Wow, the comparison between the leader class and deluxe class Snarl is immense. Like you said, it's comparing a leader to a deluxe, but still, it shows how much of a step up this new SS 86 is. Great review. I can't wait to get him myself!

Looking at both of them, side-by-side, the only material difference I can see is the scale. Given the difference in price, I wouldn't exactly call the SS a "night-and-day" upgrade. The old one still looks extremely decent.

Whenever they release Swoop, it'd be neat if you get a group shot of the Dinobots and Wheeljack, seeing as he made them in the show

[@vietcong411]

And Ratchet

[@tukai1976]

Then add the technobots for the full family tree

[@matts1166]

I love these versions, but I REALLY with they'd have integrated the little "secret compartments" from the old G1 versions, even though they don't really have a purpose. When I first unboxed Sludge I thought he actually had it, but no, it's just an armor panel.

[@zegop5736]

The designers had one chance to cleverly hide the Dino head for the leader dinobots and boy they did not disappoint

[@sprouting_lady]

Well, with Snarl anyway. With Grimlock and Sludge they absolutely just kinda....threw them on the back. Not sure what else you could really do though, in fairness. Good news is Swoop is like Slag, in that the head is a part of the design and not just kibble.

[@coolbone6177]

​@@sprouting_ladythat is a Iconic Look for sludge

Love that they gave Snarl a series 86 release even though he had maybe 20 seconds of screen time in TFTM.

[@tyrannomon267]

The whole community would kill hasbro if they didnt release 86 snarl

[@ghostfloxks7414]

He had 2 frames which total 1.5 seconds

[@toysurgeon4170]

I appreciate the reverse transformation. Please continue doing it moving forward.

[@evilbanana0718]

I think you mean. Going back. Mahahahahah

[@Theratron]

Kudos on how clear you film these transformation sequences! Really easy to follow, all the tabs clearly visible. Great review as always 👍

[@MrDEMarq]

All I gotta say is that Swoop needs to scale the same size as his fellow Dinobots in bot mode. and hopefully Snarl won't be as hard to find as the others were.

[@EclipseWarlord]

Sludge just appeared in stores in my area last week, along with SS86 Ironhide.

[@baconatorrodriguez4651]

We just got an email from Hasbro Pulse in the UK about availability today, due out in August, max 3 per account.

[@kyledamron]

I only know one place to pre order a this point

[@erickavery1]

oh man...Snarl was the only G1 dinobot I had growing up so he's definitely my favorite...and this looks incredible

[@zaknafiend1795]

same :D

[@Flamboyant-randomist]

I had all bar Swoop as nowhere seemed to stock him between '85 & 87 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

[@patrickhein6986]

Same. He was also my only G1 Dinobot.

[@liveuntetheredmusepodcast4832]

Trust me, i am a very hard Transformers critic.. and this Snarl is near perfect. I bought four. He will not dissapoint.

[@ryantheregularravensfan8151]

In an odd way, I think it would be kinda cool if they somehow keep Snarl & Swoop with the same coloring gold/yellow dino heads because they were add-ons to the original team of 3 in the G1 cartoon...if there shrewd enough to actually make that distinction, might be a cool set to actually show that but we'll see...I can't wait for these figures to drop because I've stopped collecting mainline figures but I still want to complete the Dinobots

[@Flamboyant-randomist]

*they're.

[@YoshikiByankotsu]

while the yellow-goldish plastic of head and legs stands out, it's also true that they're keeping with the "each dinobot has its own coloring quirk", with Slug having good portions of gray plastic and Sludge having the silver paint apps, so in a way he still fits.

[@Professorsoundwaves]

I concur that the dino head and legs could’ve been painted gold, like his brothers. Cheap decision by HasTak. The rest is pretty awesome! Hope Swoop will be well painted. Great review.

[@AntiDecepticonCampaign]

To quote my nonexistent black auntie: That Wrist Tilt! Boy! Boi! Boyeeeeeeeee!!! But That head split? Gurrrrrl please!

[@McCrackbaby]

So excited to see this review. I was really concerned we were stopping at 3 with the lack of news!

[@TheMagicRobot]

I wish Hasbro would make more accessory packs, like the Centurion Drone. It'd be cool if they made something like the training drone Hotrod fights in that one scene and have it come with all the Dinobot's missing swords and snarl's gun for the SS86 line.

[@aegis20xx7]

Gotta say I'm impressed with Snarl, I was worried about this guy after the issues with Sludge, here's hoping they stay on track when Swoop comes out.

[@PrimeVsPrime]

He’s really solid luckily!

[@GojiraFan-in9oo]

They need to hurry the hell up and make SS G1 Swoop so we can finally have the rest of the AOE Dinobots

[@VideoGaming4U]

Just pick this guy up yesterday! Truly my favorite so far and I can't wait for Swoop!

[@liveuntetheredmusepodcast4832]

Well done Autobot , now let's ask Wheeljack to get started on Swoop!

[@alienrefugee51]

Maybe they thought the transformation might likely chip gold paint on the dino head and went for unpainted instead? I can't imagine they'd intentionally cheap out on something like that, when they paid so much attention to detail overall.

[@baldytalkinnerdy3462]

I’m sure DNA will have the solution to that before long!

[@saysoun752]

They do that with their Masterpiece line as well. It'll be completely painted except for pieces that moves a lot or if it might chip because of the transformation.

[@sprouting_lady]

That's my guess. Snarl is the only dinobot that features significant amounts of gold on sections of plastic that need to be tucked away tightly away and/or articulated. Worse, due to the transformation and design they're almost all very small. His head and legs would get chipped to hell and back if they were painted, and if they were unpainted gold plastic it's probably bound for gold plastic syndrome.

[@YungKenKanekiYT]

Snarl : I defeated Grimlock, so that makes me king! see? see?

[@ryanweston6182]

By far my most anticipated Dinobot. Man i wish i could get them as soon as you do.

[@migatron1]

Gonna need a new Overlord figure soon for a rematch

[@lbarocio]

I will likely pick him up. The head splitting gap is terrible though. I’m sure there will hopefully be some after market kit that helps keep the head closer together.

[@GameTime-yj6qv]

Mine doesn't get that gap. Maybe it was just a QC issue for this particular transformer

[@greninja-qm2tz]

The shade of yellow used for the Dino head and legs are still gonna take some getting used to for me. It just makes him stick out compared to the others. Other than that, he's practically flawless. Can't wait for him to come out!

[@marvinonstage]

I'm waiting for the blue Swoop to be a Hasbro Exclusive and the red one for general release to my dismay. Maybe since Swoop is smaller than the others they will pack the swords for thr rest of the team with him to balance out that price point.

[@poodlescone9700]

The designers improved on the weak point of the G1 that was the back panel swing arms. Glad to see they learned from past mistakes.

[@marionhope7506]

Wow! The engineering on these guys is clever & surprising! You really wouldn’t expect the level of detail & moving parts from these guys looking at the bot modes.😍🥰😍

[@oxarchangelxo]

I can't wait to get my hands on this one! My team will be one step closer to being completed!

[@EdwardRomeoFang]

If you open up the panels on the neck a bit , he can look up. But it will sacrifice the overall looking of the Dino mode.

[@FredGrabara]

My copy I had to use a screwdriver to pry out the front dino legs and fold in the fists. Very tight around there, the fists and feet kept popping off.

[@7411.]

These 84 movie dinobots are awesome!!!

[@erikmartinez1384]

Since Snarl and Swoop came later in the cartoon, maybe they will make Swoop with the same yellow/gold plastic to pair them up and distinguish them from the first three. IDK, just a thought.

[@dennismoon6693]

I know this is nitpicking, but the split head is a bit of a deal breaker. Not the fact that it splits in half - that's faithful to the original, but the fact that the two halves don't hold together more securely. Better if they had kept the head whole and figured a way to hide it into one leg.

[@RadicalWaff]

This is an awesome figure for a character that only appear less than 15 seconds in the movie :)

[@RarebitFiends]

Wow he looks great! I have been loving these SS-86 Dinobots, some of the best mainline figures imo.

[@leonardosantin3173]

I was waiting my whole life for this I thought they only made the first dinobots and were gonna keep it that way

[@JohnKerans]

Looks like a great model. I had what I'm guessing was an original G1 snap as a kid. Seem to remember those Dino bots all had shiny gold parts and some posts were a semi transparent plastic

[@antiseize11]

Especially Grimlock, phew. At least a G2 Grimlock is on its way

[@darrenrobinson1712]

Great review. For me this is the best robot mode so far, smashed it. Dino mode is good but only minor issue with lack of gold on the head and also I think the back plates should be a bit bigger. Definitely buying this.

[@aurona]

Another great review, so jealous you get these guys early lol. Shame about the gold paint, I would have accepted a few hollow spots if it meant the budget went to the painting.

[@waynetaylor1044]

I wonder if Snarl (and Swoop potentially) have yellow on them because they were created separate from Grimlock, Slug and Sludge in the series? I hope that's the case.

[@sci-fi.tsunami]

1 whole year later & this guy is finally starting to hit stores. I found 1 at Target today & finally added him to the collection.

[@amitypredator9385]

They need to fix that split head before official release, but I remember Ironhide had similar issues before release and nothing changed so chances are we're already getting split heads.

[@ianmaclellan7623]

This is probably the most excited I've been for the 86 Dinobots, idk why, this one just seems that much better

[@Beedo_Sookcool]

Great coverage! Thank you! Looks great in 'bot mode, transformation looks pretty clever, but . . . oh, that dinosaur mode. YIKES.

[@KOAHUNT3R]

I've been stoked for this release since the leaks. I was a bit disappointed in Sludge, especially with those loose leg joints; however, Grimlock and Slug are in my top favorite figures I own. I literally can't wait to get this guy in hand.

[@arcadesrevenge]

What’s the box look like? Should show it in the review

[@xpressway2yrskull374]

We are living in the golden age of Transformers!

[@TFfangeek]

Congrats on getting Snarl PrimeVsPrime!!! I hope the joints that keep Snarl's dino head together are tightened, so it doesn't look like Snarl's face has been sliced in half. lol Snarl looks epic, he's my second favorite Dinobot after Grimlock, since the stegosaurus is my favorite dinosaur. I was afraid me might not get Snarl in the SS86 line, due to him appearing in only three screen shots that last a total of four seconds in the G1 film. Keep on being amazing.

[@danielsnyder9200]

I can't wait to see how Swoop turns out in this line!! Is it sad that I want to hope to see Scorn (Spinosaurus) and Scowl (Ankylosaurus) get the G1 treatment like Slash did in Power of the Primes? Seeing how well done the Dinobots have been in StudioSeries86 has me hyped to see Scorn and Scowl in the G1 Style, especially with this level of engineering; heck, I wouldn't complain if they revisited Slash and upgraded her to the Deluxe Class and keeping the same G1 Style along with Scorn and Scowl (as Leader Class, of course)

[@ShadowRose224]

Can never have too many Dinobots. I have the same hopes

[@Rodsuper]

Cannot wait to get him and Swoop to complete the set!!!

Dino mode is not accurate to the 86 movie. His ass end isn’t mushed in. 37:37 is the time stamp in the movie where you see his full Dino mode.

I don’t know if they can still call it “studio series” without a movie, but that would be an amazing next direction for that team to go.

[@superomegaprimemk2]

@@nameforcomments4092 If you think about it, Snarl only appeared in the 86 movie for a few seconds, hardly noticable and yet, he getting a toy based upon his G1 Cartoon appearance, besides, what to stop them from using Studio series branding for the G1 Cartoon or the other cartoon shows of Transformers? Until resently, it was live action movie exclusive line, but then, they began to run out of characters who appeared in the films and were note worthy, and Rise of the Beasts got delayed by a year, so they decided upon the 86 movie, thou I think Kingdom was a line that got mixed up with Studio series figures, such as Cyclonus & Galvatron!

As a HUGE G1 cartoon/the Movie fan I love the SS86 series in general and I think the legacy line is doing a good job of covering a lot of eras including G1 like with the great Insecticons. But I have been waiting for snarl and swoop forever as I've got the 1st 3 dinobots. I get paid in a day or 2 so I'll preorder Snarl then, I just pre-ordered the other figure I had been wishing for since SS86 debuted and that's Brawn, then I'll go for Beachcomber and Devcon lol. Another brilliant review, any chance you will review Brawn soon?

Put a drop of Krazy Glue on the peg then close the head together & pull it apart immediately. Then let the glue dry. You want to make the hole a tiny bit smaller/tighter so the peg will hold. A thin layer of dried glue will make the hole ever so slightly smaller.
