem?). Snarl sports a gold color on some of his body and they seem to be coming off and this was before I even opened the packaging. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
