Power of the Primes "Terrorcon Rippersnapper” is an all-new Deluxe mold that transforms into a bipedal shark-like creature based on his original toy. Rippersnapper can also convert into a limb for any Combiner Wars-style Combiner (or into one of Legends Godbomber’s legs), although he was meant to combine with Hun-Gurrr to form Abominus. Though based on his G1 design, Rippersnapper’s leg mode is flipped from the original toy, showcasing the shark head in front rather than hiding it in back. Like all Power of the Primes Deluxe Class figures, he comes with Prime Armor with a spot for a Prime Master (and by extension, a Titan Master, Enigma, or Matrix core) that can form a combiner hand. The Prime Master port has a filler piece which can be held as a pistol when the port is in use. The toy also includes two shoulder cannons which attach to the figure with 5 mm pegs and feature smaller pegs for a Prime Master to stand on. These small pegs (and the instructions) indicate that the shoulder cannons are attached upside-down in-package. Two more of these pegs are located just behind the shark fin. Meanwhile, two rectangular pegs can be used to attach his Prime Armor to his beast-mode rump.
Similar to Slug and Sludge, the peghole on Rippersnapper’s feet used to attach the combiner hands or feet is very thinly molded and easily broken. Extreme caution should be taken when plugging anything into it or manipulating what may have already been inserted, especially since unlike Slug and Sludge, Rippersnapper’s combiner peghole pulls double duty for both combiner hands and feet. Should the plastic snap, its tension will be severely reduced and may lead to the combiner hands or feet falling out. In some cases, it may simply not be possible to avoid breaking the peghole aside from not using it. Unlike Blot, Rippersnapper lacks pins that connect his shoulder joints to the body, meaning that they can be pulled off without much force.
Rippersnapper is the only Power of the Primes Terrorcon to be shown in robot mode on his package art.
Rippersnapper was slightly retooled into Generations Selects Overbite and Sea Phantom. He was also heavily retooled into Power of the Primes Terrorcon Blot, who was further retooled into Generations Selects Lobclaw, and yet again into Gulf and Coelagon.
