Title:
Snarl 2nd Robot Mode
Description:
Snarl (Deluxe, 2005)
Takara ID number: GC-14
Takara release date: March 17, 2005
Accessories: Tail/sword/missile launcher weapon, missile, Jungle Planet Cyber Key
Cyber Key Code: d43j
Known designers: Hirofumi Ichikawa (concept artist)
Part of the "Jungle Planet” theme, Cybertron Snarl transforms into a robotic wolf. His articulated tail (which becomes a hand held sword/rifle in robot mode) features a spring-loaded missile launcher that can fire a transparent yellow projectile, making him one of the few Jungle Planet Transformers with a ranged weapon. Inserting a Cyber Key into the back of his wolf-head causes his lower jaw to open and a pair of transparent yellow fangs to extend from his upper mouth. Unlike other Cyber Key gimmicks, this feature does not automatically lock itself into position, so as to allow the user to open his mouth repeatedly with the Cyber Key. However, his mouth can be locked into the open position by rotating down the two pieces of blue ’fur’ on his cheeks.
He was first released in the Takara Galaxy Force line as "Fang Wolf”. The later Hasbro Cybertron "Snarl” version loses several paint applications from the Takara version, omitting the yellow on his wolf-claws and some white lining on his thighs. However, the Cybertron cartoon uses the Hasbro version’s paint layouts, so if you really care about show-accuracy, well, there you go.
This mold was also used to make BotCon 2007’s Weirdwolf.
